Default Well, er, ummm... whaddya waiTTing for? Get one - and join us!

Do think twice about getting a Neiman Marcus limited edition though... a few have had issues with the transmissions and gear box.

Other than that, get a Brilliant Black one and you'll have the fastest color! :-)

Default That's what I did..........>>>

Had a mildly tricked M2, but at the time needed a traveling car. TT was perfect for that. Now that I'm not traveling any more, doing lots of mods to tighten up the handling and performance.
The TT is a whole different class of car. The M2 was fun and handled like a slot car, but it's still a cheap japanese car construction wise.

Oh Man...Love the black!! How's the paint on the TT? The Miata paint job has been a huge disapointment. After only 4k the nose is covered with paint chips. That's one reason I'm considering defecting.

Default New paints are a problem....>>

Miata's have always had lousy paint. Both mine did. The TT has much higher quality paintwork but you will find the same chipping issues here. Modern tree-hugger approved, water based solvent paints are very "soft" and chip easily. Because of the barn door front profile of the TT this becomes noticeable quickly. Many of us have gone with the invisible bra's ie: Stoneguard or Invincashield. These work and will protect your sizeable investment well into the ownership experience.
