Sorry to be so off topic but does someone know a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
I have the 2016 model with navigation, it’s very easy to use and I love how large the screen is when on navigation mode. This car turns heads even in Los Angels and I get many complements. My “Mini R8”
I would never have bought one years ago as they were a bit cliched (hairdresser etc etc), but it seems like a car that has matured through the generations. A grown up car that isn't seen as a bit of a novelty anymore.
I always wanted one but thought the same, I recently bought a 15 plate tdi, £26 annual road tax and manual... why wouldn't you want a manual? It's an s line ultra and it's great to drive and has 450 torque after a simple remap
Just picked up a manual 2017 one, 40k miles for £13k (RO67 UPS). What a steal. Such an enjoyment to drive. I love how everything can be controlled from the steering wheel. 4 driving modes. Great audio. Great visibility. Best car ive purchased.
How do you think the car holds up when u drive it 9/10 to 10/10? Is there a nice balance or is it audisteer (understeer) all day when cornering or pushing the car more? Or has it got a happie tail? Thats the only thing I am concernd about to be honest. Do want something you can really play with when u want to trow it into a corner. Would love to hear from u :)
@marcelmustang1 I've never taken it 9/10 yet buddy. Mat Armstrongs other half wrote hers off and I can understand why. If you don't have the spoiler up it's got a happy tail. In general though, great car and happy with the purchase. Check out the S3 if you would like something to throw around the lanes. One flew by me.
@@harrylloyd6955 haha thnx for the response. Guess I’ll have to take one for a serious testdrive and see what she does on the limit 🙏🏻. We can always change something on the allignment if neccesary 😁
@@HighPeakAutos hi matt I have just bought an white audi tt on a 59 plate I absolutely love it. Its been well looked after. And I will also continue to keep it excellent condition. But I have watched a lot of your videos and I take a lot on board of what you say. Now is it worth getting the oil changed in the s tronic gear box or is it a sealed unit 🤔 it's done 75000 miles. Sorry matt I am out of touch as I had a manual diesel golf for 16 before that. Cheers Andy 👍
Gorgeous car! I think 230 bhp with comfort, build quality and economy sounds like a perfect mixture. Your videos are great, keep making them like this 👌
I have just bought a 1.8 sport TFSI after selling my 15 year old roadster! It is lovely I really like it and at 68 years old I should have grown out of the sports car, but to be quite honest I could never go back to an ordinary car the TT is my favourite car ever thanks for the review x
I've recently bought a virtually identical car to this one (only the Quattro model) having had my M135i written off in a flood. The stand out positives for me are the ride is better- far less crashy than the BMW despite being on larger rims and the handling is really sharp. Brakes feels strong despite being smaller disks and calipers than my old car. Cabin build quality is another level too- I thought the BMW had a good cabin but there were some cheap feeling plastics in lower areas. And I have the Matrix LED headlights which are incredible. Some negatives though- fuel economy seems worse than the m135i despite being 1 litre, 2 cylinders and 100 bhp down on that car. And I can't believe how tight Audi are with the options- I've only got rear parking sensors and there's not even a radar display (my 2008 Scirocco had that FFS!), no power folding mirrors, no centre arm rest (on an S-Line? WTF?! I don't remember the last car I owned that didn't have this) and the fake engine noise is kind of annoying- it doesn't come close to the sound of that BMW straight 6. But the biggest plus is the look of the thing, it's stunning definitely a car you glance back at after you've parked!
“Cheap plastics in lower areas”. Yes, areas of the cabin you don’t look at OR touch. Wow. How DID we manage to survive with car interiors being full of plastic in the 1980s ? Millennials started all this obsession with soft touch interiors. They have a nervous breakdown if life isn’t perfect.
@@oddities-whatnot Did my comment hit a nerve? The plastic parts I'm referring to are the trim around the gear lever, hand brake and glove compartment in the BMW so yes, you touch them quite a lot actually. The Audi is much higher quality in these areas which is why I mentioned it- I'm comparing 2 premium brand cars and it's clearly an area where the Audi is better. As for your attempted "Millennial" dig I sadly don't fall into that category. My first car was a 1978 mini and I've had plenty of cars from the 80s and 90s. If you're not bothered by cabin quality there's plenty of modern cars to choose from- even VW have gone backwards recently.
