It also has dealer-installed supercharger option that brings HP up to about 200.

i drove the tc and wasn't really impressed. i liked it cause it wasn't very popular yet, but now they are growing. i'm a big fan of the exterior styling, but the interior looked really cheap to me. also, the salesman that rode with me told me i could drive it like i wanted to...so i did, and walked away with mild impressions. there didn't seem to be enough torque and the shifts seemed long. just my $0.02.

oh! the cool thing was it has reclineable rear seats.

the TDR supercharger isnt really cost-effective. could get much more car for the price. also like 4 doors. i do have a life that depends on my moving some stuff occsionally =) havnt gotten to drive/ride in one yet, so i cant comment on the feel. i have no regrets about the RA

My friend owns a TC. In my opinion it is an okay car. The Tc isnt wow but for its price its okay. The bad things about this car is that when you sit in the back there is no cushon for your butt. The cars interior does look cheap and is cheap. And i really wouldnt want a car with a aluminum frame. The good thing about a TC is companies are already starting to make tons of parts for this car. Ive seen about 6 of them where i live versus about 1 RA.

In all honesty, I would have chosen the Tc over the ralliart for a few different reasons. 1) its a toyota, toyotas hold their value VERY well 2) Dealer installed options are pretty nice 3) more fashionable layout

But im still happy with that i got

I like the plethora of factory-installed performance options for the Tc. You can get intakes, rims, springs, body kits, everything right from the dealer. Sure, they mark it up, but what dealer doesn't. And it sure beats the accessories we're offered from Mitsu.

Also, the sound dampening they added to the Tc gives it an edge also in the audio department. Damn Mitsu for not helping us out there.

But if I had to make the choice, I'd probably pick the RA. Just a more fun car. It'd be close though.

It's a nice looking car... needs spoiler though for sure. Even though Ralliart interoir is simple, I like ours better. But, I really dig 4-doors, so I'd pass up the tC anyway.
