I don't know. I think the car is pretty cheap. Comparatively, anyway. About the cheapest car I think you can get is a like a Chevy Aveo, and I think they're about $10-13. We're not far off, but we get a lot of bang for our buck because the panoramic sunroof is stock, and it does have a lot of styling to it. Plus, the sound system is not completely horrible, but I don't know what the bottom stock one sounds like because I have the premium package. I paid about $22,000 (I think, with taxes), and it is definitely cheaper than that $30,000+ I was thinking about dropping on the new Camaro. I had decided just wanted an A to B car with a nice warranty, but when they delivered the RS, I was impressed. Although, over time, there are those things like you are like "why don't I have that??!/why did they design it this way??!".

I'm on the boat with the wanting a couple of extra gears, too. That's one of the few things I like about the 2011.

I dislike the fact that having it doesn't bring me any closer to meeting Chuck Norris.

Extremelly good point!

I would have to say the fact that it's an automatic. I'm learning more and more each day how much power a manual can hold vs. an auto. I had no idea when buying my tC. But, I am completely clueless about driving a stick.

The engine sucks ***** when it comes to power gain. i wished that it had more power expandable capabilities with FI mods.

Drive on the freeway with your roof open. Push that glass down. You'll understand its purpose then.

a couple of people have discussed it and even less have tried. The one guy that was almost successful in swapping the transmission from a corolla XRS (the previous gen not the current one) wrecked his tC before he could finish it.

-its too damn heavy... it should weigh around 2600-2800 lbs IMO with the same 2az motor.

-no rear windshield wiper

-automatic 4 spd, needless to say more

-for the manuals i dont like the placement of the shifter, nor the way it looks

-i should be getting better mileage with a 4 banger

-stock ride height is a bit too high

-2.4L engine should be making more than 160hp...

Cheap paint - Lots of scratchs/nicks
cheap glass- Lots of nicks

Other than that i really like the car for its price. People can't sit here and complain about things like power. You should have known what you were getting before you bought the car.