Super car. I'm not a massive fan of Audi (drivers tbh) but the TT is a great motor, for sure. I agree with other comments - you could easily be on primetime TV doing this .... absolute natural.
An engaging review with a nice, honest presentation style. Having driven the same car and now as an owner of a TTS you hit the nail on the head on all counts. Now subscribed. Keep up the great work!
I had a 65 reg TTS cabrio and it was fantastic. Comfortable, great acceleration, handles curves at speed with ease and absolutely beautiful. I traded it in for the only better TT; a 66 reg TTRS cabrio. You can't find a better sports cabrio for under £100k. Stupid fast but comfy as a soft shirt.
Another cracking video. I was waiting and waiting for the hairdresser cliché and, at 9 minutes in I thought he's avoided it! Still, good effort at 9 minutes 15.
I got 08 mk2 tt diesel quattro, it is quick. I get a minimum of 50mpg. Seen it go up to about 65mpg. They are not cheap mine with 111,000 miles cost me about £7k
Just checking the US MPG is 21 -31. You said 40MPG I wish. I have to say you are the most consistent moderator. Your tone and pace are always very consistent. It is impossible to tell if you are having a bad day or a great day. You are ready to present the news man
Over the years, I ve driven all sorts of cars. A wide range of power and handling capabilities. Back in 2012 my wife bought a 6 month old TTS. When I drove it I got all the hairdresser comments. But that thing was a B road weapon. The perfect mixture of handling and punch out of the corners. It's still right up there for me in terms of point to point speed but still had the civility. Was so fast and capable.
Had a S3 2009 manual and loved it, abused it (daily in "red" RPM) and put 100.000km on it in 2 years and never had any issues... in 2013 I bought a S5 automatic V6....HATED it... (aut.) 2 months later I sold the car (BIG waste of money)... So I promised myself to NEVER buy a Audi again because I was extremely disappointed... now after driving other cars I really missed my S3....So I got a TTs manual mid 2016 model, manual....and.....LOVE it...!!!!
Keeping the interior clean and minimalistic was one of the best decisions Audi made with this car - and has kept it looking fresh, even in 2023. I’d have one 👍
The Audi TTS is best car I’ve ever owned; it’s exciting to drive a car that does everything perfectly. Taking care of a car like that is a joy in itself! I’ve owned a 2012 TT Quattro in Dakota Gray (copper-ish in the sun) and a 2016 TTS Quattro in Glacier White! Lost all taste for anything else.
What a great sports car which will not brake the bank 35 40 mpg and only £ 160 a year road tax that's better then my fiesta only getting 33mpg on average in my car great review matt
I had a tt series one about 14 yrs ago, 4 wheel drive and round the twists nr we’re i live , pushing it hard round the lanes , wouldn’t have been much behind my Subaru wrx sti , the road holding was fantastic, the Bose stereo was brill, hairdressers car my arse it was a good drivers car for sure , I recently bought a pug RCZ, that from the side view does look slightly like a tt, ,I’m gonna do a review on my channel soon , it won’t be to your review standards , infact it will be crap , but I owe it to the dealer from whom I bought it off , cheers buddy great cars Audi, cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧
One of the most underrated sporty cars because of it's undeserved "hairdresser's car" image. They'll become future classics in 10-15 years time after production ends in 2021/22.
Is it a coincidence that we both uploaded videos with current production models this week? The TT is quite different from the MG ZS, though... I still quite like it of course, and this is a great review, as usual! Thanks again, Matt.
I bought a 2017 quattro roadster S line in 2019 and am generally very pleased with it. It does everything well but without much driver involvement . As you said its fuel economy is excellent.
Great review. I love my 16 TT, it’s just the fun type of sports car I was looking for. It’s probably not as dynamic as a Cayman but I don’t really care. It’s gorgeous looking with a contemporary interior design and lowish running costs. Shame that this generation will be the last.
High Peak Autos jumbo sized SUV, pick ups and compact SUVs dominate the streets over here in the US. It’s been about 2 weeks since I last saw a TT on the streets over here in Florida
we had a Mk1 TT (180bhp) that i bought with 122k miles and it used to chew through oil faster than petrol. loved the look of it and the amazing Bose stereo but it never quite felt quick enough. The later models seem much more sorted and desirable and far more affordable to run than the equivalent Porsche or M series car.
