What turbo?
It was a joke pertaining to his previous antics.

DannyW does comedy now? Oh **** we're all doomed. 
Must have missed that. Tried to read his thread but all the posts were deleted.
It was years ago when he sold a Skoda because it was smoking and using oil and he thought the turbo was about to give up. So he advertised it as not using oil "which is the sign of a good turbo".
Had this for about a week now. Ideally wanted a Toyota GT86 but couldn't afford one.
Spec/Price of your one out of interest? Is the ride 'firm'?

Cleaned my car at 7 this morning:

Well yeah, new vs old would bring into account pricing differences.
GT86 all the way though... they're not really entirely comparable as the TT is aimed at being a luxury car with sports ability, whereas the GT86 is a purpose built drivers car. The TT is undeniably a better built car, with a more sophisticated interior, but the GT86 is the more pure, drivers car. Depends what you're after / deem more important!
- Rear wheel drive -vs- Quattro (Haldex, so FWD)
- NA -vs- Turbo (NA, better throttle response)
- GT86 - Lower centre of gravity, better drag coefficient, more agile.
And besides, a TTS / TTRS are simply TT's with bits bolted on - if you're going 2nd hand, a Cayman would be where my money went. Oh wait, seems my list above could be very much applicable to the Cayman vs TT scenario as well. So yes, I would personally say the GT86 and Cayman should not be classed as the same as a TT. Different philosophies entirely.

Same! Although at 11.
At the end of the year this will be 10 years old and approaching 100k miles. Doesn't look it

Jealous of your XenonsLooks great mrk.
Don't see the same model with Xenons much, only projectors, I do like em
Bulbs have been replaced a while back as the first pair had dimmed over time. Much better since.35mm?
Indeed!

GT86 > TT

Aye, wish mine had either, unfortunately it's dull yellows for the time being.
Man of Honour
Projectors with some nicer looking white bulbs can get away with it but reflectors with the same bulbs just look a bit diabolical

TT is not even in the same league as a GT86.
'86 all the way baby!
