I was at Borders with my girlfriend this afternoon and happened across
the September 2005 issue of Sport Compact Car. Not a magazine I
commonly purchase, but I flipped through the pages anyway. I bought it
after seeing the "Top 10 Cars Under $10k" article, but when I got home,
I was also happy to see this...
Not every day you see a fellow TT.NET members car on the pages of
Sport Compact Car, so I had to post to say congrats!
And as for the "Top 10 Cars Under $10k," I'm sure you can figure out
what it consisted of that made me buy the magazine...
Sure, a few facts are wrong. Maybe they meant Twin Turbos are only
available in T-Top models in the US. They leave out that the Convertible
only came NA, and they only post Twin Turbo specs/statistics. And good
luck finding a 1996 TT for $12k. And while the syncros may be
problematic on early Z's, I wouldn't go as far to say the entire trans is
problematic as they do. Aside from those, I'm rather impressed with this months issue. They
have 3 cars you can build for less than $10k that outperform some of the
new flagship sportscars. One being a 12 second Dodge Omni with a
turbo 2.5L for $3,500 total (including car purchase). A Mitsubishi Mirage
that does 411whp for around $5k. And a CRX that does 1.03G's in the
skidpad for around $8k including car purchase. If you get bored and
want some good reading, this is actually a pretty good magazine.
