Scion or ralliart

STOP KNOCKING CARS IF YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THEM. i've done research. the tC is a good car. if you don't feel it is as great as the ralliart, thats fine, but its your opinion.

spoolinup ----and a Rally Art isn't? I see more girls than guys driving regular Lancers, but that's another topic. I say go TC. I like their look better and they have a lot of good products out for them for someone who is looking to get into aftermarket stuff with them. Please don't post back saying that the TC sucks because the question was which car would you get so if you don't agree with me good for you but I don't want to hear it <-----well thats not gonna happen buddy you'll hear it from quite a few people here.
first off you see more girls than guys driving regular lancers..i havent seen any girls driving the ralli//art.. i know we have one ralliart owner thats a girl here in evoM..but anyway i dont care ne more..say what you guys want..but id take the ralliart anyday over the TC..performance wise and looks.

go with the R/A. the tc is a nice car to the normal consumer, but as for performance and dealer options and looks, the R/A takes it all. the tc is still going to be a scion. it was fun to drive, but i had a lot more fun driving the R/A. plus the R/A has mivec which is a plus, and my lancer is great, i drive the **** out of it and it still holds up. id say stick with mitsu.
I know this is a little late but I will put my two cents in. I was going to buy a tC also but ended up with a ralliart, and am much happier, I think it shifts better, accelerates better and rides better than a tC. The tC for 16495 is a great car don't get me wrong but try having a buddy who is taller than 5'3" and weighs more than 130 lbs get out of the back seat. I will also say I just got my ralliart wed night, I got on 04 that was still new and paid less than a tC for it. I love the car rides great has nice power and a much better warranty.

I don't like to compare 4 doors to a 2 doors car, but IMO..
if you don't usually have people sit in the back, then get tC
or
if you don't plan to sell the car later get RALLIART,
well just an opinion for myself...

Thought you guys my like to see this. This is the stage three kit my company will be offering in the near future for the Scion tC. This is not the final tuned state of the kit, as it is running a little on the lean side. Tuning will resume on Jan 4.

i just had a new idea. the thing about my car that bugs me is that its an automatic. what if i were to sell my car and then buy another 02' or 03' lancer and then spend the 8-9,000 dollars over the scion and invest that in a RRM turbo charger. just a new idea because i hate the idea of giving up the lancer
