I took looked at TT. I didnt even get as far as a test drive due to fact that every other car is silver TT. I play a game with my wife whenever we go up or down motorway. If she spots another s2000 then Ill give her

Haven't driven a TT. Don't like the Audi image. Not a bad looking car though and well trimmed.

However, I have "driven" a TT on GT3 and boy what a dog. Permanent dual shock treatment whilst accelerating, no turn in and poor brakes. How this compares to real life I have no idea, but I can beat almost anything on GT3 with a stock S2000 (no visits to the tuning shop).

Interested in the way in handles on the X box game as posted above.

Back to real life, the S2000 handles very well and the only time it is slightly dog like is when you wag its tail and it snaps back at you. (Sorry,couldn't resist the dog puns).

I guess snap oversteer is not to everyone's liking.

This is the latest insult to Honda drivers on the TT Forums:-

"It's just occurred to me that I never look at any other forums because other cars really don't interest me too much (except supercars). However this is the 2nd 'invasion' I can remember where people in lower grade cars have come here to insult the TT. Why did they come here? Because they'd prefer a TT any day and want to hear more about them!

Looks like these TT drivers really think they are the dogs bo**ocks.

Excuse the pun!!!

These statements seem to be getting better and better.

this "raw driving experience" that you get so carried away about. i guess that means you have to thrash the nuts off your engine to get the last ounce of revs from it. Thats (so i'm reliably informed) the way to get the power from a VTEC. how unrefined. how "max power". but each to their own. me? i prefer something a little more relaxing - a car that will outperform yours in any conditions (but especially the British ones) and gives me a sense of pride and pleasure every time i look at it or drive it.

I'm going to stop looking at that thread now because i think my sides are going to split.

A guy near me has a TT replica on an MG metro chassis. It's rough, but really almost convincing. It has me falling about.

The TT forum would probably implode!!!

Now, now boys and girls we should all act in a mature manner. I have only one thing to say, my dad's bigger than their dad

Obviously, the author of that thread has a dislike for S2000's and is proud of it. Personally, now that he opened the door, I think the TT looks like crap; so much so that I didn't even test drive it. Kind of reminds me of the Studebaker of sports cars. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