My Favourite tuber is back! Im very fond of the Gen 1 TT, it looks great still today, and with the humble Golf underpinnings its reliable and cheap to maintain (im looking at you Porsche Boxter!) Thanks for the video.
just got the diesel version in White, auto 20 inch alloys the best car ive ever owned, the Sat Nav is excellent and io love the heated seats, ill be keeping this for many years, even as a second car in electric times
You really are a natural with your reviews and your obvious knowledge and love of cars is infectious, i bet you could test anything and still make it interesting to watch...Keep it up
This made me jump the gun and buy a used mk3 instead of going company eletric i4/tesla3. Decided to enjoy the last few more years of real "driving" before it phases out 😅⚡️
I bought a one year old TT with very low mileage. I love many things about it -- the models sold in the US all come with sat nav and all are quattro. I have been keeping the rear seats folded and can get quite a lot of cargo in it. My main - or only - complaint is how painful the ride is because of poorly maintained city streets and speed bumps. I had wanted 18 inch wheels, but I was vrry lucky to find this car at all.
Great review, just a heads up for people interested in this car you can actually get the sat nav programmed into a car that came factory without one. I had it done and it cost me £230.
@@mukhtarrasdi9542 Hey brother, I have 2019 Black Edition with a few extra like red brakes, parking camera, heated seats. I installed Audi UTR dashcam as well for protection. Sorry I error mine is 2019, not 2020 👍
I get my 4 year old in a car seat in the back absolutely no problem. My (big) 8 year old fits in the back too. Wouldn't try an adult though but no probs for my two brats. And it's not a faff, it's quite easy. Most reviewers don't bother checking, they just form an opinion they then pass off as fact.
To be fair, I wouldn't mind a diesel sports car, with the right exhaust they can sound amazing (like a tank), and I like having low down pulling power. And paying less for fuel (and probably road tax) is never a bad thing.
Plus driving into London is prohibitively expensive now if you have a slightly older diesel because of the ULEZ. Can only be a matter if time before it's the same in other cities too.
Good review. I have a mark 1 . You said good but mark 2 looks better..really? I think the mark 1 with its retro styling inside and out still looks great today. The mark 2 has all the contours of the mark 1 smoothed out and looks a more bland car to me. I like the mark 3, except the infotainment all straight ahead of you, I'd prefer it to the side.
Great review Matt, just about to order a new TT 2.0 tfsi, before they stop making them. I’ve had 3 SUVs and realise we all don’t need to be driving them. Keep up the informative, entertaining and funny reviews. It’s true what others say, you should have your own show. 👍
It took me quite a few minutes to find the AC dials last time I drove it. Although it is 230hp, it is pretty fast car. Good daily A to B car with performance at your call.
The point of keyless is you don't need to faff about taking your keys out of your pocket to open and start the car. Just jump in and go. No idea why people want somewhere to store the key, it defeats the whole point of keyless go 😂
@@HighPeakAutos haha me neither Bro, but most people I know carry their car key in their jeans or tracky pocket easy enough with their wallet, but most people aren't running a car business with many, many keys so I can see that you'd not have space 😂
Bought my 2.0 tfsi in white on strength of this review not disappointed ,only thing I don't agree with is sat Nav and carplay can be retro fitted for around £130 great review fantastic channel
@@philnelson2607 hi Phil I had it fitted by a sub contractor to rtec VW Audi independent in Swansea took around 2 hours,I rarely use car play ,but sat Nav is always on as it makes dash look better and always "impresses" passengers
Hello, I'm in the same case you were when you wrote this. Had a TT MK2 and now have a MX5 ND RF. But I miss some power. So I'm hesitating between TT mk3 (or TTS), or a Z4 MK2 35i or 35is. What did you bought and why ?
I have the mk2 tt in black with 19inch wheels etc. Keep thinking about swapping it for a different car but like you said it's the perfect sports car for everyday. May just buy a low mileage mk3 to be honest.
Great review of this beautiful machine. You're quickly becoming the new Matt Watson, (without the corny jokes, daft looks, and goofy personality). 🤪 *P.S:* Please do a verses series. Keep up the great work!
Currently torn between this and a 2 series, would be my only car and the hatch boot is tempting. Only thing is the bmw's rear seats are a fair bit more usable in the rare cases I'd need them
Like if you prefer the MK2 design! I own a 2008 and would rather have a top of the range mk2 to an mk3. The round and curvy lines are exactly what made the TT popular in the first place. I also prefer the interior classic design of the previous generation.
