so if i ever sell the srt4! im getting a new car… right now im stuck between two cars: i want performance to an extent( i realize both cars are slow) but im more looking for reliability comfort and handling. thanks for any and all input Scion tc: 161 hp fwd pic(07 tc) ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u160/rootk13/1914061755_28133dbcd9_o.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u160/rootk13/1914061755_28133dbcd9_o.jpg) the new tc has a few different parts but nothing major my g/f has a tc and i like it its a nice smooth ride but i think awd would be nice just not sure on the look yet and subaru 2.5i 5 door 170 hp awd ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u160/rootk13/08hatch_front.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u160/rootk13/08hatch_front.jpg) has anyone driven one of these or seen one in person? thanks again! ---

They’re both nice cars, but wrong wheel drive sucks. Subaru by a mile. ---

I test drove the new WRX. You’re looking at a difference in performance when it comes to WRX VS. Impreza so I cannot compare apples to oranges but I will say the interior is average, handling is great, AWD… definitely cant go wrong there. I’d say for what you’re looking for, Impreza over TC. ---

The Impreza will be infinitely more practical. The tC well… it’s FWD, and not as practical unless fuel mileage is a big thing. ---

My buddy down here on teh island just picked up a new impreza 5 door. the thing is great. very nice interior. very smooth ride. it can get out its own way too unlike the tc’s that i have driven. my vote is for the subaru. ---

Go for the tC they are really nice cars. i’ve test driven standard, and auto… good response at the wheel, and the it goes soon as you hit the peddel. ---

well i think suby is 20-27mpg and tc is 21-28 so its too close to tell… with mpg and as far as driving the tc i have done that more than once… i drive my girls all the time… im just curious if all the interiors on the imprezas are white/gray two tone? cause that sounds like it would get stained if mud or some bs gets on it… ---

i think the scooby over the TC…TCs are nice…but you are gonna want the AWD plus the lil extra pull you can also get a new GTI! those are pretty reliable plus have 200hp and pretty comfy or a Audi a4…but then we have to stop thinking about reliability ---
