What was your 2nd choice to tC when purchasing?
Before the tC I was a signature away from getting an '02 WRX. But after doing research and seeing that they don't great tranny's I decided to get my the tC...better choice overall.
I change my mind every couple of months. One month it was a mustang gt. Another month it was an Escape or a Liberty. Another month it was the Fusion. All in all, the tC has been at the top of the list since it was introduced at NAIAS.
My requirements were 2-door, manual trans, under $20k.
Only other car I seriously considered (from the very few to choose from) was the '06 Civic LX Coupe. Main problem with it was that I couldn't get in or out of it without hitting my head. It's also the least expensive/least standard optioned package Civic Coupe available in SoCal, and my out-the-door price would have only been $200 less than what I paid for the tC. The tC seems to be a lot better value, and the only thing I really prefer about the Honda in comparison is gas milage.
Still a tough choice, imo. The tC is geared so damned low it's disturbing. If I could have got in/out of the Civic w/o a concussion, good chance I'd be driving one.

My first whentrading in the 01' Carbon Blue Celica was A Tc. I really Grew on the xB though because of the kids. Kids dont fit in a Celica or a Tc too well. I loved the xB's interior space. The xA I hated when I looked at one but now I kinda really wished I had given it a second look.

First choice was the civic, but since that didnt work out, it was the tC.
