I'd say compare that car to a Corolla XRS.

Scion TC has 3-doors, -FE (camry economy engine), and no real performance from factory. The car is becoming the new "me too" car and the build quality of a Scion TC feels cheap compared to a real Toyota.

The Corolla XRS has 4 doors, 6 speed 2ZZ-GE engine, some suspension work, 9k redline, it's a fast grocery-getter, daily, and isn't harsh on the gas mileage. It's quite the sleeper. Aftermarket is available if you know where to look, and If you're serious about the car, I know where to get the parts...let me know.



My car , the XRS, is slow, but the Scion TC, is way slower. You won't be happy with it.
