Replying to: nauticascion (Jan 16, 2007 12:47 pm) Sounds like you made the right decision for you. We're obviously getting nowhere with each other (and I mean that respectfully).   Although i must comment on the seats, and on the visibility. You state that visibility is bad with the spoiler - since it isn't standard equipment, I don't hold that point to be true.   As for the seats, firm seats (sculpted correctly, and the Civic's are for my large frame, surprisingly) will support you much better than soft ones on long trips. They may seem too hard to some ( I can understand that ), but will definitely be better over the long haul.

Replying to: nauticascion (Jan 16, 2007 8:00 am) what level of trim was your 2000? 2 door? 4 door? Si, LX, DX, HX, CX??   also the old civic 96-2000 wasn't that great for headlights. The tC is MUCH better! I do agree the Civic was bad for lighting.   the seats in the 96-2000 civic weren't that great, they didn't have a spring suspension to the cushions. Just foam and then the seat frame, that's it! So yes they didn't have much "give" making them feel hard. Seats in the tC have that spring suspension and feel much better!

In my opinion the tc has the civic beat by a long shot for looks. I own a 07 TC and my friend recently bought a 07 civic si and installed a turbo. We both agree that he would have been better off with the tc. the civic had no room under the hood for mods. He had to remove the frond bumper support to fit the intercooler. And it costs a lot less to get more horsepower for the tc Replies to this message: thegraduate (Jan 25, 2007 9:43 am) eldaino (Jan 26, 2007 11:48 am) thegraduate (Jan 26, 2007 12:10 pm) eldaino (Jan 31, 2007 12:08 pm)

To me, the Civic Coupe looks a lot sleeker and sportier than the Scion's more bulbous and blunt shape. It's all subjective though...The Scion isn't bad looking at all, and I was close to getting one, but the interior left me unimpressed (the flimsy sunroof cover for one thing was particularly pathetic).   And it costs a lot less to get more horsepower for the tc   Well, that's going to happen when you start with an engine that is 33% larger than the standard Civic coupe's. The downside is fuel economy. The Scion's 2.4L gets about 8-10 MPG less than the Civic doesn't it?   It's just a matter of the two cars having slightly different priorities, I think. Both are in fact very excellent cars.

Replying to: steelrain440 (Jan 24, 2007 5:55 pm) well pal thats pretty much the case for any aftermarket turbo! My buddy had to get a custom bumper for his 97 civic because he put a nice big turbo on it. Its common sense you are MODIFIYING the car. You can't expect everything to fit miraculously. The only reason it costs less as far as horsepower goes it only costs less becuase the si is fairly new. A camry engine, even modded, has nothing on a k series.   OH and looks are highly subjective. BUt the tc does look way more mainstream. Replies to this message: thegraduate (Jan 26, 2007 12:10 pm) eldaino (Jan 31, 2007 12:08 pm)
