i would go with the GTi hands down.What kind of gas mileage do you get with your Infinity 2006 G35X.?
performance: the GTi come with a turbo, the tC offers (or will offer) a turbo kit as a performance upgrade. the VW is a 2.0l turbo 4cyl while the tC has a 2.4l 4cyl
GTi - 200hp
tC - 161hp
reliability is probably going to lean more towards the tC, since it is a Toyota after all. But, my VW has been very reliable for the most part, and VWs have a better bumper to bumper warranty.
GTi - 4 year / 50,000 mile warranty (bumper to bumper)
tC - 3 year / 36,000 mile warranty (bumper to bumper)
both have a 5 year / 60,000 mile power train warranty, but the VW comes with 4 years of roadside assistance included in the price!
Looks are really a personal preference, they both have a more rounded type of Japanese-ish styling, but the GTi still retains some Euro look to it. i like the styling of the GTi, it has that typical Volkswagen look and feel...the tC has more of a generic Japanese look. the quality of interior parts in the volkswagen is far superior to any japanese vehicle (other than say Lexus or Infiniti, but that's apples to oranges), and since that's what i'm looking at and touching the whole time i'm driving, i'd rather have less of the plastic look and feel.
How can i remove the headrest of my chevy cobalt ls coup?
Handling would probably lean more towards the tC, it's a little bit lighter (about 300 lbs) and a little bit lower to the ground (about 1/2 an inch). Volkswagen has always made a big deal about how well their sporty vehicles perform and handle, so i would take a guess and say the suspension on the GTi is probably more suited for spirited driving from stock.
What's a "sexier" car - the Honda Civic (sedan) or Mazda 3?
i'm a big Volkswagen fan, so it's no suprise that i'd pick the GTi over the tC, but i worked for Toyota when the tC came out and i have been very impressed with the reliability and styling of it since day one.
Neither of those cars can fit your description. Unless you like ugly,slow,poor handling unreliable cars.
Want to rebuilt cars old school cars /customize?
scion tc hands down. the japs build a way better car than vw does these days. vw are less dependable and cost more. if you dont believe me check out consumer reports.I have a 1994 Ford Explorer and I seem to be having an issue with the key ignition cylinder.?
You can make the tC faster, handle better, brake better, etc. but no ammount of aftermarket support will give the GTi the style that the Scion tC naturally has.I say go with the tC. It has more aftermarket support, and looks better out of the gate. Not to mention WAY better reliabilty.
Is the 4L60E tranny stronger in different GM vehicles?
performance-gti2006 Scion TC Sport Coupe 0-60= 6.9 1/4 mile=15.1
2006 Volkswagen GTI 0-60=6.5 1/4 mile=14.5
reliability-hands down scion... vw quality is garbage (theyve owned the 3 lowest spots on reliability with jd power for the last 7 consecutive years) toyota is the leader, and the way things are looking, it will always be the leader.
looks-vw. They make great looking vehicles. The scion looks like it has the 'ground clearance' of a hummer!
handling-
2006 VW GTI-
64/36 weight distribution
weight-3308lbs
Standard Traction control and vehicle stability
Quaife LSD
Has anyone had any problems with their toyota prius?
2006 Scion TC-
61/39 weight distribution
Weight-2905lbs
No traction control offered
No LSD
Will the parts of a automatic bmw fit on a manual?
The conclusion-the vw gti owns handling!
Id personally choose neither. The vw handles well and has good performance, but the reliability issue would prevent me from even considering it. The Scion is much more reliable, but the car has a much too high roof line and the ground clearance is ridiculous.
I would go with the GTi, It comes stock with turbo..but as far as your description I would go with a bmw.
