I got mine in July and it's almost at 30k miles. Love it!

It even handled better in the snow than I thought it would.

I'm trying to get my sister-in-law in Katy to get one. She loves her too-big SUV, though. Too bad!

What are "naps"? (Sorry-- I'm an old f**t...)

What brand/model of remote start are you trying to install?

If you are going to drive that MANY miles each day. Then I say go Solara, because it is MUCH more comfortable than the tC. The tC has a really stiff suspension. My rides to NYC are very painful in the tC. Hitting big potholes feels like a major collision.

no rattles but a woofer in the truck should change that. ive had alignment issues from the day it left the lots most of which have been addressed and taken care of at a dealership. ive also had fitment issues with the door panels, air vents and some window trim. the door panel was ordered but had the same defects, another one is on the way. i will point out the other fitment issues later to the dealer. other than that i can say i really like my tC. im not so fond of the understeer though and underpowered stereo.

Just got some bad news.......

Looks like I won't be getting a new car after all. My brother didn't want my car, so I will be keeping, cuz I don't want to trade it in or sell it.
Now, I feel like a fool for posting this topic up. Well, thanks to all of you for your help.