If your in dynamic mode all day that would explain why the steering is sluggish cause its meant to keep to wheels firmly stable at high speeds. individual mode is what want. The steering rides on ice
Ok I'm going to avoid the expected hairdressers and poodle comments.... these are genuinely great motors, if you've not got 2.4 kids or you just want something for the weekend (sir) you can't go wrong.... if you want something a little older the 3.2 Quattro is great fun.... as usual nice review dude....
@@HighPeakAutos For me its a daily and perfect... don't have kids but my older nephews do fit for short rides. (13 and 16) my surfboards fit perfectly and even did a road trip to France and it fits a lot of gear when rear seats are down... in all its the perfect sports car for me. Check my Chanel for footage.
Only thing I don't like about mine is in winter the windows freeze and you can't get in cos the door won't open - more than once, I've had to climb in through the boot.
Excellent review of a brand I dont usually consider. My only complaint is that you fail to let rip with a Brewer style howl/screech/yelp when you floor the accelerator!
I think TTs are underrated. With a stronger engine and 4WD they are pretty fast but compact enough to toss them around on narrow roads where a wide supercar would be useless. Rather than an Audi R8, I'd take a TT and a Morgan +4 for sunny days...
You nailed it agin, big fan of the TT new shape, I had one for few months very sporty, got the aggressive look and girlfriend friendly too 😂, This is by far the best channel in my TH-cam,the choice of cars to review is spot on mate 👌 Looking forward to the next one as always
Can I afford this car? Sure if I save all my money for a year. Should I get it??? Damn I don’t know I don’t wanna be broke forever but I love it, I gotta get one.
Nice review. Spot on summary about its daily sports car status. There’s only one thing that I would change about your videos: please sit a bit closer to the steering wheel. Your arms are completely straight which limits your control. No doubt I’ll get flamed for this, but I honestly think it would make you look more professional 👍 Love the channel.
The diesel TT S -Line is a superb car, loads of Torque and excellent for overtaking on motorways and dual carriageways, when you need to use the power it’s there, low tax, great mpg and it isn’t noisy inside the car, why would you need a petrol?
@@HighPeakAutos I loved mine - mine was the MK1.5 version with xenon lights, with titanium coloured surrounds, 9?? spoke alloys, and a wicked Olive Green colour - back when TT's were proper special !! Mind, got bored after 12 months and bought a S2 Lotus Elise 😀
As much as I enjoy your video, I will have to disagree with your point on the interior. The one that looks old fashion it's actually the mk3, conpared to the mk2 one, which if you replace that old radio with a 9 inch touchscreen stereo, it looks much better than the interior of the mk3. I own an Mk3 now and all I can say is I miss a lot my old interior on the MK2.
Now who do I know that could hand me £20k so I could buy this car but then by now you will have sold it on to someone that can appreciate it, as today I've been looking at TT's and TTS but everyone wants ridiculously high prices even for high milers. Oh well maybe in the next life I'll be in a better position to buy one - Cheers Matt.
These are quite cheap on Auto Trader although I would only consider the Quattro version for the extra grip. I had the Mk1 plus I’ve had Subarus so I’m used to AWD. Nice scenery.
Thank you for this video, as usual excellent. Do I trade in my old 1 series m sport 2l diesel convertible from 2012 in for a TT 2l petrol? My wife's car is a 2015 Audi A3 Sport convertible and our 6th Audi since the mid 1990s, 2 80s, 1 A6 avant, 2 A4s and the A3, so I think we like them but I've loved the old school BMW

The later models seem much more sorted and desirable and far more affordable to run than the equivalent Porsche or M series car.
I agree! The MK2 TTS was perfect and the MK3 is very good too
Good stuff. Everyone should have a TT. I own a 2008 TT (S-Line) with the 3.2L naturally aspirated engine and I LOVE every second when I am driving it.
They’re great cars
Once more a great video Matt. Thoroughly enjoyable honest review.
Cheers

Cheers Mike!
My Favourite tuber is back! Im very fond of the Gen 1 TT, it looks great still today, and with the humble Golf underpinnings its reliable and cheap to maintain (im looking at you Porsche Boxter!) Thanks for the video.
