#125 of 186 tc vs civic by steelrain440 Jan 24, 2007 (5:55 pm)
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)

Replying to: thegraduate (Jan 26, 2007 12:10 pm) sometimes. but not always. Some of the most revered tuners are the ones whose cars look completley stock, with very small visual enhancements like a little bit of chassis lowering and not to flashy but good looking rims. All the work goes into the engine and drivetrain. Hence the 'tuning' aspect of it. Anyone can paint a car a silly color or put a awful muffler on it. (don't get me started on neon lights.)
#130 of 186 Which one is cheaper? by slerp Apr 27, 2007 (12:33 pm)
I am looking into purchasing one of these. I love both of them but I am constricted by a $15,000 max budget. Would I be able to get either a civic LX coupe or scion tc (looking for auto) for that price? If not which one would I be able to get for less? Thanks Replies to this message: thegraduate (Apr 27, 2007 4:28 pm) kenlw (Apr 27, 2007 6:12 pm) eldaino (Apr 30, 2007 6:27 am)
