Thanks everyone. I really love the look of these, and the interior is quite special, with lots of black leather and alloy. Deosn't drive amazing, it's an old Gold underneath after all, but it's also pretty ropey. Maybe it will drive a but nicer when a few things have been fixed up. Doesn't matter, it's really just for going out to the cafe, dinner or gelato.

Dang. Fuck. That's posh.
It's really not. Cost (much) less than a Rolex, insured, registered and fully fueled. I originally intended to get a WRX or Evo like every other Gen-Z having a mid-life crisis but in Australia they are like 3-4x as much as a TT! Much faster, sure, but I try to drive quite responsibly these days, and relatively awful to sit in.

No issue with the model year. My current vehicles are 2003, 2007, and 2024. Your quartz tach displays the 2003 as the current date. That movement is losing time.

Oh yeah, of course. There's a lot of things that aren't quite right with it. Cool car, lovely to sit in, but it's no Toyota or Mazda as far as reliability and durability go.
