Looking to buy a car and a motorcycle

[KrazyHorse]

Which part? The small-engined bike or the TT?

[Jon Miller]

I always wanted a porsche, dont' think I would ever think it was reasonable.

TT in silver is nice looking...



Obviously not the performance of a porsche but still nice looking.

The background looks like Santa Barbara.

Which part? The small-engined bike or the TT?

The TT but I'm probably biased since both the gay guy and the Indian guy at work own TTs. At least it's not as gay as a Miata.

[Provost Harrison]

Hey, I've got a TT...although I don't think I've ever seen one of the older models owned by anyone other than a woman.

[Dauphin]

The reason women drive them most is probably a lot of men can't fit in a TT. I had to crook my neck when I got in your car and I'm not tall*.

*I vehemently deny the existence of seat adjusters

I can understand in the back, but the front is fine...that front seat was strangely adjusted from before. I have dropped it down and have been able to comfortably accommodate a mate of mine in there who must be 6'4"...

KH, the honest truth is that most 2-doors don't actually give you much better value than the Infiniti G37 Convertible or the Lexus IS 250C. You're in the place where you can drop a few extra thousand dollars on a car with nicer styling, but Infiniti tunes for a sporty feel as well as anyone.

I like them both better than the Audi TT, and I might prefer either one straight up to a Porsche Cayman.

[Spaced Cowboy]

KH, your sweet spot is 500 to 750 cc, 250 does not have enough pump.

[KrazyHorse]

Spaced, I'm not looking for anything over-powered. Jag, the car is mostly for the wife, but I'll look at the options you mentioned.

[-Jrabbit]

I see that Tony Stark has switched from Audi to Acura.

Let that be your guide.

[Spaced Cowboy]

I'm just saying that a 250 is not highway worthy. More of a combo street off-road type. The styling on that particular 250 is nice though, me likey. Just check to see if it comes in a 500cc model. Either way, test something with a little more kick before you buy.

[KrazyHorse]

Went with the tt. Post 2011 models have massively improved torque, 0-60 in 5.3 for base trim (which I got).

Fun as hell to drive.

Also, signed up for motorcycle course...

1. Do not get anything less than 600cc. Waste of money.
2. You probably don't need anything more than 600-800cc. But you be your own judge of that.
3. Pick a motorcycle that you look and feel comfortable on. I.E. if you look and feel good on a cruiser then get a cruiser. Same for sportbikes.
4. Suzukis are normally cheaper and for the amount of riding you are actually doing why spend a lot.
My first bike was a 500cc suzuki. I enjoyed it and grew out of it fast.
