needs more ponies.i hate the fact that my manual tranny sometime doesnt go into gear propely, the long reach for fifth gear and the shifter is a tad too high and far for drivers. oh yeah and the stock radio sucks booty and the little as door pockets the stock suspension but other than that i love this car to death right now

things that bother me most:

1. when i pop the sunroof up, the wind deflector (in the down position) rattles BAD over bumpy roads. anybody else have this problem?
2. the "open hood" latch (inside car by steering wheel) also rattles over bumpy roads.

I'm talking about streets that need to be repaved. I don't offroad in my Tc ! Gov. Ah-nold needs give some $ to fix the streets!

no memory on the passenger seat
i have to shift into second when turning left in an intersection (first gear is too short)
paint scratches way too easily
wish it made some type of noise to tell me it locked the doors
reverse is a pain in the butt sometimes and it whines too loud
thats about it, otherwise, i love it

Car heats up too quickly when windows are rolled up, A/C isn't powerfull enough, paint is thin, no real noise deading products, when it rains water gets into the car when I open the door/trunk, the tires suck ___, dealer accessories are way over priced and finaly, its not RWD.

Aside from those small observations, its cool.

Its seems to be exactly 1 inch extra material on the left and this causes that goofy slack.
Mine is like that too. But i know for a fact that it should be pulled tight on both sides. I saw it like that one another tC. I tried taking it in for service, but I don't have 3 hours to waste while the guy removes the entire seat looking for the defect.

Also about the trunk release: mine unlocks/locks with my after market alarm.

- Don't like rear hatch water channeling (doesn't work!)
- Don't like lack of passenger seat memory
- Don't like all those damned rattling sounds
man mine are liek that too annoying

I actually really like the radio cover... it works fine, is a good theft deterent and blocks the sun off the display from most angles. Whats wrong with yours? Or do you just not like it?
he's talkin about the squeaky sound it makes when the interior temperature is cold when cruising

For the $$$, not much. I do wish a few more options were available...AWD, v-6 Camry engine, 3rd door kinda like on the Saturn ion or whatever, & leather for starters.
Sounds like i need a Lexus.

why are folks complaining about no 6th gear and that it's FWD? c'mon people, it's a 16 grand car... what do you expect? the tC is exceptional for the money, but yeah, i admit, i hate the all-button stereo too.

Yeah, you can find things wrong with a mercedes. The thing is, if you wanted great paint, better stereo's, more hp, awd, etc, etc...buy a different car and pay for it. For 16 g's, it's a steal.

require beep when lock/unlocking
headlight should turn off when pressing the remote lock button the second time like on is300
body intregrity doesn't feel strong
telescopic steering required
sound sys can be beefed up a bit
sterring wheel radio controls should be up and down, instead of side to side
the key should be black, not grey
guage lighting to be brighter (common issues among toyota)
heard bad stuff about paint, but i haven't got any chips yet
some rattles
blind spots
doors too large and heavy
hmm, that's about all i can think of now... don't get me wrong, i love my car, but i can still critique it fairly with my personal opinions.

16g is a lot of money...

I bet other comparable cars don't have similar issues with paint.

Everyone is complaining about that cubby light. I like it. I wired my cathods to it since it was right there ,and now they turn on with my lights, and shut off whenever they do (like when I open the door and the car is off).

The stock shift **** is ugly
Back rattles like crazy (from music too loud)
I got snow in those door pockets the other day, harder than heck to get it out of there. What are the point of those?
Shifter doesnt feel as smooth as it should(might be becuase it is my first stick)

Thats all I can think of at the moment.
