re: #97 WindUpBird
The Scion is not a bad ride, but it’s sort of underpowered. I guess the bigger engine in the Toyota Matrix has some pep to it? I drive a lot for fun, and I go on road trips, whatever I buy will generally handle well and be fast. 8-)
Scions are marketed toward college-age kids. They are not really made for long trips. The Tc with a 5-speed transmission is a fun little car. I don’t care for the others though. I never cared for the box shaped car designs.
