Please help
I've had my 6sp 11 ssm ex w/navi for about a month now, and i'm still missing my tC. Thinking about trading again, someone talk me out of it.

It would help if you explained why you dropped the tC in the first place. What did you like bout it? In what way is the CR-Z lacking? etc

not only are tC's ugly and common, but they aren't sporty. i had an 06 GT that ran high 11's and as much as i miss that car, i would still never get rid of my z.

how about this, you're also saving a ton on gas, and you can ride in the HOV lane solo. did that help?

Is it the tC that has drum brakes on the rear wheels?

Never thought I'd get rid of the tc, traded on impulse. Got a great deal on the z and got over top dollar for my scion. I liked the tc's styling and history of toyota perfomance. I miss the timeless panorama moonroof. Almost everything on the car was made high quality. I miss the stock system hitting. Only thing I did not like about the whole car was the 5sp slushbox.

So I've heard any car you put time and work into you get attached to.

The cr-z is sweet. Only thing I can complain about is the weak hp, which does the 0-60 in I think less than a second slower than stock tc anyway. Also there is some cheap interior pieces and the front of the car is rounded out a lot.

On the other hand I could say I love the Exotic/unique look of crz. I like the feel of the car and the gas mileage of course.
idk

The more often you trade in, the more money you are losing generally. Based on how dealerships make money.

Keep the crz for a couple years, modify it to your liking, see if it grows on you.
