The TC has some of the worst blind spots in any car I have driven. Since it has the panorama sunroof, they build out the pillars like a tank-several inches wide. It has a tiny window behind the seats to check your blind spots but the frame is so thick you can't see out of it. The mirrors are tiny, too. The rear window has about as much viewing space as an SRT under the wing. The panorama sunroof is kinda cool, but it's got a big bar going across it ala a T-Top that separates it into two normal-sized sunroofs, one of which opens. From the outside it looks like one big sunroof but that's not the case. If you're a bigger guy or over 5'9" don't bother. The interior is very cramped and the seat doesn't go back very far. It does get up to speed OK, but nothing to write home about. A non-S Mini Cooper seems to get there quicker.
Overall, if you haven't already, test drive it and make sure you can live with it before you drop the cash on it.