Thanks! I'm going to do a vid with a Porsche Boxster when I get a nice one in stock :)
just got the diesel version in White, auto 20 inch alloys the best car ive ever owned, the Sat Nav is excellent and io love the heated seats, ill be keeping this for many years, even as a second car in electric times
You really are a natural with your reviews and your obvious knowledge and love of cars is infectious, i bet you could test anything and still make it interesting to watch...Keep it up
Thanks for watching!
This made me jump the gun and buy a used mk3 instead of going company eletric i4/tesla3. Decided to enjoy the last few more years of real "driving" before it phases out 😅⚡️
Very nice! Did you go for a TTS or just a TT?
@@HighPeakAutos went for the exact same model you're driving 😅 2ltr S-line Quattro petrol. Coming from A180d, c250d (ex merc) this is a big jump :)
@@dk206 very nice. Enjoy
Superb down to earth, no nonsense review. Good job.
Glad you liked it!
I bought a one year old TT with very low mileage. I love many things about it -- the models sold in the US all come with sat nav and all are quattro. I have been keeping the rear seats folded and can get quite a lot of cargo in it. My main - or only - complaint
is how painful the ride is because of poorly maintained city streets and speed bumps. I had wanted 18 inch wheels, but I was vrry lucky to find this car at all.
Great review, just a heads up for people interested in this car you can actually get the sat nav programmed into a car that came factory without one. I had it done and it cost me £230.
I've had it done too for £250
@@HighPeakAutos Is that via Audi?
Is it easy enough to get the sat nav uploaded then ? Audi specialist garage or need to go somewhere else ?
I spent 5 years in a TTS, got my 2019 TTS for another 5 years. Love the coupe..
Great choice! I've just driven a 2018 TTS. Loved it
Well done enjoy drive Tts 2017
@@mukhtarrasdi9542 Hey brother, I have 2019 Black Edition with a few extra like red brakes, parking camera, heated seats. I installed Audi UTR dashcam as well for protection.
Sorry I error mine is 2019, not 2020 👍
@@mukhtarrasdi9542 before my 2019, I had 2014/2015 TTS silver. Best car.
I get my 4 year old in a car seat in the back absolutely no problem. My (big) 8 year old fits in the back too. Wouldn't try an adult though but no probs for my two brats. And it's not a faff, it's quite easy. Most reviewers don't bother checking, they just form an opinion they then pass off as fact.
To be fair, I wouldn't mind a diesel sports car, with the right exhaust they can sound amazing (like a tank), and I like having low down pulling power. And paying less for fuel (and probably road tax) is never a bad thing.
They do have their perks but its like non-alcoholic beer - its just not right :)
Plus driving into London is prohibitively expensive now if you have a slightly older diesel because of the ULEZ. Can only be a matter if time before it's the same in other cities too.
Excellent review of my next purchase sir! Agreed that Audi have finally perfected the TT.. Great video👌
Loving these reviews man 👊🏻 keep it up ! More Range Rover content if possible 🙃
Thanks! I know... Its been a while since I've filmed with a Range Rover - I'll have to make up for it soon
Good review. I have a mark 1 . You said good but mark 2 looks better..really? I think the mark 1 with its retro styling inside and out still looks great today. The mark 2 has all the contours of the mark 1 smoothed out and looks a more bland car to me. I like the mark 3, except the infotainment all straight ahead of you, I'd prefer it to the side.
Man, Absolutely gorgeous. Wish I could own one.
Thank you for this review!
Thanks for watching!
Great review Matt, just about to order a new TT 2.0 tfsi, before they stop making them. I’ve had 3 SUVs and realise we all don’t need to be driving them.
Keep up the informative, entertaining and funny reviews. It’s true what others say, you should have your own show. 👍
It took me quite a few minutes to find the AC dials last time I drove it. Although it is 230hp, it is pretty fast car. Good daily A to B car with performance at your call.
Thats right. They're very good cars to use everyday
The point of keyless is you don't need to faff about taking your keys out of your pocket to open and start the car. Just jump in and go. No idea why people want somewhere to store the key, it defeats the whole point of keyless go 😂
I don't wish to wear camo trousers with a million pockets. Its not just the car key to carry; its my phone, wallet, house and work keys etc...
