    I loved the Scion TC, I was set on buying one... nothing could sway my opinion I thought. I rolled up to the dealer with a down payment in my wallet but I decided to test drive one first because I wanted to atleast act semi-sane when buying my first car on my own.

    I'm glad I did... the one I test drove was one of the more expensive models (20k I think). The acceleration was not as good as my 98 Cavalier Z24 and the steering is very spongey, like it's connected to a rubberband. I took an offramp off the highway going about 75 (something I did in the Cavalier regularly) and I had to fight to keep the thing on the road, it was scary actually.

    I instead bought a used Jetta 1.8Turbo at the recommendation on the Scion sales chick when I complained about the steering. Love it.
