How long have you owned your Turbo?

Its similar but also different! - slightly bigger rear seats, almost too much grip - firmly sprung but seems to ride better the harder you attack rough roads. Its similar in that it is quite boosty - getting c270BHP from a 1.6 3 pot in sport it is rear biased but it is still 4wd. Shorter geared and 6 speed but I still tend to keep the revs in the top half of the range.
Steering lacks feel compared to a 944 but better than a lot of new cars (once you turn off the lane keeping - long press button on the wheel). Boot is a lot less practical thana 944 with rear seats up. Rear seats bigger than 944 but adults (or child sized adults) don't enjoy them. Great brakes but if you lean on them it flashes the hazards.
Overall weight similar - its not going to last as long without rust proofing on suspensions arms etc. Some of the differences depend on how baggy
I've been thinking about running fewer cars and bikes lately, and it seems the Yaris would cost less to insure and tax than the 944. Plus it would have the 10 year Toyota warranty...
