I'll make the list....I'm just bored enough. And although I don't know EVERYTHING about what the tC has....I do see some glaring errors in this list, such as:
The entire list of what I clipped is available and standard in a tC, with one exception....
Scions don't have Speed-Sensitive Volume Control (SVC) Standard; they have something better that actually raises the radio volume based on the ambient noise in the car. The louder it gets inside the car, the louder the radio gets. It's not based on speed.
And please, about the crash ratings.....let's not quibble over two extra measly 5's. I totaled a civic and got scratches.....a guy from this forum rolled his tC and got the same. BOTH cars are designed to save your butt in a wreck, any wreck. That's not even an issue.

Copy and Paste it. Then I'll copy and paste it from the honda website so the comparison will be more accurate. Never theless, VSA + Helical LSD, Tire monitoring, oil monitoring, moonroof with tilt sunroof, more leg, waist and head room, free XM for 3 months, 360Watts with 7 speakers and subwoofer, more airbags, safer and 17" standard.
Get me the facts for the others to add more to the civic side or viceversa
