steve0 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 thought it would be best to ask n/a previous owners this question who have or owned a tt ive got n/a auto at present which im in the process of selling im still considering on what to get next i love the look of the supra so im considering a tt so wanting to know apart from performance what else did you notice like fuel are you spending a lot more on it insurance and reliablity things like that cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr lover Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 for me more fuel costs, insurance was cheaper and reliabilty wise i have been happy, lucky, pleased never looked back really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 It this simple. With the NA you can put your foot down notice the difference but continue on your way. Put your foot down in your TT and a few blips later you need to get some more fuel. fuel is the biggest difference in running costs. My insurance doesnt count as i went from normal....to nuts on mods front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Haven't owned an NA but yeah, the TT east fuel alive if you open no2 up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seifer Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I went from an aerotop n/a auto to a hardtop gz tt auto. The fuel economy of the tt isnt quite as good as the n/a, but everytime you put your foot down you really dont care!! I do miss the aerotop sometimes on sunny days, but i've never thought to myself when low on fuel 'I wish I still had the na!!' An everytime I pulled up alongside a wrx or evo I thought 'I wish I had a twin turbo!!!' Insurance wise there wasn't a big difference, about £100 or so. I was in the same boat as you, wasn't sure whether to go for a tt supra or something completely different. I chose the supra an i've never regreted it!!

mattanna Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Went from n/a auto to Aristo TT, insurance the same fuel the same but as people say with number 2 online eats fuel, but to have number 2 online all the time you would be going fast everywhere or live on a motorway, reliability has been a bastard see post "bollocks" but i suppose these things are sent to try us, car has never broken down though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 This thread is telling me to stay N/A.... I think I need a go in a TT to see what the difference is... you know whats going to happen if you buy a tt especially if its standard first BPU ,then this- then that - end result no cash left lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve0 Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 i do like to put the foot down know and again but i so like cruising aswell so im still undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S7EVE Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 This thread is telling me to stay N/A.... I think I need a go in a TT to see what the difference is... Once you go in a TT there is no going back! Plenty more mods for a TT too, so I find myself spending a more money, or at least saving towards a HUGE single Turbo! Economy personally, is slightly worse than the NA, it depends how you drive the car, but as mastercard say... the smile on your face will be priceless! My advice, get into a TT, you'll never look back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Ian Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Hi SteveO I went from a Black n/a to a Silver TT and to be honest I LOVE IT you need to have a drive in one mate they are a different animal, the acceleration is addictive, as for running costs yeah there is more but depends on how much and what type of driving you do ie a lot of Motorway work there wont be much difference TBH, the insurance went up but not a lot really, as for relialablity same as an N/A there are more parts to go wrong yeah but its a Toyota LOL just find a well looked after one and you will be laughing IMO if you can afford it go for it mate you wont regret it,im not dissing the n/a in any way i loved mine its just more power is allways addictive Hope this helps Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Never owned an NA, interested to know what sort of mpg you get around town and urban driving? i get around 20mpg and thats with the car in TTC mode so in effect pretty much NA most of the time, but on fast A and motorway driving, using boost a moderate amount i get 22-25 so an easy 320-350mls to a tank.

nismo_lp Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 the TT is a ridiculous car to own .... i think if ur trying to be sensable ... dont buy one but my advice to you is ... DONT BE SENSIBLE! The cars unreal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I have got a TT and petrol is a concern. But until there is no petrol left in the world i'll keep my TT for shear smile factor :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
