Eh, still not feeling them. I don't know what it is exactly about these cars that I just can't bring myself to like, but I just don't like them.

Yeah but the proportion of hot girls to average girls driving tCs is way better than any VW or Del Sol.

They can be made pretty nice looking, but the chassis offers no driving involvement at all, so I'll stick with the ubiquitous Civic.

One of my room mates wants one really badly. I can't talk him out of it. Took him along for the ride when I test drove a couple '01-'02 IS300s and still couldn't change his mind. But whatever... it's his $, his choice.

Eh... Not too bad, but when I test drove a new one, the weight balance felt like 95/5 and the shifter felt like a stick in semi-wet rocky cement.

Everything else was nice, tho.

yeah the tc doesnt compare to most hondas. the tC isnt a driver's car.

I never cared for the last gen corrola until I saw a clean one like this...




i just realized all the nice tCs above are on Works (emotion, vs-xx, xsa-02c, and euroline).

sure, but 2 of them have aftermarket lip kits.
sorry bro, but there's no JDM parts to blang up tCs like Hondas have

99% of tC body kits are ricey as hell because no respected company (JDM) makes one. show me a non japanese body kit on a Honda that the majority of HT likes (excluding those modelled after JDM kits like Wing West's EF mugen styled kit). last i heard full body kits were so 1990's, unless you got something clean from Vertex, Walker, etc.

i think people who own FG coupes (not SI, not sedan) and EM2s are in a similar situation as tC owners. they dont have the same level of aftermarket support (no JDM) as EF/EG/EK/DCs. at least the FG2 SI coupe's K20, LSD, & 6spd make up for the shitty aftermarket.

speaking of JDM, I always thought it was strange that ARC made an intake for the tC. $500 for an aluminum box with 2 panel filters (there's no piping). now thats JDM LOL.

I mean, the Corolla looks nice, but there are just things..

Roof rack, do they really use it? And it's funny how people will do stuff like different fabric in a Escalade, and it is taken as some stupid Bling Bling bullshit, yet you do it in his style, therefore making it ironic, it is cool. Kinda like kids from Beverly Hills wearing a Dr. Dre Chronic t shirt.
