M13KYF Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Are you taking the cost of Insurance & Servicing into consideration. I would consider this in the equation before making my mind up. At 19 some insurance quotes I would of thought would be hefty or is it a case of your only young once What BHP version on the TT, 180 or 225. Pose ability it has to be the 350z . It also down to what you want to do with the car and what you like to get back from it. You've got 3 categories. Two seater coupe, 4 seater coupe and 4x4 rally.

sidekickdmr Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 yep all the uinsurance is between 4000 and 5500 but i do only live once and its worth it. do the service costs make a big difference? the 225 version tt i just want a nice fun quick car but not too hefty on petrol or costs i couls live with a 2 seater hapily but a 4 could be handy sometimes!

Removed Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 350Z 2003 hardtop jap import 10000 miles ? new shape M3 uk model 45000 miles? impreza wrx 2003 model with 15000 miles? TT hardtop quattro 1.8 t with 20000 miles 2003 evo with 20000 miles on clock? M3's are nice.. but do you need the stigma of driving a BMW and 4 seats? Impreza & Evo are 2 UGLY cars, great performance but ugly and chav as hell TT no way, country's flooded with them and new one coming out soon! (performance is shite too ) you have no choice mate: Z IT IS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren_Z Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Out of those cars it would have to be the Z or M3. The running costs of the M3 would expensive but if that isnt an issue id take the bm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Some Evo's service intervals are every 3,500 miles. That can soon add up in cash. Scoobbies and Evo's for me would be out for this reason plus the interior is like a family car. Slightly disagree with Val on TT. The 225 has a good kick when the turbo spools. I did have one and liked it very much. The thing is they have spread the range so they are a lot more common and the 150bhp dosen't look much different to the 225 or V6 252. As Val says they are getting a bit common, in someways lika BMW. M3 is a wicked machine though but it dosn't look vastly different to any 3 series coupe. The only choice has to be the Z.

Removed Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 TT's of all shapes and forms (3.2 DSG, and the new Sport one) were repeatedly whipped by the Z around Anglesea circuit driven by both VBH and Tiff chassis of a Golf can't be good for a sportscar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 TT no way, country's flooded with them and new one coming out soon! (performance is shite too ) You said performance not handling Agree on the handling issue although day to day it was pretty good. Still would scare my mate and he had an M3.

Removed Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 performance too! as it clearly shows from fifth gear Anglesea tracktimes vs the Z (which I mentioned above) Handling is extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
