I had been kicking around the idea of getting a 2004 G35 Coupe, possibly in the US to save a few thousand.

However I saw an Audi TT today that really caught my eye, they seem more expensive, albeit less common, than the G35 coupe...in Canada atleast...for some reason they seem to roughly the same or a little cheaper in the US.

Any insight on these cars would be appreciated.

They're based on a hybrid of the A platform and the B platform... enough said...

I've had the G, its a good all round car, fast, more reliable, better appointed, but you're right the TT is less common. I wasn't so sure most would be likening it to the miata but be prepped for it if you get one. I got comments like the above al the time when I have my S2000, which for the record i think is gayer than the TT.

TT's don't have much balls, there is no space either but i think its a good looking car for the most part, despite it being labled a girl car. Just dont get a convertible

the g's aren't that great though, i have driven a few and expected a lot more out of it, note that you can get the tt in the states a lot cheaper ,but the g35 is also pretty cheap.

i would go for the g35 coupe, better bang for your buck

The Audi TT is like the Miata's were 3-4 years ago.

Everyone with sexual insecurities (or severe shortcomings) called them a "gay" or "woman's" car but then people realized what you could do to those cars.

Lets face it, they are AWD (if you get a Quattro) and they have a turbocharged engine (always room for more power and a bigger turbo) with a fairly light overall body and frame. They also have a very nice stylish interior (not boring and ugly like the 350Z) and the baseball stitched leather interior is a nice touch as well.

I personally would stay away from the convertible (heavier car) and a colour other than silver.

Are you looking at an ALMS TT?

I'll take an Audi over a Nissan any day. G's are popular in Canada because Canadians are notoriously cheap and wannabe luxury cars rule.

The TT Quattro is a nice car but pay attention to the engine. There are three to choose from. The V6 is nice but pricey but at the least ensure that the car has the 227 hp 1.8T (larger turbo) not the 180 hp version. Some people are put off by the bubble styling but IMO it has a futuristic look that still looks nice compared to anonymous styling of most cars this decade. The available black & red leather interior is very nice & you can't beat AWD especially in a German car.

This quote is flawed:

"do you have a vagina?

I personally like vaginas and what straight guy wouldn't and a 'G' can be considered hot but only if you just stepped out of a Sentra.;)

Agree completly. My vote is also for the TT. Make sure you get the newer 227 hp awd one. They are fast and handel awesome. Thats a small car for that amount of power. It would be awesome in the winter and awesome on the track. Not to mention the chips you can get for the audis and vws are awesome. Once u have the program installed, you can choose to run your regular program, or if you have 94 octain fuel in, you can hold the cruise controll button and your new program will now be active and until you turn it off. Usually around 50 more hp and 50 more torque. The tt could be a hell of alot of fun.

I was looking at them also but they are still pretty pricey used even in the US.

Yeah they may be pricy but they just have a bad label and i dont really see why. They are great cars, interiors are awesome with nice brushed metal and such. And once you own a German car, you wont go back to a honda or a nissan :)

I drove a friends TT last weekend and although I'd never buy one, it was better than I expected. It has power all over the place and is an overall fun drive. It had the turbocharged motor. I liked it more than the G35 coupe but you can't really go wrong with either car. The Audi is built better w/ a nicer interior in my opinion after being in both, and AWD is a bonus. I wouldn' get a convertible though.

Yeah hard top for sure. I have seen some very nice ones, just dont get silver. It would be awesome to have a car that u barly see on the roads. My GTI ran 15.1 stock with the 180hp turbo motor, so with the 227 hp motor and a lighter car, you will be laughing... and even if u chip it :D

I vote TT too.... I REALLY like the brand new styling.

my uncle had one, and I had to sit sideways in the back though, so dont expect to carry people or a large dog back there for too long.

to this day i still dont know how you pulled that off, 3 weeks ago i ran my 337 at RC a couple times and my times ranged from 15.3 worst to 15.0 best...mind you i have a 3" catless downpipe (337 has upgraded rear exhaust), front mount intercooler, turbo inlet hose, CAI, and a short shift. i would say my driving is not bad too so im really puzzled about this whole thing

edit: i think a member on here had a nice silver convertable one a couple years ago, brandon was his name i think?....the guy with the sick red g35

G35 is a pig like my 350Z.

TT for sure.

The new one is not as radical as the previous gen TT but it's better in everyother way. As for colour, the previous gen ROCKS orange! The new one looks good in it too.

Unless your previous car is a entry compact car, G isn't as good as it's hyped up to be.

TT will also be better on gas. And the 1.8T engines get insain gas milage on the highway.

I will add my two cents into this conversation as I have owned/modded both of them..

Here are the pictures!

The TT's interior hands down is way better then the G35! every piece inside flows so well! seats are comfy and hug you like no other!.. I am a taller guy 6'1 and I fit in it perfectly! never had a problem getting in or out and had the most room out of that class of car.

Exterior has different thoughts from everyone! I personally love the way it looks.. and many people think it looks like a beatle! ethier way you need to figure out what you think of it and don't listen to what other people say..

It wasn't the fastest car but it was pretty quick for what it was! I had the 1.8T 225hp version! awd was amazing and so was the 6speed manual!.. as for maintence I would actually say that I spent way less overall maintaining that car then I ever have on the G35!

I won't go into so much detail about the g35 because they are more common knowledge! but like previously stated you see one on every block you drive!! they are a car with amazing lines and will be a classic for a while to come! I have spent an arm and a leg maintaining this car! lots of things breaking on it and needing replacing! warranty and not warranty items!

Aftermarket parts are alot easier found for the G35 then the TT.. but they both remain to be in the same price range!..

If you have any questions or what not feel free to shoot me a PM.

i drove a 03' TT Roadster(227 hp)for a couple weeks.. and maybe it was the fact that it was a convertible.. but it wasn't that quick.. i was expecting more.. Plus, im a little under 6'1 and it was waay to small for me with the seat as far back as it could go(also maybe because of the roadster version), my rsx has wayy more room then it did.
Go with the g, a far better pick, IMO.

qft. dumped my bmw in a hurry for my civic.
guess it's about what u want i guess. i preferred to have a lighter car that's a lot easier/cheaper to modify and more fun to drive.

My Father had so many problems with his new(04)
BMW they gave him another car.

I guess what is good about them is it was BMW's idea to give him a new car wiyh out him asking.

so true!!
bmw's are junk when off warranty, especially newer ones with everything computerized. Why can't BMW make Euro versions here which don't have all the bells and whistles, and are just pure drivers cars?
