Default SC430 can look pretty damned cool....

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/28333/fe4fbb39.jpg.orig.jpg"></center><p>While I love my TT, I can't discount that a SC430 lowered and with a cool set of wheels can look pretty damned good.

This one makes me want one bad!

Killer Stereo (undisputed)
Killer GPS
Lexus reliability..

Looks like it's next on my car list..

Default I'll give you lexus dealer support and reliability - but I don't buy a car based upon it's

navigation and stereo systems. It's an automatic and IMO it's really ugly no matter what tires and wheels you put on it or how much you lower it. It lacks terribly as a drivers car and did I mention it's ugly But hey - if you want to have the same experience as sitting on your sofa in your house - by all means buy a Lexus

Why did you have to add that "less than 10% body fat" part?

Also consider the fact that I'm 6'2" and 225lbs (&lt;10% bodyfat) I am squeezed in the TT. I sat in a friends SC430 with no problem top up or down.

Default Guess you are over the 55yr demo then...

Every time I see one either an older (over 55) man or women is driving the thing.

Because when I say I'm 225lbs, everyone says "fatso"... Sorry, it happened in another forum and I thought I'd be preemptive ;-)

Default Hmm - I'm 6' 200 or so - don't have a clue about body fat - and fit fine in my TT

I don't think the TT is the end all be all of cars - but in it's segment - it's a great choice.

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/28333/01102a.jpg"></center><p>I'm just getting tired of this car not being 100%.

Rattles, electrical problems with dash lights, squeaking brakes (real bad at times)

It's by no means a "lemon" but the nitpicky stuff is getting old. Check this graphic from JD Powers.

Lexus is consistently #1 and Audi ranks #14. I'm no Lexus lover, but that SC looks pretty cool and Audi isn't helping my isssues much.
