I have a 08 tC, and I'm thinking about up grading myself to a 13 tC.
I know the 1G had a problem with oil consumption, have they corrected the problem in a 13?
Are there any other Pros or Cons in a 13?

Thanks for your help.

Toyota's consumption recall was limited to 07, 08 and 09. I think the only 2013 recall involves TRD brake kits.

Manual tC2's have input shaft issues. Not a big deal but heads up

I've never heard of second generation tCs burning oil. For what it's worth, mine is a 2011 with 245,000km and doesn't burn a drop.

Must be nice. The first generation not only has small oil return holes, the oil rings are one piece instead of three.

That makes me very glad I got a second generation.

Yep, stay with an auto if you want awesome reliability. I stayed away from the 6-speed manual because of all the issues people were having with whine and grind. And I really wanted a 6 speed...my 05 only have 5 and could have really used that long 6th.

It's actually not that long. The first 5 gears are shorter than the 5-speed and 6th gear is pretty tight off of 5th. It might go a couple of mph faster than the automatic.
