I have had my car for a month now and overall i am happy with my purchase. I have a used 2011 tc with the upgraded alpine stereo w/platinum warranty and 3 years prepaid maintenance. This car is mainly for my fiance so its automatic i traded in her 06 civic lx for the scion. The mods I have so far are led's, and a 55w 10k hid kit from ddm tuning, I haven't even made the first payment yet lol. I'll be adding some trd lowering springs as well as trd exhaust, struts and sways, and a roof spoiler when they come off backorder or when ever I get my hands on one lol.

This is what I traded in

That civic was acting up lol started giving me too many problems so we decided to get rid of her it was an 06 with a 2010 conversion. It was her car as well I just spent the money to get it to where it was at sigh. Oh well on to the next one.

I was going to but in order for me to drive comfortable in the car i would have to put the seat all the way back believe me I tried to take it, but then I realized that the car was going to be for my fiance so I said never mind lol. We also have a 5 year old so it wasn't a very good idea

The ac kept going out I had a humming noise that was coming from the rear passenger side that Honda said it was the tires but i went through 3 sets of tires and they kept telling me the same thing, tranny wasn't shifting smoothly any more they told me I would need a new one and that I needed both axles and I also had a short that came from a shop trying to install my fog lights. The good thing is that Honda never test drove the car lol

I was very disappointed too mainly because my brother has an 11 year old prelude that is still running like a champ I had high hopes that mine would be performing at the same level once it went over 150k like his is at right now. Oh well I guess I shouldn't have left Toyota in the first place lol. I have an 03 tundra 4WD thats about to hit 84k miles and for as much abuse that I have put it through it has never let me down and never caused any problems like the Honda caused. I<3'ed my Honda though every where I went I'd get people staring at it, now it's time to start a new project. On to the next one, any one know where I can pick up a visor for the rear window???

Well after a 20 minute search on craigslist I came up on a new TRD strut bar for 180 shipped I got it today and it fits perfect lol and to top it all of he gave me a free cabin filter that he is going to start producing for our tc2's as well as air filters.
