Turbo Scion TC Vs the Honda Civic - Most Tunable Car?

When you compare any two cars, like the turbo Scion tC and the Honda Civic you have to start from big to small, working from unique parts of each car to more general items. For instance, the first feature to look at that the Scion tC can come with is the turbo package. If you get the turbo, it won't be much power added, but you will definitely tell a difference from the Civics lighter power, although the Civic Si is V-tech.

So what's better? Well, it all depends on your styles of tuning and the parts selection available for that car. Scion came out with a car that was basic and attractive, much like the Honda Civic always had been. However, when the turbo tC came out, they opened the doors to new auto tuners to come and purchase their way into another tuner car that has only just begun. This was attractive to many young kids who were always attracted to Honda Civics, and now are of age to purchase their own cars. The turbo Scion tC gave an easier route for people looking for Civics, simply because there are very limited sources on clean older Civics. Newer Civics have recently been sort of expensive and many daily working auto tuners want something cheaper, but still be able to customize.

If you are comparing the Honda Civic to the Scion tC, with respect to how many aftermarket parts and upgrades each car can have, I would have to say the Scion tC has out-ran the newer Civics. However, if you where to look at every generation of the Civic with respect to the numbers of Scion tC's, it would be obvious the Honda Civic tuner car industry is way deeper, larger, and older, having more recognition than that of the Scion tC.

It also depends on to what extent you want to customize. If you want to make a turbo Honda Civic V-tech, you could build that thing to out run any turbo Scion tC. Both of the car styles have grown to be very different. The Civic has taken on some of the Accord features, like the longer body length. The Scion tC is staying the very basic, boxier type of style. They are sort of like the old style Honda Civics, with a new edge to it.

I must say, I have seen many older Civics, like the EG and EK styles out driving at night, on the well known cruising streets. This was probably because of the low economy and people are looking for cheaper, long lasting cars. In the auto shows, it's a different story. There is a lot more money and more connections, resulting in better selection of customizations. With this, both the turbo Scion tC and the Honda Civic can be tuned to great extents. In the end, it all boils down to your resources and connections for parts. The more you can get, the bigger and better your car will be.

For example, you might look at Dustin's 310 horsepower, 2005 [http://turboaddict.com/dustins-2005-turbo-scion-tc/]turbo Scion tC to see how far tuners take their cars, or any of the several Honda Civics on the site. Which car do you think would win in a race? Which one do you think could be tuned to the highest horsepower?
