Road & Track Mini-Review of the tC

Here is the article.

I picked up the mag expecting a full review (like in Car & Driver) but it was just what you see at the above link. They seemed to like it a lot. Theirs had a full TRD suspension, 18s and supercharger. Has anybody driven the stock car and one with TRD springs and sway bar back-to-back? I find that when taking turns at speed my car gets a little "floaty", especially if there are dips or bumps in the road. I'd like to keep the stock struts for now, so I wonder if the addition of the TRD springs and sway bar would remedy that.

Is bashing the tC all you do around here? I've been lurking for a while, and it seems as though all you do is bash the tC. I'm sorry, but the xA is no prize either. I mean, it's a nice vehicle, but I can't get past the kiddie store looks, center-mounted guages, and anemic engine.

Yeah and he/she is scared to put his/her location in his/her profile. Too bad users on this forum cannot eliminate his/her posts when reading the posts. But sometimes they are rather humorous.

She put her location, she's in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. After searching through all 430 of her posts I find about half of them have something to do with the tC in a negative tone. Sounds like someone is upset that she purchased the midget mini-van instead of the tC. Talk about neutral and bland.

they didn't seem all that impressed with the supercharger, and according to them didn't really feel any added torque.

Actually it said they just didn't feel any more low end power, but in the middle of the powerband it surged and was excellent. Maybe the reason it's not out yet is because they're working on tuning it properly for the tC still. They could have released it right away, but why not get it perfect first ya know.
