Fortunately, my part of the world encompasses the wonderful hilly back roads behind Mosport International raceway – where you don't have to exceed the speed limit to enjoy a spectacular drive.
The tC's suspension setup – MacPherson struts up front, double wishbone out back and sway bars – result in a ride that's on the firm side. It does transmit a bit of crashing over rough pavement, but on the plus side, there's no loss of composure and the tC feels really solid. That fat wheel feels great in the hands, but there could be more feedback. The electric power steering does deliver a good, on-centre feel and isn't overly boosted, nor is it too heavy.
The tC is an interesting little car. It doesn't quite live up to its sporty aspirations, as there are several on the market that out-handle and out-perform it, but it's a surprisingly nice little daily driver with a decent base price of $20,850.