@@HighPeakAutos haha me neither Bro, but most people I know carry their car key in their jeans or tracky pocket easy enough with their wallet, but most people aren't running a car business with many, many keys so I can see that you'd not have space 😂
@@1one2two3threetwoone haha true
Just bought a new one in Australia
Great car to drive and as a pilot I feel very at home in the cockpit
Might be my wife’s next car, only problem with that is she has to set up the sat nav herself, could be interesting?
Bought my 2.0 tfsi in white on strength of this review not disappointed ,only thing I don't agree with is sat Nav and carplay can be retro fitted for around £130 great review fantastic channel
Hi Sean you had CarPlay retrofitted? Who did it for you mate?
@@philnelson2607 hi Phil I had it fitted by a sub contractor to rtec VW Audi independent in Swansea took around 2 hours,I rarely use car play ,but sat Nav is always on as it makes dash look better and always "impresses" passengers
Love these reviews thanks for doing them. Would you ever do a z4 review? Was looking at getting the one from around 2011. Cheers
Thanks for watching! I've not had a Z4 for a while, but when I get one I'll do a vid. Check out 'itsJoel' on youtube - he's knows all about Z4's :)
Hello, I'm in the same case you were when you wrote this. Had a TT MK2 and now have a MX5 ND RF. But I miss some power. So I'm hesitating between TT mk3 (or TTS), or a Z4 MK2 35i or 35is. What did you bought and why ?
Another no B/S review ,you my good man should be on Top Gear !!!
Haha thanks!
I have the mk2 tt in black with 19inch wheels etc.
Keep thinking about swapping it for a different car but like you said it's the perfect sports car for everyday.
May just buy a low mileage mk3 to be honest.
Great review of this beautiful machine.
You're quickly becoming the new Matt Watson, (without the corny jokes, daft looks, and goofy personality). 🤪
*P.S:*
Please do a verses series.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks!
Currently torn between this and a 2 series, would be my only car and the hatch boot is tempting. Only thing is the bmw's rear seats are a fair bit more usable in the rare cases I'd need them
Did you decide on one or the other?
Like if you prefer the MK2 design! I own a 2008 and would rather have a top of the range mk2 to an mk3. The round and curvy lines are exactly what made the TT popular in the first place. I also prefer the interior classic design of the previous generation.
If your in dynamic mode all day that would explain why the steering is sluggish cause its meant to keep to wheels firmly stable at high speeds. individual mode is what want. The steering rides on ice
Ok I'm going to avoid the expected hairdressers and poodle comments.... these are genuinely great motors, if you've not got 2.4 kids or you just want something for the weekend (sir) you can't go wrong.... if you want something a little older the 3.2 Quattro is great fun.... as usual nice review dude....
I totally agree!
Nice review, honest, to the point and un biased.
Love the review, torn between the merc a class and the Audi TT… any thoughts? Which are the most reliable?
For sure buy one... but go for the RS version it rocks!! Had one for 2 years and still loving it..
Good choice! Whats it like to live with?
@@HighPeakAutos For me its a daily and perfect... don't have kids but my older nephews do fit for short rides. (13 and 16) my surfboards fit perfectly and even did a road trip to France and it fits a lot of gear when rear seats are down... in all its the perfect sports car for me. Check my Chanel for footage.
Retro fitting is around £600 to £700. Good review, however the car is been around for nearly five years, hence old technology now... Keep it up.
I've had sat nav installed for £250! I'm very happy with it
@@HighPeakAutos back in late 2014, I purchased my first one, but since it recently came out back then sat nav was £1750. I'm now on my third one!
Another really good review. How would a tall person get on, please?
perfect boy racer/mid life crisis car! usually up my arse wanting to race everyone??? great review as always
Thanks for watching! You're right :)
Was it you I was stuck behind doing 30 in a 60 zone?
MarkJT1000 I was more likely to have been doing 60 in a 30 and I have the points to prove it😂
@@cartman668222 Well was it you I was stuck behind doing 60 in a 30 zone? 🤣

Only thing I don't like about mine is in winter the windows freeze and you can't get in cos the door won't open - more than once, I've had to climb in through the boot.
Malnourished kids! Ha like that Matt, when are you going to do a stand up spot? Lol Great stuff mate!
Cheers :)
Excellent review of a brand I dont usually consider. My only complaint is that you fail to let rip with a Brewer style howl/screech/yelp when you floor the accelerator!
