The Matrix is definitely a possibility, problem is once again Grammy as she test drove an older Matrix but wasn’t a fan, however our plan now is if the Scion falls through, we wanna get Grandma into the new 09 S with the bigger motor and see if she still disapproves, if we can change her mind then we’ll be coming out to see you about a new Matrix Damn old people and their fear of change ---

If your friend buys I’ll throw you $100 your way for bringing her in, and i’ll even give you a $25 gas card JUST FOR COMING IN (even if you don’t buy). Because I know the drive from Rochester is pretty gay. ---

Haha if thats the case maybe we’ll swing by for a test drive this weekend as I’ve been itching to try out the new Matrix, not o mention I just fixed my Mazda’s exhaust and have yet to get a chance to play with her a little on the highway(conservatively and safely of course) ---

Oh one last thing about the tC’s. I don’t know what they come with as far as OEM tires nowadays, but the Yokohamas mine came with were poo. Most horrible tires I have ever had. I don’t know if they would change them out for you, but just so you know they suck. ---

> [@FearBefore128](#): > > Beck the offer is much appreciated but she’s not too hot for the corolla, not to mention if it were me i’d rather have the 2.4L engine over the 1.8L with 4 doors and I’m not so sure we could get the Corolla XRS for a better price than the Scion. Furthermore, we both know how trivial it is but she really wants the interior illumination and the back hatch rather than just a trunk. Though i’ll bring up the matrix with her if you are willing to cut a deal on one of those, considering I am big fan and, alongside the rabbit/GLI are one of the only hatchbacks I personally like. Why do you care about then engine? You will have a slow 4 cylinder with either choice. Go with the smaller and get better fuel economy, this isn’t a race car. Plus 4 doors are way nicer in a daily then 2. You can totally scissor in the back. ---

Hahaha i’ll have to bring that up with my friend and her girlfriend hahaha. Hey i’ve driven both 1.8L VVT-i and the 2.4L VVT-i and there is a very noticeable difference, besides coupes are way better looking and we are vain college students lol. We know its not for racing but that .6L makes a difference when you are playing with it on a safe stretch of highway in good conditions ---

> [@FearBefore128"](#): > > I’m in a hurry so i’ll make this quick. Friend is buying a tC, we wanna haggle for it but we are confused by this pure pricing BS. How much did you pay for your tC and were you able to haggle it down from sticker price. Thx. $16,9 for mine back when…Not sure what the 09s are going for. ---

Corolla felt real cheap, noisey and such. Perfect mod the fruck out of it car if that is what you are looking for. tC felt a bit more refined and better overall. Great mod car if you want to as well. We know quite well. 😉 [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/need-advice-from-scion-tc-owners/60845.md?page=1)
