haha i dont do anything abnormal to my tC-- but, by the back side window there is a very small edge directly under the window that sticks out (just a bit)-- I have a paint chip there (how it happened, not too sure...) but the car only has 2400 on it =/ I'm scared of what it would look like at 24,000 =X

BE CAREFUL WITH THE SPRAY BAYS!

My friend was spraying his hood when a huge area of paint on his BMW flaked off under the pressure from what water blast!

On the 2006-2007 audio systems it is supposed to be able to show 2 pages (32 characters total) of text- You're supposed to press the text button so that it shows in this order: Elapsed time--> disc title--> track title. When the little "play" symbol is showing (the triangle that points right) then you have to hold the text button until you hear a beep.

It should show the next page of text-- Same thing for the base audio in the MY 08.

For the Premium audio in the MY 08, same deal but for some reason it only shows 31 characters total.

And as for the Nav in the MY08, well, I still haven't figured that one out...and its the one I have...haha figures.

When I control my ipod on the stereo- I didn't think I could search my ipod by artists, just by play lists, and songs! I wanted to listen to Yellowcard Friday night, I had to scroll threw 1500 songs!! I was soooo mad, and thought it was ridiculous- that you couldn't search by artist.. THEN today, I was playing with the dial, and my finger slipped, and there it was- the ARTIST selection- It totally made my day!

Also, I am an avid horn honker when I get a little road raged- I never honked the horn until my 4th day of driving! What a crapper- It is like I am saying, "would you please get out of my way, thanks" Exactly not what I am saying.

I never test drove the tC when I bought it. All I knew was that I had to have it. When I drove off the lot, I realized how short the gears were. As I was driving home on the freeway, I was like, "Where the F is 6th gear?"

Really, buzzing at 3,800 rpm going 80mph for a 2.4L engine is ridiculous.

^ Not even. I never test drove my tC either. I knew from months of online research and lurking at SL that I needed to get one, but I never even turned on the ignition until after I bought it.

^^^Exactly. Most tCs were as good as sold when they are driven off the truck.

I had a regular blue tC ordered for me. However, I saw the RS2 and it was on hold "no deposit given" by another customer. I told my salesman, I'll take it off your hands now, no games... give me the sales contract and I'll sign it.

After 15 minutes he had a new invoice and the car was mine. When we were walking out of the sales floor to drive my car home, some chick was sitting in it and telling her salesperson that she wanted it. I pushed the unlock button on the key and told her it was my car

I learned that two chicks will make out in the back seat, and that is very distracting when you're driving.

But with the tC, you already know there won't be poop on the seat.

That as soon as I drove it off the lot, got on the highway and hit 60mph, I'd have to bust out the screwdriver to get rid of the annoying "whistle".

Didn't you hear? The RS3 has a magical whistling grille.
