The Z is a kickass car NA. Better if it's FI and done correctly. There are no major issues, unless you're the picky type that worries about every little noise or idiosynchracy.

I have an 03 and love the car. I treat it well, she returns the favor. Besides a few recalls for various issues, I haven't had any major mishaps. I just take good care of my baby.

I personally don't like the Audi TT. Not to sound chauvinistic, but the TT seems like a chick car to me. I have never really seen a market for TT's in the tuner scene.

 

That reminds me, do all 03` Z have that rack and pinion problem or is it just some?

No im not picky about noises (the exhaust note should take care of that) its just that I know the celica is gonna blow up, besides I drove the car once in my life an 03`, and MAN WAS I LOVE!. Yeah it had the shaky steering wheel problem but I still didnt care...

Where I live I see a Z everywere, and Ive only seen one modded TT and they are fast. But I just really feel the Z, really Im just looking for reasurance from you guys ( guess everyone in here is), and your right SmoothZ, theres a small market for the TT.

Anyone else got something to add?

 

Seriously never heard of there being any problem with the motor in NA form. Have an '03 and love it... and Smooth basically said everything else perfectly haha

 

Not a big fan of the Audi TT at all !!!
I'd say go the Z, looks way better, not sure how they compare in performance, but I thought TT were slower (again not sure).
Audi TT looks like a flattened bug or something like that ! lol

 

Go to youtube.com and check out the audi vs Z race after that itll be a no brainer ... ZZZZZZZZZZZ all the way.. :} )

Yeah, if the Z is good enough for Tiff Needle*...then it's good enough for me.

Is that the one with the girl comparing the 2? If so, I've seen it and the Z wins! :bow:

Seriously, the Z is a great car with an engine that has been voted the most times as the winner of some prestigious motor award... :wink: Seriously. The Nissan V6 is akin to the Chevy 350ci workhorse - bulletproof and built to last.

 

Well idk if this helps you with your decision or not but I just found out that the Z was named "Tuner Car of the Year!"... its an amazing machine... i don't regret buying mine at all... I was torn between the Z and the STI but i fell in love with the Z....

here is the comparison:

in my opinion hands down... go with the Z... i hope this helped and good luck with your decision...



& if your into the tuner scene... I always believe: "there is no replacement for displacement..." :irock:

 

A good friend of mine bought an Audi TT with the 225 hp motor, and when I drove it I thought it was bad ass and I was ready to buy one UNTIL I drove the Z. I think you should do the same: test drive a TT then go test drive a Z and write us back when you're ready to go over what mods you want to go with on your new Z.

 

Aren't the TTs prone to flipping over at high speeds because they generate lift like an airplane wing?

Thats exactly what im talking about, seriously im always worried about if I should even floor it or not, thats how weak this engine is...

 

I just bought a Z and went through the same issues, although I didnt look at the TT. It was the STi and G35 coupe I had the choice of. I was literally about to make the deal for the G35 as I was staring at a brand new red Z (it was a nissan dealership), when I said "screw it", I dont want to compromise any more, as I had gotten a celica and lude before instead of a z, I am for once going to get what I have dreamed of. No more compromises, no more "oh its got a nice back-seat."

I say this because it really sounds like you are a Z man, but you are rethinking it. You buy a car like the Z because you dream of it, not because it makes good sense. I tell you, you will regret not getting the Z if you get the TT instead.

Also, imo the TT styling is getting way out of date. When did they first come out? Anyways, Audi's are more expensive to fix, id guess. You just got done spending money on your celica's engine, why not buy a car you can drive and not have to worry about it blowing up on you.

I dont think I have seen "Not Available" written so many times in my life.

My cousin's ex-bf was a total moron, he never treated her right at all. I think he had a mother complex too. Oh, and he drove a TT. After seeing this comparison, it's clear evidence that his decision lead him in the wrong direction (imo) :rolf2:

In all honesty though, drive/buy what YOU are most comfortable with, don't let others define your lifestyle.
