well ladies and gents l have came to a very tough decision. l do not know which car to buy, is the Civic Sl better? or is the Scion tC better? in stock the Sl is 197hp and the tC is 166hp. but with the supercharger byTRD it could push 200hp. which one is better?does the scion come with the TRD charger stock or is that seperate? l had never owned an Sl before but a lot of ppl say that it is pretty good. so l really do not know, but l do kno that the tC is made by toyota and it has a lot of features. so a little help here guys??? which one is better and why? which one has a lot of problems ? drop me a some knowledge plz. it would be greatly appreciated.

you should get the civic si. it is way better than the scion. the civic has 197 horsepower and the scion only 160. the TRD Supercharger is an option. it does not come standard on the Tc. l am planing on getting myself an 06 Si myself. you will not be sorry by getting the Si.

The S l is going to be a more solid car than the tC. As far as resale, reliability, and future problems, they are going to be pretty much the same. They are both excellent automobiles and with the upgrades you are considering they will be about the same price range. l am a scion owner because l think honda has upped their price too much recently, but if l were you l would just drive them both and pick which one appeals most to you based on style, personal comfort, etc.

i've owned an '06 tC for 13 months now. l luv it. l recommend you test drive both. my previous car was a Civic CX. l do not have the supercharger but it seems to me that if you want more HP and if you are willing to spend more money for that then you may be better off getting a car with it built in already as opposed to attempting to improve on it.

l think u should get the scion because if u want the TRD supercharger, it would up the HP by a lot. u really should test drive both but l recommend the tC. toyota engines r very quiet & l think it would be the same for Scions. the tC has lots of features too. it would be nice too. it comes with a standard panorama roof too. its pretty cool. if u were to test drive l would go to honda first. for the feel of the civic Si then ''Get the Feeling'' for the Scion. l think the scion is cooler with its features too.

Both cars r pretty reliable. But l personally would get a civic S l because although Im not a civic kind of person, the S l is more of a sports car then the TC. Although u could get the TRD supercharger from the dealer for the TC, its probably somewhere around $5000 for that kit which will probably get u up to 200 or a little past. But with a civic u could always buy a comptech supercharger which would be much cheaper then a TRD would be; from the dealer anyway. Comptech is aftermarket by the way. Not only that but the TRD supercharger will get u around 200 when the S l is around 200 stock & comes with a 6-speed manual (TC comes with 5 speed). If u bought the civic si & supercharged that you'd have way more HP then if u bought the TC with the TRD supercharger. The civic & TC have similar features so..but yea, id buy the civic, good gas mileage & its more sporty then the TC. its more sporty in more then just HP, its also got a better suspension, better seats, better brakes, wheels etc. Get the civic.

Scion TC. The tc motors l believe are more punishable, meaning can take a beating. In my 03 Camry ( same motor as TC) 2.4L has plunty of get up. l even raced a turbo civic Si! l lost but l kept up with it.

well the most recent in favor of the Si r the fools if they did not mention the insurance on this vehicle is much higher then the Tc. l sell scions & there resale is better ,but not by much, why not the Subaru wrx sti, if speed & power is what u r after . the insurance rate on the scion a far cheaper. these r the realities, the trd super charger can not be part of the financing. there r also turbos out there if u plan on installing it ur self . now if picking up women is what u want the scion gets the nod, over the Si, however if pud smacking is OK with u like these other wise men that answered whom l will bet get little to no tail , is ur desire by all means get the si. otherwise go for the Tc manual do the trd exhaust , leather &heated seats , tint the windows do the i-pod & add a super charger, u will be happier than u could of imagined.

wow, tough choice-both pretty crappy.

l would go with the Tc just because its lighter wich makes it faster.Also it is made by toyota l have seen an 07si and 07 tc race in a 1/4 mile tc ran15.2 the si ran a 15.9 the tc is a way better car!
