Mk 3 Turbo vs. Non-Turbo

Aboyandhiscar · 07-03-2005, 02:14 AM

I know I'm asking a lot of questions, but I'd rather know before getting a car that won't last a month. Is the non-turbo more dependable? What are the pros and cons of the two versions? Does the 32 hp the turbo version adds make much difference? (Like actual acceleration numbers)

it depends on how you drive. i'm more likely to respect the turbo version due to its power. keep in mind you can only use premium fuel and keep up with maintenance. the non turbo can get more neglected abuse, but why buy that car for that reason.

I agree with Monki, if your worried about dependability, go get yourself a toyota camry to drive as your everyday driver, and the get the supra and just hit the gas and have a blast. Me i prefer the N/A, was never much into turbos, but things change who knows.
