New 2014 Scion tC offers more performance than Civic

NAPERVILLE, Ill., Oct. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- It does not take Olympic-caliber mental gymnastics to see that the Scion brand has done a service for the entire automotive industry by completely turning the compact car segment of the automotive industry on its head. For any criticisms automotive reviewers and critics may have with Scion vehicle, a word that is almost never used to describe them is boring. Scion has made a name for itself in the industry over the past 10 years for pushing the conventions of compact car designs by building cars for people who value individuality. Naturally this has been noticed by the competition and the gap between compact cars is narrowing quickly. To help remind customers why Scion remains a leader in this segment, the staff at Scion of Naperville has compared the 2014 Scion tC vs. the Honda Civic, a long-time standard-bearer.

Certainly the exterior design of the Honda Civic has become sleeker over the years. It, however, remains a little behind the curve in direction comparison with the new Scion tC. A sculpted frontend and attractive character lines are among the first things a first-time observer of the new Scion tC will notice. Additionally, the wide mouth grille and flared wheel wells give an appearance that belies the athletic ability of the new 2014 Scion tC.

From a performance standpoint, the 2014 Scion tC has much more to offer than the Honda Civic. The Scion tC has a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that can make 179 horsepower while still breaking the 20-mile per gallon barrier in the city and the 30-mile per gallon mark on the highway. One of the biggest reasons this kind of performance is possible is because of the addition of engine rev-matching technology in the transmission allows for better acceleration and fuel-economy. The Honda Civic is powered by a 1.8-liter, four-cylinder than will turn out 140 horsepower.
