Replying to: mackabee (Jul 29, 2007 7:40 pm) I'm driving Acura RSX'03 base auto, with 110K miles on it already. Test-drove tC'08 base auto. Impressions, in comparison to RSX: - low-end torque is there for sure; - at higher RPM, engine felt like losing steam a bit; - steering felt too light, with uncertain on-center feel; - suspension felt softy, so handling wasn't really good. I'm curious, what Scion/TRD mods would have improved steering and, most important, "stiffen up" suspension and improve handling. thanks in advance - vickat |

According to the September issue of Motor Trend, the tC will now have Stability/traction control for '08. Anyone know if this is true?  Sometimes MT can be off the mark with new specs. Thanx... Peace<-AladdinSane--

Replying to: mackabee (Aug 03, 2007 10:42 am) Thanx for the reply... I knew it! They're also off about vsc/trac on other models too in this particular September issue concerning 2008 vehicles with what's new to expect. Oh well...maybe it's wishful thinking on their part. Bummer-  Peace!<-AladdinSane--

I was reading in the "Problems & Solutions" section about a missing problem at highway speeds. Someone also posed to possibility of a "lean surge". I am experiencing the same thing but it is really bad and in every gear. I have had the regional Toyota tech look at the car and he said it was a change in the feedback for the fuel system that happens around 15% throttle, and that there was nothing that could be done at this time. There needs to be an ECU program change. Does anyone know if there are any ECU updates for the 2005 Tc? Thanks.

Im getting ready to buy my first car in January. Im currently driving a Mazda 626 97', which isn't really that bad. It was fully loaded when my parents got it, then after they tore it up for about 8 yrs gave it to me. Its not gonna last much longer. I want something that will be reliable, somewhat speedy, attractive, as well as have a ton of features. Gas milage isn't a real concern for me. So I've narrowed it down to these three but a 07' Colbat might also be option. Any of ya'll experienced advice would be much appreciated. Oh, and I'm trying to stay under 20k.
