From xB to tC

From xB to tC
Hey Everyone!
I am about to purchase a new tC and say goodbye to my 06 xB. I've read the forums a bit and wanted to ask for myself, what does everyone think of their tC? Please be honest:-)
I am thinking 08 in Flint Mica. I was also considering the Release Series for this year but is it really worth the money? It looks sweet!
Also, I am in the Atlanta, GA area and was wondering if anyone recommended a certain dealer or knew of someone that they recommened. I am looking to purchase within the next week and a half.
I anticipate your input:-)
Thanks,
J

The only thing I don't like, which you have probally read thousands of times is the rattles and soft paint. Other than that I love the car. I think the rs series is worth the money even though im not a huge fan of the rs3 you should get what makes ya happy.

Thank you all for your input! I appreciate it!
Someone had mentioned if not the tC then the xA and I just have one thing to say to that "No Way!!" no offense to xA owners, just way too small for me.
My only questions regarding the soft paint comment and the rattles.
What does it mean when you say soft paint? Also, most of the rattles are fixable right?
I think I will be getting it this weekend. I am going to get the basic with only the lip spoiler as an add on I think but it looks good even without it. Flint Mica and base model, good decision? I like the RS but something is making me hesitant.
Also, I have the Scoche 10 inch sub from Crutchfield in my xB, does anyone know if it will fit in the tC? I would hate to give up the sub and amp if I didn't have to.
Please give me your thoughts:-)

howdy! my wife and i bought our rs 4 back in march of this year from stone mountain toyota since we live just down the road from them. we delt with ray and beverly there.
i drove by there the other day and saw there were 4 flint mica's on the lot. they were easy to deal with and i intend to go back to them when it's time to swap the 4runner for a tc as well.
happy shopping!

I am glad to see SO many happy with their tC. Where can I find out what the RS4 looks like? I thought the RS3 was this year's release series.
I cannot wait to go get my new car. I just scored a 4.9% interest rate for my loan and that was like the icing on the cake for me today

I'm thinking of getting the 2nd gen xB in replace of my tC... Oh well....
But it really is fun to have a tC. Lots of mods to do. Only thing I hate is what most people's perception towards a tC.... Darn it civic driver!!!! Stop taunting me!!!! It's a slow car stup!d @$$ ****!!!

I would not bother with the release series. I think the rs1 grille was cool and I loved the red color. The rs2 SUCKED. The blue was ___. The billet grille was ULTRA ___. Billet is for mexicans in low riders. And the rs3 is BORING. Don't bother with the extra cost.

I traded my 05 xB for an 07 tC back in December, and I couldn't be happier!
Much more power, better handling, quieter (despite the sunroof/hatch rattle).
I'm getting about the same mileage (27ish).
Granted, I can't haul a washing machine in the tC like I did the xB - that's what the 77 Toyota Pickup I'm getting is for.
The box was fun, it was unique, but the tC just seems like so much more CAR than the box was.
Whatever you decide, good luck!
