Re:Scion tC
Yes it does have a TRD supercharger option for like $3000 but I think thats pretty damn worthless considering its only adding 40hp. If I had the option I'd just turbo the sucker or throw on a shot of nitrous.
Anyhow, I know it weighs like 3100-3200lbs. And yes thats one hell of a pig. It by far is not a performance or sporty car. But this again is for a FEMALE driver. I'd like to get the opinions of those who have driven it and see how it did.
The engine is the 4-cylinder!
Camry engine. In my book Toyota engines are very reliable and good engines...
Planning on test driving one in the near future...

. My gf has one, i like the features and the looks overall, but it was only designed to look good. It has HORRIBLE visibility in every direction from the huge pillars, but is semi-fun to drive otherwise (mainly because the wheel is small and badass)
