If you can find one for a good price I'd go with this.

Nice, quick grocery getter with great looks.

The Audi TT are fairly quick. From what I've heard though, you need a lotta cash to make them any faster (minus the chip mod), and they have weak trannies. Also, I think they are on the heavier side. On the plus side, they looks and feels much more luxurious. Maybe look into the Audi S4? Also make sure things have been replaced if they are around the 100,000 mile mark.

The TT tranny is good for 350+BHP

Stage 1 remap - no other mods - 260 BHP, 270 ft.lbs. - 0-60 in 5.9 ish = ~$300
Stage 2 remap - turbo back exhaust and CAI - 280 BHP, 295 ft.lbs. - 0-60 in 5.5 ish = ~$900


Pretty good gains for little money imo....

Heard the TT's are horrible track car's though.
Not that he needs it for track purposes just saying.
Way to stiff, and way to much understeer over nothing.

Go 350.

quick change of anti roll bars fixes the understeer

or you can get a different Haldex controller, which puts 60% of the power to the back wheels permanently

niceee. Could you turn off tcs on those by the way?

I'm still debating on what I want as well. Seems like the TT and Z are neck and neck for me right now. But aiming more towards the Z hmmm don't know, either way both are good cars.

i love driving my gf's TT its a blast..



could look into a 05-06 mini cooper s. supercharged and if you can find a JCW for fairly cheap (GL) it is 215HP and a quick little car.

stay away from 02-04 MCS's they are problematic (ask me about it! lol) 07+ are turbo'd and a lil heavier but look much better and easier to mod due to it being turbocharged instead of s/c'd

02-06 MCS 163HP
07+ MCS 171HP (nd much better hp/tq curves)

Yep, tcs (ESP) goes off.

Z's are great too. i'd probably get one if i didn't have the TT. Different sort of power. Z is Quicker stock vs stock and more fun to be had with RWD. TT is much better quality inside and out.

Its always snowing where I live so AWD is pretty much a must.. and the audi interior is is the most luxurious of any other car ive had on radar so thats why its been narrowed down to an AUDI TT.. I don't think ill be doing much engine mods anyway itll be my daily driver unless I get another car also.

I know previously I said my new car must be turbo.. but I dunno im really liking the 2003 bmw M3.. I just love the way it looks!! the best price I've seen is like 18 grand.. I'm really thinking about instead of spending like 10-12 grand on the TT in August.. I could just wait until like Spring and just buy the M3. Im gonna be stationed in pensacola florida from september to like march.. so like I won't really be driving that much until I come back anyway.. I'm thinking it could be much less maintence than the audi TT also just for the fact that it is N/A and RWD

dont get a DSM...

not really worth talking about what you *might* get in a year then is it.

Yea it is.. I'm in need search of a new car.. I have 2 options at the moment.. I could get an Audi in a few months.. or get a M3 next year.. if I get the Audi it will be in a garage from september till like january. I really don't wanna rush and get something because the car I pick I will have for the next 5 years at least.. which is why I want suggestions from my 6gc brethren.

with my experience and what you are looking for, i have an audi a4 1.8t (B6) and it is an amazing car, inside and out. Its quick, luxurious, brakes good, the one downfall i guess would be that it is a saloon and therefore handles like one around corners I really like audis a lot...my experience with eclipse gsx's...another story. My friend has one and there are a lot around the town i live in. I have driven it and have this to say, WAY TOO BIG for a 4 cylinder car, POOR visibility, things a tank, and last but not least, it IS NOT and i repeat IS NOT reliable, my friend's gsx has probably been down more than it has been running since he got it, an ongoing waste of his money and time...so bad he had to get a commuter car and STILL pours all his money into the non running GSX. If you like the GSX, honestly i would just pick up a 4th or 5th gen Alltrac instead. I have never driven a 5th gen but I know my 4th gen is just as quick, handles better, better visibility, its a Toyota so its reliability isnt in question, and last but not least i bought my 4th gen alltrac for only 2 grand.

Thats a really good review my friend. Alot of people are giving the GSX terrible reviews. I've only driven the GS.. and I thought my celica GT was faster. Many of my friends are saying the Audi TT has alot of maintenance issues.. others have recommend the audi A4 as you.. I'm not a big fan of the body style though. I love the way the E46 M3 looks, and its fast without needing a turbo.. so maintenance won't be as bad.. What I want to do very soon is test drive the TT and M3.. and see what I like best. Right now it's between the 2 cars unless I find something else. I rulled out the alltrac a while back because I hate the body style lol.. if it looked like a 6 gen I would have bought that longgg ago lol.

i love the body style of the 2nd gen? eclipse. i drove one a while back and they're awesome cars. quick too!

Nissan GTR

Yep lol. GSX = Project, not daily driver. Take my word for it lol.
