markjodrell Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Regarding people defending there own cars.... What do you think of this. I think that everybody who buys an N/A deep down wishes they had gone for a TT, although publically deny it. In the same way everyone who gets an auto deep down wished they had saved a bit harder and gone for a manual TT, but still praise the auto and deny wanting a manual. Where does that leave the guys who brought an auto N/A ?? Just a thought:search: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I just thank god I never bought a silver one......oh the shame PS, sorry but daft thread mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I honestly was quite happy with my auto, and still am. I must admit that my manual Supe is more fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I feel the assumption about N/A owners really wanting a TT is based on the fact that they bought the N/A because they couldn't really afford the TT. I bought an N/A because I wanted an N/A and I'm still glad I bought an N/A. If I'd wanted a TT, I'd have bought a TT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_blackman Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I got an na auto, because i've love the style of the Supra and the n/a is faster enough for me You can't use the supra's power to the max on the roads anyhow Hence why i went for a low mileage n/a.... Its all about the looks for me Still drives ace and is quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Granted, I was in the "I want a manual" crowd initially, but I do genuinely find the auto a pleasure to drive. Plus I probably couldn't cope with a clutch that deals with all that power! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Well I got the NA with a few things in mind 1) Less to go wrong and I can learn abit about Supras 2) Less chance of anything going wrong 3) Um Not that much to go wrong 4) Think your getting the picture Now I walk to work going to be changing to a TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr lover Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 had both, both auto, liked both, but like the tt bit better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyW Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I originally bought an N/A auto (well didn't buy, i swapped my scoob for it). Now i'm waiting for a 6speed TT from Japan. The main reasons for swapping were, the N/A was too slow, and i thought that if i go for a TT then a may as well do it properly and have the best i can i.e. a manual.

CardiffSupra Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Yep same here, Im happy with my auto, althow i never wanted an auto when i drive my manual car its a pain in the arse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 This is the big debate I have. I started out and in my naivety wanted an manual aerotop. Then found out they didn't make one!! Then an auto is fine!! I have had everyman and his dog tell me that i'll regret getting an NA. I now have funds for a TT but i'm not sure if I want one. The thought of massive bills if a turbo fails and the power frightens the shit out of me!! Today I lost control (sort of)in a 2L Diesel Mondeo round a roundabout at about 60 leptons. I do drive a car hard on an open stretch of road and I think an NA will have less chance of killing me!! Why would I want a TT? Am I bothered about the extra second to 60? NO Or am I missing the point completely!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3DG3CKO ROB Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I bought the NA cos the Sup had to be my daily driver and I wanted something cheaper to maintain. Once I can afford to just run the Sup on the weekends, I'll prob go for a TT Practical choice for me + I wanted an aero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 At the moment i have an MR2 and i think most people that own the NA version of that are exactly the same. Most of the time its down to age/insurance IMO. I wouldn't buy an N/A now as tubbys are far too much fun. I wouldn't buy an Auto as i don't want to get lazy regardless of how well i have heard they drive. Its not because i think the auto's are rubbish its because i simply want to drive manually. The best is a UK TT with 6 Speed box. If you prefer the N/A fair enough but take insurance, cost etc out of the equation and give a reason why. I think it would be hard.

markjodrell Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 Interesting replies folks. I wasnt criticising anybodys car here , at the end of the day you pays your money and you takes your choice. After all it is a forum and its good to see peoples opinions. As somebody said in an earlier thread posted today, there are no daft questions only DAFT answers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does that leave the guys who brought an auto N/A ?? Just a thought:search: Nope, I wanted a late reg supe and an aerotop, this left me with the NA. It wasn't a question of cost as I could have had a older TT for what I paid and could have "upgraded" several times over the 4 years I've owned my car. But I love my car and cannot see me changing it, I considered the NA-T a couple of years ago and realised it would change what I love about the car. So, why change?

Snooze Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Why would I want a TT? Am I bothered about the extra second to 60? Closer to 2 seconds, isn't it? Supra TT ~5s 0-60 Supra NA ~7s 0-60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
