1. The standard stereo sucks compared to iPod Connection one.

2. tC's get better attention with Generation Y than a xA. When owning a xA; "Baby Boomers" seems to be the only ones staring. lol

3. More power = means more driving laws to be broken in the near future....

4. Owning tC; reminds me of my old '95 Ford Probe days. Back to driving on my a$$ lol

5. I love my tC more than I did with the xA

haha, you can have mine. it gets kind of annoying having that thing down there all the time when you turn the lights on. probably gonna take mine out if i can figure out how to grab the bulb.
Reach around the right side (passenger side) of the center console and you can fell the light from there. Or, do it the hard way and take your shift housing and radio housing off. My opinion: Go the easy way....takes 5 minutes.
I was thinking about now putting a blue light to match my interior lighting but i think i like it being dark inside the little cubby. :-)

- That xB drivers automatically hate on you.
- All Civics want to race you.
-The doors are alot heavier then most coupes.
- You can't accelerate past 4 thousand RPM without screeching on a wet road on stock tires.

Hate that light. Hate that it won't dim with the rest of the panel. If it dimmed I'd like it. I hate that light.

I knew about most all of the oddball storage spots and other interior things before I bought it. Thanks to researching the pi$$ out of it and making the salesman look like a fool ( since they didn't know the first thing about the car ).

I didn't know until after...

That it has a good crash test rating.
That it has more interior room than a Volvo S40 ( which is a 4 door ).

Oh and that everyone seems to feel as though the stock Bridgestone's suck. I've got 48,000 miles on mine and I do drive aggressively ( I live in Atlanta ).

It's only if you got the extra ipod option,.I dont have an ipod so i found it pointless (since you already have an mp3 player in the car already anyways.)

found out yesturday and while i was at the dealership i was choosing a flint mica TC to purchase tomorrow but i noticed that the side skirts of the OEM lip kit has a purple tint to it while the color maintains the flint mica color. odd but did anyone ever come across the fact that some of their parts have a different shade of color from the whole car itself?
