These will prove much more durable in the long run - even if you don't modify, and have better clutch options...Best of Luck! Ben.

A few of my mates have and have had T's and while I've driven them I've still always loved my N/A. It's just turned 3 years old and I'll be keeping it for a while yet.Depending on how long you want to keep the car, I'd be tempted to go for something newer with less k's. Going right back to a 2003 T so you can afford it might end up costing you more in the long run. So either spend more on a newer T (if you can) or go for the N/A. Oh and if you're not planning on going after-market for sound, get one with the premo sound system!!My 2c.

Make sure you get the bigger, coloured ICC and bass speaker in the rear parcel tray.I didnt have problem insuring the Turbo - but I am in mid 30s, and insured with the same crowd who do my house, life, etc etc.I agree on getting the six speed manual if you can - they are great (from BAmk2 onwards). Also - the newer, and lower ks the better. The price will not be that different - just dont be in a rush.Best of luck with the hunt. If you find one in Wellington - and want me to have a look - feel free to drop me a private message.

Much better and much more economical especially with discount on top of discount. But when I was 22, under that whole invisible 25 year old barrier, things were a lot different!!Have you looked at insurance options yet, Jason? N/A vs. T?