Very good and informative video. My only concern is that your voice comes up very quite at times. Maybe use a better microphone. Thanks for the video.
Nice review, funny I’ve always fancied a TT as my ‘weekend fun’ car, something to think about...
Thanks for watching :)
At least it doesn't have speed cams! You'd be looking at it all the time in the uk
The mk2 3.2 v6 are dirt cheap now, well worth a look. I'd have one if I could afford to run it to work and back
Yeah they're tempting aren't they
I think TTs are underrated. With a stronger engine and 4WD they are pretty fast but compact enough to toss them around on narrow roads where a wide supercar would be useless. Rather than an Audi R8, I'd take a TT and a Morgan +4 for sunny days...
I agree :)
Excellent review.
Excellent review, keep up the good work! Your review makes me wanna get a TT on my next car purchase 😁
You nailed it agin, big fan of the TT new shape, I had one for few months very sporty, got the aggressive look and girlfriend friendly too 😂,
This is by far the best channel in my TH-cam,the choice of cars to review is spot on mate 👌
Looking forward to the next one as always
Thanks for watching! :)
What are the reliability like on these between 90-120k miles? from the 2014 Model?
Can I afford this car?
Sure if I save all my money for a year.
Should I get it???
Damn I don’t know I don’t wanna be broke forever but I love it, I gotta get one.
I mean you don’t have to save up and then get it... you can always lease it.
Nice review. Spot on summary about its daily sports car status.
There’s only one thing that I would change about your videos: please sit a bit closer to the steering wheel. Your arms are completely straight which limits your control. No doubt I’ll get flamed for this, but I honestly think it would make you look more professional 👍
Love the channel.
Superb review, totally professional and well informed. Thanks.
Wasn't even on my radar! Great video, thanks for uploading 😄
They're very good! Thanks for watching :)
The diesel TT S -Line is a superb car, loads of Torque and excellent for overtaking on motorways and dual carriageways, when you need to use the power it’s there, low tax, great mpg and it isn’t noisy inside the car, why would you need a petrol?
I recently brought an Audi S3 8P 09. What are your thoughts on these? My first car with some power and something other than a Ford!
Thanks man! Driving mk2 now and loved your video.
I bought a nearly new first generation TTC225 back in 2002 - that cost me £22,500 back then - that's a good buy !!
I love the first gen TT, especially the 225 with the twin exhausts
@@HighPeakAutos I loved mine - mine was the MK1.5 version with xenon lights, with titanium coloured surrounds, 9?? spoke alloys, and a wicked Olive Green colour - back when TT's were proper special !! Mind, got bored after 12 months and bought a S2 Lotus Elise 😀
As much as I enjoy your video, I will have to disagree with your point on the interior.
The one that looks old fashion it's actually the mk3, conpared to the mk2 one, which if you replace that old radio with a 9 inch touchscreen stereo, it looks much better than the interior of the mk3.
I own an Mk3 now and all I can say is I miss a lot my old interior on the MK2.
Now who do I know that could hand me £20k so I could buy this car but then by now you will have sold it on to someone that can appreciate it, as today I've been looking at TT's and TTS but everyone wants ridiculously high prices even for high milers.
Oh well maybe in the next life I'll be in a better position to buy one - Cheers Matt.
I like how simplified you made the video
GREAT video once again... can you do a VW Scirocco if you get hold of one please?
Keep up the great work.
Next time I get one I will :)
These are quite cheap on Auto Trader although I would only consider the Quattro version for the extra grip. I had the Mk1 plus I’ve had Subarus so I’m used to AWD. Nice scenery.
Lovely Jubbly, I think the white paint suits the car so do the diamond cut alloys.
I agree!
My daughter just sold hers , it was a brilliant car miss it like hell
Thank you for this video, as usual excellent. Do I trade in my old 1 series m sport 2l diesel convertible from 2012 in for a TT 2l petrol? My wife's car is a 2015 Audi A3 Sport convertible and our 6th Audi since the mid 1990s, 2 80s, 1 A6 avant, 2 A4s and the A3, so I think we like them but I've loved the old school BMW
Engines of TTs are very easy to tuning, so from mark 2 2,0TFSI You can get easy 300ps without TTS
I think your reviews are spot on
Thanks!
Great reviews as always, really enjoy your honest take on cars. Thinking of getting a TT would you recommend a TT s-line or a TTs?
