Tex,
Our cars are good at alot of things. Acceleration is great, but my 53 Kurtis is faster. Highway cruising is mediocre, and my A6 is far better. Back roads are great, but aren't all that frequent. Track use is okay, but my Elise 190R is far better. But nothing beats our cars in snow. The tt on 4 snows is more nimble, more controllable, and more enjoyable than anything else I've tried in those conditions. That's what I meant. AS

 

WTF, soon they will be caliing it a 4X4....

 

I've had mine since February and I only Have 1,800 miles.
I drive almost 30,000 per year for work but my TT is my weekend dream queen.
I also split my weekend time with a few 2 wheelers, so that keeps the TT mileage down.
I dont plan on selling it so I will be the guy enjoying the low mileage car

 

As long as you keep it yours, it's a good program I believe. I have alittle more free time and plan on driving this TT more then the past ones......Thanks for the imput.

 

Thats good to hear. I have a 03 X-50 with 64K miles and going strong

 

In the UK they drive the **** out of their porsches, here they garage them, mostly. It makes no sence, if you can afford the car why worry about some extra depreciation from milage, enjoy it.
I hear the TT motor is good for 200K miles if maintained properly.

 

Wouldn't driving a TT in snow cause it to plow the snow since its so low? An SUV would be better? I don't know, I've never driven in real snow.

 

Depends on how much, we had a freak storm last winter that dumped 2 feet in Albq. Not only did the viper stay in the garage so did the STI AWD and M3, got around fine in the Tacoma though........

 

I happen to live in a snow belt(lake-effect snow off Lake Michigan, which is 1/2 block from home), and happen to have a house at the top of a very tall hill. Our town has only 70 year-round residents, so we are not at the top of anybody's "plow first" list.
That being said, there has only been one day in the past 5 years when the snow was higher than the nose of my tt, before the plows came.
I agree that when there is a major dump, only an SUV gets thru, though our 07 Audi A6 does a very credible job. But for 99% of my winter driving, the depth of snow on the roads has been a non-issue. AS

 

Thanks. I guess if it ever snows that much in Houston, I'll take solace in the fact that I can take the TT out in it. But for me, the SUV is better for bad Houston weather, where it can flood pretty quickly. Especially near my house!

 

Yes, people have no idea how bad the flash floods are in Houston. That's why I keep the King Ranch around.

 

Floods, bugs, humidity, traffic = live somewhere else to me. No flames, I have been there several times via my retreat in Mexico. I thought of moving there to make my hop to Mexico shorter but friends that live there said enjoy the longer plane ride.

 

"Wouldn't driving a TT in snow cause it to plow the snow since its so low? An SUV would be better? I don't know, I've never driven in real snow."

To be honest it depends on the type of snow - I have driven my car through a 2 foot snow bank and 14" of snow (on snow tires) up my 25-30 degree incline, 900 foot long driveway (the snow was the very light fluffy type - the plow effect about half way up the driveway caused the snow to blow over the hood and windshield like a smoke test in a wind tunnel - it was something else all together!!), in the wet heavy snow this would not be possible - the car will have a tendency to sit on the snow - at least I think so.........it is remarkable car in the snow with snow tires - I just like the laughs you get when you drive it in snow on the highway and the rest of the peeps are just like WTF is that!!! T2

 

Too be honest, I just don't need to nor would I drive my 911 in the snow. Plus if they salt when sanding your just a plain fool to drive the car if you have other vehicles in my opinion.

 

I just love driving the TT in the snow with proper snow tires. It's the only way I can really feel out the dynamics of the car as I do not have time to track.
