I saw it one night after work and was into the dealership before work the next morning, drove it just six blocks and bought it!

the car has alot of good handling and has a nice takeoff without having any Performance parts. I think the interior is alright but the seats could be a little better.

I've only had this car for 3 days, but so far it has lived up to expectations (which were high). This was an excellent compromise between my wife and I. I wanted a true sports car, while she wanted a more understated sedan.

Great Value / Fun to Drive / Minor Flaws

The tC is really fun to drive. I bought it based on the Low Price & Toyota's Quality. It has plenty of power & the handling is excellent. I found myself wanting a 6th gear since it tachs 3K at 65. Also, 1st gear is very short causing you to shift almost immediately to 2nd & overall it’s hard to shift the tC smoothly, but it does have very good acceleration. The tC's exterior is a piece of art & I wouldn't change a thing. The interior layout is great, the gauges are easy to read, & the seats are very comfortable with plenty of adjustments for the driver. The arm rest could be a little longer and ditto about the flimsy radio cover. A great car for $16,500!

This is by far the most fun car I've ever driven. The 160hp is more than ample power to handle everyday driving, not to mention beating Civics off the line. The center console is beautifully designed and well crafted without any dials that clash with the rest of the car, which is also with high quality materials. And with a laundry list of options, and aftermarket tuner parts by TRD and AEM, the fun with this car never stops. My only complaints are the blindspot in the driver side rear window and the gearshift. The shifter is loose. At a quick glance, first gear can look like third gear. A sinxth gear would be nice too. The engine revs a bit high travelling at highway speed.
