Guest Typer666 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 what is faster from experience at accelerating (N/A version) an auto or manual? what is better to drive.. more exhilirating? Im looking at buying and auto/manual.... im 18 just now and could only afford the insurance for a n/a man/auto ... so maybe a tt in a few years if they are still about or there is nothing better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 manual for sure! Although an Na aerotop auto is good for the money! There's not much in them for speed tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 you will struggle to insure a n/a as well mate quite often cost more to insure, get a quote first to see.....what are you driving now.....if its a small engined fiesta or saxo etc the insurance companies will shit blue lights + running costs are high not to mention petrol, unless your financial situation is good you may struggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 ok, they are very very similar, me and another member tested this out better to drive is the manual more control and can keep gears longer etc... Though the auto is a good box, if its a NA i say Manual all the way, if it was a TT i wouldnt be too fussed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 At 18 I would expect it to be very hard to get insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 come on, tell us where you got your qoute and how much. the tt insurance is generally close to th n/a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 and, a uk spec will be cheaper than the n/a to insure as the n/a will have to be an import, this is only because the magic qoutes that admiral/bell/elephant come up with for the uk spec, not that your be able to afford the uk spec in the first place. be prepared to spend 1-2k keeping her on the road a year, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruff_Rider Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Auto's appear to be much cheaper as they're more common and less desirable here than in Japan. Maybe the difference will help with insurance costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Deffo NA manual. I'm paying about £350-400 a year on my NA, and I'm 37 and live in the genteel countryside. You'll have more joy spending the night at Barrymore's house then the ass-reaming any insurer is going to hand you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 agreed on the TT thing - it's a strange one but generally theres not alot in the insurance between and NA and TT. Mine actually went down when I switched! Go for a UK one and its no question about a TT being cheaper to insure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
