worth getting the 06 tc?? *update*
i have been looking to buy either the tc or a civic. i finally decided to get the tc.. planning on going down to the dealership later today to make my purchase.. BUT.. reading in this forum has some what stopped me from going today.. all these rattle problems.. i'm scared to buy a tc now.. are all those problems WORTH getting a tc? i already went to the dealership 2 days ago, saw one up close, got in it (although i didnt get a chance to test drive it because they only has a manual and i cant drive manuals) and i really liked it... but again... the damn rattle you guys keep on talking about.. i keep telling myself that it might be just a FEW cars that has that problem.. i'm only hearing from the people that went through that problem.. i bet there are more people out there that dont come on this forum that doesnt have the rattle problem...?? riight..??
*update*
i just got back from the dealer.. i bought it.. mine is in nautical blue.. i only got the pedestal spoiler and floor mats.. should be arriving within 3-6 weeks per dealer.. hmm... i can't wait!! hehe.. im very excited.. heopfully, i wont be having any problems with it..

I have had mine since aug 3rd. no hint of any rattle or sunroof weirdness at all. the 06s streering wheel controls and HU are the greatness. not a doubt in my mind that I bought a great car.
I say go for it, I havent heard of any rattles noises in the 06 version of the tC.

Some 06's have reported the same rattles, and the 06 is the same car as the 05.
I have an 05. I went about 4 months with no rattles and then I started having the chirp near the radio, a rattle in the glove box area, rattle and pop in sunroof, and rattle in the hatch. Having said that, the only one that is annoying is the hatch rattle, and it doesn't do it all the time. The others are not consistant and only occur occasionally.
These occasional noises do not at all make me regret buying the car... I love it.

Mine was an "06 with the rattle. I'd take the TC with a rattle over the civic w/o one though. The TC has much better styling etc... My rattle is fixed. While my car was in the shop I talked to several other TC owners...none had the rattle. Both loaner cars I had (Tahoo, Focus) had rattles too. Remember people who complain on websites are usually just a fraction of a much bigger pond of owners. The others have no reason to complain.

dont worry about the rattle prob...i some times here it but like some members on the forum have found out....the rattle is simply caused by some wireing in the hatch that bangs against it over bumps and stuff.....its just wires...nothing is lose or any major prob like that, so dont worry about it. besides a tC is way better then a civic....civics are way to overrated...the tC is hot and sexy...iam sure you know that....now that you have bought one.
