It's light, has lots of options... But it is FWD.

I grew up with RWD and AWD, and the way those platforms react are what I am used to and prefer.

If Toyotoa made the tC RWD, they would have another AE86 on their hands.

mjn where do you work? I'm assuming a dealership. I'd be interested in how they drive as well. It would be sweet to have another 86.

I grew up with RWD and later...AWD, I used to agree with the mindset that FWD's are not the way to go...plow like hell, etc...

Try some of the late model german FWD cars... Audi A3, GTI....unreal.

My girl drives a tC. For what it is (cheap, reliable, grocery getter), it's a great car.
