I think Im pretty mature for my age. I have this car because I KNOW cars, and I can fix it myself. Not many my age go around wanting a TT, or even know anything about it. Others still cant afford one, or at least cant afford to maintain it. Im sure there will be some immature kids that get one, but I still believe it will be a largely mature and knowledgeable group in the future.
