Default Z vs Audi TT

Could someone please talk me out of getting a TT and list the advantages of the Z, besides power? I've been going back n forth for over a month now and it's getting annoying. I think the main reason I'm holding back from getting the Z is because they're a lil more popular than the TT.

Popularity? The Z is a sports car, the Audi only beats it w/snow on the ground.

By original I assume you mean ugly. The Audi TT looks like someone took a 350z and mated it with a VW Bug.

Audi TT is a cool car... Although I hate the roadster version, looks like a bathtub to me when the top is down.. not to mention its WAY to small...

Its a personal prefrence... Get what you like... And stop using us as a sounding board :P

hehe

no he means theres more people around driving Z's than TT's. Please tell me you are at least looking @ the 225TT not the 180?

Which forum do you like better...

This one, or some TT one...

Online tech/moral support has to count for something.

Instead of the cliche "350Z!!" answer. I'm going to say, test drive both and then pick.

if you have snow where u live i would go with the TT unless you can afford a winter car.

Although I have a z and there is snow here, i guess i like it that much.

What else should one expect when they pose this kind of question on the 350z forums?

TT's are fine if you are a woman... but the Z is more of a mans car hahahahaa j/k..

i testdrove an Audi S3, AUDI TT quattro (180), RX8 and a 350z and they just did not compare to the Z.. especially the TT !!

[edit] the only way really is to test drive them both and make up your mind.. see if you can have a full-day test drive of either....

www.myaudittsucks.com

a 350z lemon has a tranny that grinds, or tires that feather. A TT lemon turns off without warning, rolls its windows up or down when you're not looking (and the keys aren't even in the car) or burns to the ground.

the site isn't terribly well organized, but theres lots of information.

A serious answer for you here... I considered the TT before I bought my Z. Look at the reviews on Edmunds.com and you will see the Audi inside is nicer but its overpriced and really depreciates much faster than the Z. I tried to talk myself into accepting the TT because I could have got one at an auction for a decent price ....BUT.......I fell in love with the looks of the Z.....I fell in love with the sound of the Z.....I fell in love with the POWER of the Z.....I fell in love with the looks I get in the Z.......I put 1200 miles on the Z the first month because I love driving it......Hopefully I've converted you to the only sane answer.....GO GET THE Z NOW.......
