RE: 944turbo v. ur-q

>ok folks.  I need your help... can anyone give me an honest (ok,
>slightly biased) opinion on what the advantages are of an ur-q (besides
>the obvious quattro) over a 944t?  

This comparison was done by several magazines (mostly european) back when
both cars were new ... as I recall, the Ur-q came out on top pretty much
every time.  Of course, that's euro-spec cars; U.S.-spec ars are another
story altogether.  Compared to my friend's stock '86 944t, my stock '85 Ur-q
is a slug ... if the world was a perfect place, though, I'd have one of
each!  [What's that?  I'm buying a house and can't possibly afford one at
the moment?  Oh, yeah ... I forgot] :^(

>waddabout insurance?

Thanks to the confusing VIN numbers, both my insurance company (Allstate)
and the Arizona DMV think mine is a plain-jane Coupe GT.  I pay about
$500/yr. for insurance (100/300, comprehensive & collision) and the license
fee last year was all of $73 ... incredibly, my girlfriend paid more for her
beater '89 VW Fox wagon!
