I've seen on a few posts people saying the NA is a better car than the turbo. I'm on the verge of chopping my NA in for a T but wondered why some reckon the NA is the one to go for. Of course, if I buried the missus under the patio I could always have both! Ta la.

it's 'orses for courses, i had an na then went on to a turbo, both awesome cars in their own way. thumbsup Drive them and decide.... I think this has been discussed a lot, prepare yourself for a "na is better than the turbo is better than the na" G'luck Nige

Been a lot of discussion about this. Both cars are great, both fast and both handle very well. Not wanting to dig up a massive can of worms because I'm already on the verge of being black flagged form all the meets :P But... If you had to decide between the two :o lucky for your other half as she will not get burried under the patio... The NA handles slightly better The Turbo is slightly quicker However in the wet they are more or less the same. The NA has a bit bigger boot The Turbo has a rear spoiler and sticky out B) side vents That's about it - until you visit TMS Awaiting :flame: and :beat:

How about... Proper timing chain and alloy block (NA) vs. questionable rubber belt and iron block (turbo) :) Extra road-hugging weight in the turbo? :) Sexy leather wrapping on the console (turbo) vs. scuff marks on cheap plastic (NA). :) Seriously, both great cars. I went NA purely on price and insurance.
