What cars are comparable to the tC?
I'm just curious to know which cars out there are directly comparable to the tC, and what cars did everyone look at before deciding on the tC? What swayed your decision to buy the tC?

I personally decided on the tc the minute I learned about it...combination of looks, toyota dependability and cost.

Its not the fastest, not the most beautiful, not the cheapest, not the most expensive, etc, etc.
However, in its particular price class, i really dont think this car can be beat with looks, performance and realiability all wrapped up in one car.

i have 2 disagree with u on that...i think that the sleak design of the tc looks a lot better then the pointy design of lets say the rsx...personally for 16,000....i mean u can buy a bodykit and turbo for it and spend like 7,000 for it...u will have the best looking car on the list...and definitly the fastest...and basically spend less then u would on a si or a type S RSX....
..tc r made to b moded thats why there so cheap....
...thats just my oponion

Honestly, I think only the 05 tc had a competitor and that was against an 05 si. Granted there are some serious differences but currently owning an 06 tc and having driven my gf's 02 si for the past 4 years, I'd say that is the only car I'd considered getting instead.
si has (in my opinion)
better handling, response and feel.
it also has more trunk space(duh, its a true hatch) and a cool, but subjective dash
While not as quick, the Tc is faster in a straght line. has more leg room in the back set and has a much better driver seat adjustability. Again on this car the dash is cool, but poor placement/size of the tach. these are definitely not all aspects but just some that no one has really touched on yet,.

Acura TSX or BMW 325!
Haha... I'm not joking. I narrowed it down to a car in a few price ranges. The tC was the best in the 20k range, TSX was my choice for the 26k range, and the 325 was in my 32k.
I decided to go cheap for my first car and when I get paid more then I'll get my bimmer.

Chevy Cobalt SS 2.4l
Starts at $17490 but you can problably get it cheaper with GM discounts/rebates or haggling. Has more hp and rated better gas mileage than the tC.
There's also the Saturn Ion 3 with performance packgage and you'll get the same ecotech 2.4l engine
