2008 Tc

[Buddy5791]

So im new here i joined because i was thinking about buying a new 2008 TC and i was thinking i should probally talk to some owners


whats your favorite thing about the TC and least favorite and how hard is it to work on your self like oil changes and small mods like exhaust and intake

thanks

The gas mileage is good, the dependability is good, and working with the vehicle is much simpler than other vehicles I have worked on. Exhaust, intake mods you can do on your own with a good deal of ease.

Least favorite? Its a FF car that weighs nearly 3000 pounds with no LSD, which makes it, stock, a very unlikely candidate for Auto-x type racing. But that's in a performance environment.

For the price, it's hard to find a car as reliable and as solid as the tC.

You'll be hard pressed to find people truly complaining about the car. My favorite aspect about the car would probably have to be its versatility. I've loaded it up with my roommate and some gear and gone on road trips. It can fit an 8' ladder. I've even managed to fit 2 suitcases, a full size string bass, and a full size futon mattress inside without issue. And none of that changed how comfortable or fun it was to drive. Any quick search will reveal that the car's a breeze to modify to your tastes.

The only complaint I can honestly offer is that if you open the rear hatch while there's snow on top, be present to clean some out of your trunk. It seems rather trivial compared to some of the issues I've seen friends have with their cars.

I love my 2007 model and would never ever buy a 2008.

bang for the buck: at $17K you get a lot - comfortable ride, great sound system, high safety, good performance!

it is truly a customizable toy: look around here and other sites for tC pics! so many different ways to mkae it your own. personalization in every sense of the word.

dependable daily driver: when i left grad school i was able to pack almost everything in the tC -and make the 600 mile trip - easily! and toyota's reputation for safety is second to none!

since july 06 i've put +40K miles on it and i've changed my own oil every 3K since the first 3 free ones. the tC still runs strong!

if i have anything negative to say, the clutch pedal travel is very long in my opinion. the shifter travel (especially to 2nd and 3rd gear) is very long as well. i've grinded the hell out of my 2nd and 3rd gears!

but i recommend a tC to everyone considering buying a new car! you'll love it! i hope we are swaying you
