I agree, Cayman would probably be my choice too. I do think the new TT is much less feminine than the previous & I like the interior more than the Cayman's.

Of course there are plenty of upgrades, but if the car is based off a VW Golf platform, there is only so much you can do with it. Ever heard the old adage about polishing a turd?

The interior is great too, but that's not enough. I'm not saying it's not a nice car, but I honestly can't understand how anybody (male) would buy one when there are so many better choices out there. That car's appeal has always confused me

But you're saying it's ok for females to buy TT's? If so, why?

I'm not saying it is or isn't OK for anybody to buy a certain car. Obviously my opinion doesn't matter at all, and I would never tell anybody what to do. I'm just saying I honestly can't understand why a man would buy a TT when there are much better choices out there. Females tend to buy cars (and other things) for ridiculous reasons, so I can see why a woman would think a TT looks "cute" and might want one, regardless of what it drives like

I find it hard to believe that the TT handles better than a Cayman.

Just a friendly tip. When you're in a hole, stop digging.

The Z4 has been getting raped in every review since its inception. Wow at the TT.

Cayman for me though.

Hmmm, I dont know. For whatever reason I never really liked any of these things. Some of them seem redundant, ugly, or the performance just doesnt justify the price tag IMO.

Get a Miata or one of the GM twins and be done with it.

A friend of mine have a black on black Cayman S , I think it looks great but considering how much profit per car they make, they can't be consider a good value compared to most brands . . . I think I still want one some day though
