:word: you could have a WRX or Mustang GT for the price of a type S. even the 350Z and RX8 are pretty close in price. its a much better car than the tC but at the cost of $8k more out of your pocket. the tC would be a competitor for the civic, mazda 3, focus, cobalt, neon ect. your comparing apples to oranges. so the question is how much you wanna spend and what are your goals.

A wrx is more expensive than a type s but if I wanted to pay the insurance on a mustang, I would have gotten an 89 5.0 by now. I’m mainly going for a type s because I want a new car that looks good and is a decent performer stock. If I feel like it I’ll mod it in a while but not now. 🙂

RSX-S stock will walk the tC. I still want to see a regular 5spd RSX play with a scion.

“The supercharger may not be sold/purchased at the same time as the new vehicle and may not be financed together with the new vehicle.”

That’s funny, when a new RAV4 romps an RSX-S in the 1/4

lol

Maybe not romps, but 270HP in a freakin like 3600 lbs are still good for 14 second passes.

hahahaha. yours doesnt have 16 miles on it with no previous owners.

and it seems kind of odd for you to sell it after one year of use and to be trying so hard to get rid of it :snky:

This is my fourth car in 1 1/2 years

5 speed with the ground effects, lip spoiler, and tyc rear lights

I was gonna get a security system for an insurance discount but I decided to get VIN etching instead because the guy said I’d get an insurance discount of like 5% to 20%. Then today I find out I’ll only get $4 off. That makes me kind of angry.
