2007 accord coupe or 2008 scion tC?
hey guys. so im buying a new car soon. i am deciding between 2007 honda accord coupe LX and 2008 Scion tC. I like both cars Price would be around the same...The tC does have more standard features( moonroof, mp3 cd player, subwoofer, outside temp gauge, turn signals on side mirrors.) These are all things that the accord would not have. I like the accord coupe shape a little better. It has a little more hp and is a lil more roomier inside. what would u guys get? appreicate all the insights.

I would go with the Scion tC. If it was the Honda Accord EX V6, then I would go with the Honda.

I would say get the Scion TC, no questions asked. Yes, I agree with u on that the Accord looks better but the TC still looks cooler. You also said that the Accord has more hp. However, if you get your TC turbocharged, that will easily boost ur hp to 60 to 80 more horses. Anyways the TC has a lot more standard features and it costs a lot less. As for handling, the Scion is lighter so it handles better. Also, even a stock TC will have better performance than an Accord because it is much lighter. All in all the TC is faster and better. The accord is more for people over 50 years old. If ur under 50 get the TC!

The TC gets slightly better gas mileage, and is lighter. I own a 05 accord ex coupe v6 with the 6 speed manual. This car is plenty fast for everyday driving, but not super fast. It also has good handling under normal conditions, but could really use some uprgrades in that and the brake department. Saying that, I LOOOVE my car. It is soo comfortable, has every option I could think of, and beats my buddy's prelude! If you decide to get the TC because it has more options, try looking at an accord EX instead. Mine has leather seats, navigation, steering wheel controls, touch control screen, p moonroof, foglights, etc.
Both cars are made by great manufacturers, so it comes down to looks, options, and handling.
I would still go with the Accord, but the TC is a nice car too.

Peter- I own a 2007 TC- TRD Edition. This was a fairly pricey version of the car, but its what my wife and I wanted. The '07's that are left are going to run you about $16K to obtain. That is just the Manual Transmission one like I have. The Accord is an overpriced vehicle. If you look at the features that come on the Tc Standard, you will see why I wen this route vs. the Honda. There is nothing wrong with either vehicle, just in this case the Tc offers a little more for your money. With the Manual Transmission, you are going to need a little time to get used to the clutch though. And... as for the moonroof, that is standard equipment on all Tc's. You cannot buy one without it. Heck I am 35, and I love my Tc. It was a hard choice between the Honda and the Tc though. But when it came down to the final choice between the two, and the addition of the supercharger, all I have to say, is the Honda took the back seat this time. Just keep in mind, the Tc is equipped like a Rally Car, closer to the Subaru WRX-Ti, Mitsubishi Lancer EVO, and the Hyundai Tiburon GT. Nissan and Honda do not really have anything in this class because they do not compete in road rally races like the Toyota Grand Prix Serices and SCRAMP. Subaru, Mitsu, Toyota, Hyundai, and Mazda all compete in this area. Nissan will be competeing next year if they get the approval for Skyline into the U.S.! Anyhow the 1k to 2k you are going to save on the Tc allows you to get a few more options, and that is precisely what I did. Good Luck!

Get the 2008 Scion tc. I have one too. The Accord might be more roomier then tc. However, tc is less priced and more hip than the Accord.

The Scion will cost less to operate over a 5 year period. But the Accord has better gas mileage and a better green rating of 75 verses the tC which is 64.
GET THE ACCORD.

i had the same dilemma it was 07accord or 07tc but i stuck w/ the accord cuhs i got the v6coupe haha mmm..
Tc- has great options, much lighter, i think gas cunsumption is reasonable for a great low price.
- I was gonna get a '07scion tc w/ FULL ALL OUT options INCLUDING the ground effects kit, and led lights inside interior, and i got $19,700 range.
Accord- I have the v6 coupe window price was $31,000 but i got connections n got it for $27,000 which was freaking sick!!! i love the handle/cornering on my car. The suspensions are great, plus some think the v6 would be 'heavier' but i honestly dotn think so, u can turn the stability assistance off n itll be one of the fastest rices ud take. xD yea.. sorry i have v6 which is alil diff from the lx but dude i think you'd be impressed w/ the accord since the 07 is originated from i think if i heard right... the acura cl??? its tight =]
now decision is up to u!

Someone here paid $27,000 for a HONDA, then he said he has connections, people are sicker than I thought. I can get a 08 Mustang California Special through my Father in Law for $24,000, with my choice of color. He paid $10,000 more dollars for 2 cylinders... LMFAO That's $5000 a cylinder. I paid 16,000 for my 06 TC off the lot...
Half a Corvette for an ACCORD Good Golly, humorous. And he came off like he had brains.

- Anonymous1 decade ago
well....scions in general are advertised more to the generation y...depending on ur age...if your in the generation y go w/ the tc..older than that go w/ the accord.
if age doesn't matter, best VALUE would be the tc for sure :)
price isn't a big deal-->accord
but as for me overall...id choose the tc..i think it looks better :)
Source(s): I have a tC and I'm obsessed w/ it! :)
