Just got back from driving both cause my friend is interested in getting a new car. The new civic is nice...but the Scion is 100 times better in every category. It's better looking, more fun, feels a bit quicker. The interior on both are about equal.

 

They both look like little pimples.

 

yeah...I don't see that

 

scion tC > civic LX/EX

SI > tC

 

The Si's aren't out yet so obviously we didn't get to test drive one of those. The dealership is going to give my friend a call when they get them in. But he'll prolly get the tC.

 

the tC is nice

 

I'd take the civic over the TC. The TC is blah to me even though the civic isn't that much of a looker either :dunno:

 

The Civic's A-piller (the part between the windshield and the drivers side window. I think it's the A piller :dunno: ) was always in my way and was way too big. I felt like I kept having to look around it. I didn't have that problem in the tC (or in my STi).

 

but the scion tc is kind of like toyota's equivalent to honda (acura's) rsx. compare those?

 

tc drives pretty nice. took out my friends, and during regular driving it feels pretty soft, but when you put it in some turns the car just feels totally different. it really shocked me. i guess its time to test drive the new civic
