Getting a new car.. Options

[cnelson]

Ok, before anyone says anything i WILL BE KEEPING the celi. However i'm probably going away for college and my parents want me to have a newer car so stuff is less likely to go wrong. I'm not sure how much i can spend but i think between 10k, to 13ish.

I've really been thinking about two cars..

2005/2006 Scion TC

Pros;
-i love this car, body style everything
-made by toyota
-from what i understand TONS of aftermarket?

Cons;
they seem to be really popular
maybe a little pricey?

2004/2005/2006 Acura RSX

Pros;
-love the body style
-acura's are good cars
-a good ammount of aftermarket?

Cons;
-probably more exspensive
-harder to find (around me at least)


Anyone have any other cars?

I really love the scion tc. I've liked that car since it came out, but as much research i do on it, can't find out about the aftermarket really?

definitely TC - the RSX is going to be alot more expensive than a used tC.

I love the RSX over the tC because there not everywhere but I would definitely take a toyota over a acura

in my area is almost the total opposite, there are a lot of tC's but God there more than enough RSX's is like every other kid has one, and the few kids that don't have one have the RSX's engine on their civics lol

tC anyday, the only thing I'm kind of disappointed about the tC is that the interior is not as nice as we have it on our celis, the interior of the tC feels cheap compare to my 6th gen. but anything else is nice.

I was close to buy one for 16300 2 years ago, but luckly I found my dreamed car, so the tC had to wait
