honda accord or scion tc?

my mom either wants to buy me a scion tc or honda accord as my first car

im getting my licence in 2 months and i was either thinking of a brand new 07 black scion tc stick, or a 03-05 Honda Accord coupe v6 6speed. they're around the same price of 16-17k


what would YOU choose and why

Yeah, actually, while I normally find it funny when people suggest things that weren't even an option to choose from, a used WRX would be one to consider.

I owned a tC as my 'first' car (that I paid for). It was great car. Rode nice, was fairly peppy in stock form, has good mileage.

Of course I modded it. Springs, full exhaust, supercharger, CF hood, silver aluminum grille, custom tail light tints, etc. It was sexy, quick, and a blast on the streets.





For a very first car, you can't beat it. Even though the Evo is better in pretty much every category, I still miss that car. I kinda wish I hadn't traded it for the Evo and kept it as a daily.

Hit up http://www.ystc.org/forums for solid info about'em. Stay away from Scionlife.
