For those that the link doesn't work, try using IE. It doesn't work in FF for me.

Anyway, I don't really see why they are comparing those two cars, they are in completely different categories. It's interesting how the Impreza has a larger and slightly more powerful engine + AWD but still manages to get the same gas mileage as the tC.

I predict you'll see a lot of chicks in the 08 Impreza too...

Two different cars IMO but their target markets do cross over each other. I think the 16-20 year girls will like the TC better. Oh and those little future K Fed ricers seem to really like them also.

impreza will be faster at low speeds, corners, and wet/loose conditions. TC will probably be more comfortable with a sunroof and other amenities.

i'd rather have the impreza.


both have enough power to drive around with.
both have altezza taillights.
both have reasonable gas milage.
both have some room for passengers but not enough for comfortable rear passengers.
the four doors on the 2.5i are nice...
w/ the tc you do get projectors though.

Meh, I'd take a TC over a 08 2.5i....I've driven FWD in bad weather conditions for years without a problem...

The TC handles better. The TC motor can handle boost and has a optional supercharger. There is more room surprisingly. 2 door. Doesnt look like a Corrola...

I'd take a WRX on the other hand....

Let us just admit that the 08's should not be allowed on Nasioc.

I hate tc's around here, all of them seem to think they are the fastest car on the road, and they are the new civics they always get riced out. Not to mention I always see idiots trying to debadge their trunk and they end up leaving holes + dents...
