I've been driving my '75 2.0 daily to work for the last 12 years or so and have loved it. For those of you familiar with bay area I probably have the perfect 914 commute because I drive from half moon bay to Menlo Park...so its about 12 miles of twisty mountain roads followed by about 12 miles of blasting down the highway. Unfortunately, I'm getting to the point in my career where I need to project a successful "image" and my poor little 914 is just too tired looking...
Sooooo I need a new car...my criteria are 1. Fun 2. Professional 3. Fun 4. under $20k (used) 5. Reliable Drove a tt and had a blast, but haven't driven an s2000 yet. I would love an Elise, but it is just too spendy right now. suggestions? |

Like Tony...I already posted this in the sandbox and I don't want to be a broken record but....the TT. Great car, no doubt...but doesn't perform as well as any of the other sports cars in its class.
and...are you noticing that these guys Wives are driving them! TT = chubby and slow (relatively) but good for image S2000 = less common more pure sports car thats reliable as hell Boxster = self explanatory I absolutely loved mine...and used to destroy TTs at will. 350z would be another fine choice IMHO.

Drewvw - Lets put you and my wife in equal cars and see who ends up being the fastest. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Some of the best AX'ers in the US are women. I hope Gteener, Toast, Jen and Mrs. K and other female club members haul you out and give you a severe spankin'! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) I think what we are saying here is that the TT is a very capable Daily driver. My wife chose the TT over a boxster for two simple reasons - the interior design and quattro 4 wheel drive. Both very subjective reasons, but important to her. Besides, my 'teener would be jealous of a boxster (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) (tongue in cheek!) |
