I love both cars for different reasons. . . you need to reflect on which car appeals to YOU more. Buying a car based on other people's opinions is a bad idea, IMO. The person who will be driving it is you, not us. I do understand you are looking for more insight, but you got the basics down.
Now that I lectured you about other people's opinons, I will provide you with mine
. I really like how rare the xA is. . . in fact, I kinda get mad when I see them on the road. I love it when people run up and ask questions about what it is, who makes it, blah blah blah. It really makes an impression. . . partly because it is so weird, which is good and bad. The tC is very sweet, just in a different way. I've had super nice cars before, but even a car like a Lexus will blend into the background. I got the xA to be different ( I would have gotten a box, but it was a little too different, although I kinda really want one now to complement the xA ). The tC is a great all around car. I love it too. In fact, if I wanted a coupe (I needed 4 doors), I would have bought one without a doubt.

I voted xA RS1.0 for the same reasons that I bought one. I was really into the tC. It is what turned me onto Scion. I never would have thought of me oxning an xA. But when it came down to actually buying my next car, all of reality took its course. The tC was a bit out of my price range, and not comfortable enough for the day to day ingress/egress that I needed in my daily commuter. The xA was in my price range, and since I already owned two coupes, my third car made sense to be a five door. Then the exclusiveness came up. I wanted something that would stand out. Red was perfect for this, (although Yellow would have been just a little better) and the limited production run was great too. Having what I believe to be a realatively low number (0194) is great!
Another point on being exclusive... Yesterday I was driving in downtown Boston. I was at a red light when I noticed a Porsce next to me, then I looked in my rearview and right behind this Porsce was another one! I do believe it was the same model too... So there were two Porsce vehicles right next to each other, a handful of Mercedes and BMW, but only one Scion xA within one city block...! I like those kind of numbers.
:D
