Default So... the important question is this:

Will it hold two golf bags in the hatch?

That's the only thing holding me back (well that and they aren't here yet).

Also wonder if I should get white... might be odd though since my wife has a white G35 coupe

I'm assuming that you're talking about the XB.

Yes. It does hold 2 golf bags in the back hatch. With all seats in upright position, I can lay my bag across the back. I stacked my brother's golf bag on top of mine once when we went golfing with our caddies uhm, er...i mean wives.

A golf 4-some would nearly be impossible without a roof rack. A 2-some is easily accommodated as the rear seats flip down easily to accommodate the bags, shoes, and cooler.

The XB is afterall, a modified golf cart. May I suggest purchasing a full bra when you get yours to defend against rock chips. ($90 shipped from www.autoanything.com)

Nope, was talking about the tC [hence it's in the tC forum].

A buddy has an xB so I know the size in back there

TC is a G35 at $20,000 less...

and golf is not too expensive as people think it is... the lessons cost might add up ...but going to the driving range and hitting some golf course isn't too bad...of course unless u're playing country clubs.

far as gas mileage... the TC is expected to get 22 to 30mpg...but i doubt it'll get 30mpg... it'll be closer to 24 or 25mpg with normal driving.

the xB gets far more MPG ...cuz the EPA rating was 30 city and 34highway when i bought my xB...but in real life..i'm getting about 28mpg (of course having an exhaust and intake kills mpg).

I'm glad to see someone come to their senses. There's so many big, useless SUV's and Trucks out there....guzzling gas and obstructing peoples views. The thing is that most people honestly don't have a need for all that. They could easily get by with an affordable 4 cyclinder car with a back seat that folds down. Plus it looks sportier, handles better, is more fun to drive, AND gets better gas milage.

I think white can look really tight if you keep it clean and tint the rear windows.

Would I personally get a white car?? Hard to say. I live in Chicago, and sometimes I see white cars in the winter with the salt and all the dirty snow sticking to them and they look awful.

With your wife owning a white car, you'd probably know better than I would. If you're in an area with no snow, it might not even be an issue.

My Camry is rated at 21/28 mpg. I just got 32mpg on my last tank. I am hopeful that the tC will get better mileage.

"The tC that we tested guzzled about a gallon of gas every 30 miles, which, based on U.S. Environmental Protection Agency averages for the class" http://info.detnews.com/autosconsume...x.cfm?id=14819

30mpg, that is already better than the predicted 22/29. :D

Yeah her G has (as dark as possible here) Huper Optic tint... and it's the 6spd on the 18's

I live in the Dallas area... it doesn't snow much, but it does get really dusty and the birds are incredible with their aim...

I won't own another black car though ( the pearl black sounds sweet though ). I'm leaning toward the blue, white or the mica...
