Turbofalke Member 658 Member For: 20y 28d Location: Mexico Posted 19/03/05 01:20 AM Share Posted 19/03/05 01:20 AM I was (and still am) a german car fan. Wanted an Auid A4 T but couldn't justify the price or the depreciation. In wanting a car with balls, I couldn't go past the XR. My brother has had his since they were released and always raved about it. I couldn't buy a Expensive Daewoo cause my dad wouldn't let me in his house.

(Expensive Daewoo tonner out) so that left the T. So far 951k's and happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU was a heap of sh*t so I was waiting for BA and then discovered the turbo BA. One test drive and I was sold. It's a big car and perhaps not the best for the city but out on the open road it's awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I needed a new work ute, but wanted something that I could play in after hours. I have owned a few turbo cars before and I knew how much grunt the T would have once modified.

jordak Member 1,226 Member For: 20y 6m 3d Posted 19/03/05 07:10 AM Share Posted 19/03/05 07:10 AM The space and comfort that a big car gives you, what with 2 kids / clients to cart around. Nice to see the look on the clients face when you give it squirt after discussing the purchase of his new jag / bmw slug.Major reason I wanted a quick automatic so it was a no brainer really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markxr6t Member 476 Member For: 20y 1m 13d Location: Perth WA Posted 19/03/05 01:14 PM Share Posted 19/03/05 01:14 PM Why the T?Early mid life crisis and criteria were:1. Had to make me smile2. Had to take my wife and 3 kids all in baby / booster seats.LS1s and BA V8s felt doughie down low. Second on the list was an AUIII XR8.For my needs, nothing else came close!
