DONT do it, totally terrible car, so boring you'll fall asleep driving it!! lol

My friend used to own one, i drove it alot, really didnt like it one bit i would never own one.

There was a recall on the dash if i remember rightly, make sure its been done otherwise a new dash is £800.

I have a type r like yourself and i have previously driven the 225 tt for some time as a company car in my opinion i didnt even come close to the sccob. It was very much a chicks car, the women certainly loved it though. If we are talking about the brand new shape though i could be tempted as it certainly does have some character.

Good look with whatever decide but you will miss the scooby.

If you want a little coupe like the TT buy a 350z.

The Audi would seem slow and very ordinary compared to the type R mate. It is a Golf in drag! I wouldn't.

I've just rejected the idea of a TT and bought an imprezza instead.

no space inside- massive recall on dash problems (featured on watchdog I believe)

and they are everywhere. And in my opinion the roadsters look like a hairdressers car.

however the new ones do look a lot better.

the roadster is a very ugly car how could you go from something as stunning and powerfull as a type r it would be immpossible. As i previously said if you get new shape the story will change completley as they are beautifull.

Precious Metal just moved one on, Drew said the same "Golf in drag".
The early ones killed if you lifted off at high speed, added a rear spoiler to cure that one !

Pretty, un-inspiring V6 no better but sounds nicer...

P.S. At least it's a grown-up car, Subaru's are seen as "lads" cars, can't think why ?

Stick with the scoobys stu, I think i have got the changing cars thing out of my system now, after your evo i tried the skyline thing for a while and then of course ended up back in a scoob, there really isn't a better mark!
