A few people disagree on this, But I like the tC more. The mazda does handle better, but the tC is faster. I don't like the exterior of ethier of the cars...The tC is faster to my experince...The numbers agree with me on this one...However the 3 is not that much slower...I really hate the scions gauges, they are hard to read...the all glass roof of the tc makes me give interior to the scion...The 3 is sorta bland when it comes to styling IMO...Im not sure about the potental of ethier of these cars...All I might know about that is that the scion is the camry motor...Its been around for a while so it might have some potental and parts and stuff...It might not tho, I don't see a lot of 13 second camrys..

Re: Scion tC vs. Mazda 3

the mazda handles better and is built with higher quality materials. The TC is sort of just a scaled down camry and feels too much like an economy car even though it has the power to compare to other sportier coupes and hatches.

I don't like the way the tC drives, it feels like a mini-Lexus. The Mazda 3 feels much more lively and scrappy.
