Skittles, I think just the opposite here. I have a friend with an '05 tC and having ridden in that a few times, as well as having driven the EX, I think there is more room in the tC, at least from my knees to the back of the front seat. On the other hand if you mean the horrid height of the window in the rear of the tC I
completly agree...if you are tall the back seat of the tC is NOT a place to be as your head will be bouncing on the hatch window.
The 'seat memory' on the drivers seat of the tC does not work worth a damn either; it seems to always be one or two notches off when you set the seat back in place. 5th gear is also too short. RPMs are way to high at 80mph. Fun little car though, feels like you have more bottom end grunt than you actually have, but fun to zing around corners nonetheless
I think if you cold get the TRD springs/struts and S/C factory (options of course) and keep it under $22K ($21,995) it might be a good draw for the younger crowd.
On the EX I think my favorite thing was the clutch/shifting. Going from gear to gear the stick felt like it was floating in liquid.
Does the EX having the 'New Honda Smell' count as a plus also? Heh.
