First choice was a Tiburon, drove it, then tried the Tc
Tc is a much better car.

Sorry vegas driver, but out of the box the 300zx TT is faster, with stronger internals. and weighs less.

300zx > 350z

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.

We have a RAV4 and the new one was really tempting! It's nice - but believe it or not, the iPod HU was what made me do the tC. RAV4's are under-appreciated vehicles, but if you own one, you know why they're great.
