I'm glad I sold my tc. For 2000 cdn more you can buy a civic si that blows the doors off the tc in every single category. Nicer interior, more features, more power and better handling.
This abhorrently atrocious pile of refuse needs to die. The most indefensible car in the fleet. 23MPG city and 179HP from a 2.5 is just a sick joke. You have to be a true enemy of all humanity to actually buy one of these!!
