Hey, what's the roof height like? I read the ones with sunroofs are very low inside (well the sunroof internals are low)

What's the max comfortable height for one with and without a sunroof?

It probably also depends on how you like to sit in the car. How upright your seat is.

That wouldn't be comfortable Dan would it?

Yay, I've got around 1 week (well 1.5) till I'm financial enough to make the purchase.. I'm hoping I don't just rush out and buy the first one I see. Now I've been looking I see Soarers everywhere! hah

There's plenty of them around. Spend the time to find a good one with the options that you want, otherwise you will kick yourself in 6 months time.

Well, I had my dates wrong, seems my Term Deposit comes out this Friday so I'll hopefully be buying one sooner, I hope I find the right one heh

Can anyone reccomend any Brisbane mechanics to take a look at one before I buy?

Hey I was wondering what the pecking order of the TT's are? I've noticed they've been described by different model prefixes.. Is there a page or something that lists what options come with each?

Charlie, Check out the one Neil Griffiths has for sale (If it is still for sale) it is a beautiful White turbo Soarer. I would buy it in a heart beat if I had the money. Maybe Neil can confirm if it is still for sale? It is in the third page of this thread if you missed it.

Well .. I bought it .. has TEMS etc etc .. only thing I can see that's missing is Traction Control.. There's a few little cosmetic problems but for the price I paid I'm very happy..

Good news Charlie, dosen't look like it needs much, other than some cosmetic bits n' bobs, and at the price you got it for, you'll be able to spend a bit of dosh on it to make it a good un, and still have a cheap Soarer............WELL DONE!
