What More Could You Want? — I recently purchased this car because I couldnt stand driving an SUV anymore. and I have to say its a great change, this car seeing as its not the TT AWD version isnt as fast as its bigger brother, but it still looks every bit of the part! I have people constantly asking me if its turbo, VR-4 ETC, and it gets looks just about everywhere I go. You don't see too many of these cars and that is a reason I love it.

good handling, safe, fast.

Cons

expensive

35

Yeah, Its A Bit Expensive, But The Enjoyment Of Driving One Makes Up For It — performance: great reliable performance, AWD, AWS, handles great. build quality: center diff (viscous coupling unit) split the pins. causing 1 of the cogs 2 get ground up. very expensive to fix ( car was second hand with ~150,00km on the odometre ) apperance: very sleek. very sporty. and it looks the goods. cost of ownership: feul economy is great for a 3L twin turbo. the cost of parts are expensive and hard to find. fun factor: this car is awesome to drive. so much fun, and extremely fast.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Pros

Handles well, sounds amazing, LOOKS amazing, Fun to drive, No rattles, Quite comfortable to ride in.

Cons

Noticed easily by PoPo (comes with the territory LOL) not as fast as a TT, had no major issues, but feels like little annoying things are always going wrong.

My 3000gt — The car is great overall, It's a blast to drive, gets looks wherever I go, and is quite comfortable to ride in. surprisingly my car apparently has less rattles than a certain 2007 Mustang with ridiculously low mileage. Mileage is decent, around 25 during the summer. Styling both inside and outside is amazing, people rarely think the car is 11 years old. I've had nothing major go wrong in the year or so I've owned it, but I've had to fix a couple small things like an exhaust leak, etc.. Overall I'd recommend a 3s to anyone. Just do your research before buying.

The 3000 — The car has got looks that kill. It is a very reliable car and decent on gas. Handles good for a fwd car too. The only problem is the thing is severly underpowered. Think old saturns and grand ams. Well maybe not that bad but you get the point.
