tC & the XRS

tC & the XRS
Other forums have the opinion that the Corolla XRS's engine doesn't have enuff torque and here opinions are that the tC dosn't have enuff hp. Almost seems like scion peeps would like the Corolla XRS and the Toy peeps would prefer the tC. Of course this is without the SC on the tC. Interesting, eh?
Corolla XRS/2ZZGE 170HP 127 FT-LBS
tC/2AZFE NA 160HP 163 FT-LBS
Edit: Added corolla in front of XRS to specify that I was talk'n about the new corolla XRS and not the Matrix XRS.

Because of the torque I'd get a tC in a heart beat. The engine will be faster to 60 and last longer. Also the tC is far cooler look'n and with more standard features. Unfortunately I can't get pass the glass roof. Sun roofs and the equivalent are just not me. Prolly haggle a dealer for a cheaper GT-S or go with the Corolla XRS. *shrug*

I'm going to wait until I drive the tC before I say anything....I thought the xB wouldn't have enough hp based on the specs, and once I drove it I was sold.
I'm not going to make the mistake of jumping to conclusions again!

yeah XRS is fun to drive. the surge is awesome when you floor it. and the revving engine kind of makes you feel like stepping on it all the time. but its missing torque.
(this is speaking of one without mods)
if only the Tc offer leather and AWD add say extra 10 - 20 torque, i would not mind
the weight and i will definetly buy the Tc no question. even if it is to cost 20000 - 22000 without SC.
I guess the AWD only matter if you live in a place where there is lots of snow,
just hate it when all those car with AWD just drive through the snow with
no problem.
I just want tC to have:
leather
heated seat
telescoping steering
AWD
10 - 20 extra torque
xenon lights
that would be perfect.....
if they do that. i am telling you, no one will buy TSX or RSX or mazda 3
and might even substitute WRX for tC.
love the trunk space in XRS and have helped me so many occasion
to carry stuff around. open it, the trunk, load the stuff and close it.
simple and easy. unlike most hatch back which are little too long.
Dear toyota,
can you please make tC like that.
wishful buyer.

yeah the awd will defintely make the car heavier and will cause
some lost in power, that is why I would like the extra 20 torque
if it have all wheel drive.
cool, if the leather is offered that would make the car feels a bit
nicer inside. I am not big fan of leather but it does make the car feel
nicer.
the telescoping will solve the problem with people who feel that the
steering is too far away from the seat.

I apologise for not make'n it clear that I was talk'n about Corolla XRS's and not the Matrix XRS. :oops: Just the same, thanks ikonXone and wit for all the good info and opinions on the Matrix XRS. I've always been curious about it.

Ummm, I know what ur say'n ikonXone but, there are quite a few differences between the Corolla XRS and the Matrix XRS and I don't just mean body style. The Corolla XRS's engine will deliver a broader and stronger mid-range torque than the previous versions of the 2ZZ engine featured in the Matrix XRS and the Celica GT-S. The corolla also will have a front connecting rod damper, a rigid steering column, a power steering rack, and increased rate coil springs and shocks on all four wheels (Matrix XRS had a twist-beam type rear axle). The Corolla XRS should be quicker and handle far better. :D
