Rear Seat and Cargo Area
Agility plays a part in getting to the rear seat of this two door coupe, so my son and his friends don’t have a problem getting in and out. I can do it, but find that leg room is a bit restricted and getting out while dodging the front shoulder belt is a nuisance. Besides, I usually only have one other person with me so the fact that the split back seat folds flat to give me enough space for golf clubs, groceries or the odd light fixture is beyond my son’s comprehension.
Design
Cool starts on the outside and the tC has taken his fancy. The hatchback design is different and stands out amongst all the rest. I agree and like the practicality of the hatchback. He likes the lack of chrome and so do I. From front to tail, the curves, straight edges and flat surfaces have been put together to create an extremely interesting design that looks different from each angle.
Driving
Driving the tC is another of the points that we agree on. It handles well, getting us through traffic and from lane to lane with ease. Parking, both angle and parallel is quite easy when you get used to the size of the car and where the edges are.
Both of us, went for a zing around town and compared notes, with me trying to put on a scowl at what he was telling me and knowing full well that I had been out pushing the tC in the corners just as he had. I like the predictability of the car as did he. We both felt that the nose gave plenty of warning before starting to push out and that it took a pretty large bump to knock the car off the cornering line we chose.
The suspension of the tC did soak up some of the mid-sized bumps and road hazards, but the very large ones did require mid course corrections to keep from getting bone jarring crashes and bangs inside the car. At the other end of the scale, the tar strips and broken pavement were noticeable because the tires would thump as they hit them, but didn’t require any extra action from the driver.
