Z because Audis are unreliable... and Z looks more agressive!

One drive of each should sort this out for you. The TT is a Golf/Jetta/New Beetle platform with a swoopy body over it - and that's exactly what it drives like.

From a performance standpoint, Z hands down.

my friend owns a TT that we both drive, and i would trade it in for a Z anyday. the z has more power and is a lot more reliable. The TT immobilizer on the car, goes on the fritz all the time, so some days, it just doesnt start. something is wrong with the maf light now, so it is slow as *****. the wheel bearing is also going on it now, and i could keep going but i would have to talk about a car i dont like. oh ya, and it only has 35k on it!

I guess the real question you should be asking yourself is are you a man, or not. Then you will have your answer.

I also considered a TT. I ended up with the Z. I think you get more for your money and with the TT (still a good car), you are paying more for the label. It took me awhile to decide on if I should get the G35 or the Z. Also if you're looking at the TT for the back seat, the G35 has more room in back. The TT back seats aren't really useable.

The interior of the TT kills the Z but other than that, the Z cleans its clock.

Due to the fact you are even asking this question you should not be driving a Z, so you should just go and buy the Audi TT.

Not everyone has problems with their Audis. If it doesn't have enough power then you can definately fix that. Check out Audizine.com and Audiworld.com

The '05 TT was in the final four with the Z, Boxster, and Carerra.

My observations on the TT were that it's suspension felt "nervous" on the side streets communicating every crack and bumb in the road. The Porsches and Nissan were a better mixture of communcation and road.

I'm 5'11'' and the TT's view was rotten. I felt like I was looking through a mail slot while driving with the long dashboard and low windshield brow.

I loved the transmission and the AWD. The looks are a personal thing and I liked them - a big plus was that there weren't too many Audis running around and tons (and tons) of Z's in the 'hood.

The audi looks like a big speed bump everytime I drive by a parked one.

The TT doesn't stand for twin turbo BTW, it stands for two + two, meaning the seats that it has inside, two in the front, two in the back(the back is not usable, but more for a suitcase and insurance purposes). Just in case you didn't know.

EDIT: the TT does not stand for two + two, it stands for Tourist Trophy. Sorry about that.

You have to ask yourself rather you would like an all wheel drive sports car or a rear wheel drive sports car.

With that said, you should get the audi tt, I don't want another 350Z out there grabbing attention away from us

Not true at all.

I'm not sure what the TT stands for (my thoughts is just a random name) but the convertable is a 2 seater while the coupe is 4.
