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 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
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”
@@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 👍
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
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
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 👌
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 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.
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.
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!
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
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....
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
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
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.
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 😁
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'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.
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...!!!!
Great real-world review. I'm tempted to buy one, but am a bit worried that it will be too small to carry some stuff. Although those folding rear seats look useful.
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.
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.
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 🇬🇧
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 😅⚡️
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 😂
Cheers for this. Torn between TT or TTS - both are available in my price range, it's just whether I risk the higher mileage on the TTS. Do you know if they suffer any sizeable problems over 40K miles? Love the vids, btw. Your presenting style is superb.
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 wanted one of these a hell of a lot. I went to test drive it and knew it wasn't for me. I'm 6'5" 270 pounds. It just doesn't work. Shame because it was awesome.
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
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
The problem is the black interior...why the black interior Mr German ?....its depressing...the Itaiian stuff may not be so tight to drive...but it is a lot more airy
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 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.
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.
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.
It seems to me gone are the days of a classy looking sports cars as this presenter states this Audi looks Angry and aggressive, I agree but why should it be? I rather have a sports car that is attractive and stylish.
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.
Hi bud, brilliant review! This car is tempting me alot.... Seen a manual but u really want a quattro.... Is it really that much if a difference in the drive for the extra couple of ££? Subscribed BTW! 🤜🏿💥
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.
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.
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.
if it is anything like the mk2 no, had a 3.2 litre mk2 TT and hated it. handled poorly, even if it sounded great doing it the things acceleration was pitiful for the size of engine and at 90+ it felt so unstable I got it to 100 once then never took it over 90 again (to put in perspective I've maxed out a golf R in wet weather and it felt planted) . Oh and if you have a tall mate in the back and you crash there gonna be scalped like the faced red Indians....... If you have the money buy the golf R or sirocco instead
@@HighPeakAutos Then what is the point of keyless entry to the vehicle when the vehicle is always vulnerable if precaution is not taken inside your own home? Common sense tells me this is stupidity.
We got two small wallets off Ebay for about £5 or £6. You keep the key in the front part (and in your pocket) then slip it into the back part of the wallet if you are leaving the key in the house say at night. In practice it's really easy and works well for us.
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.
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.
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
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.
3:40 the fact the screen is there but you have to pay for navigation is disgusting behaviour 😅 shame you can't just mirror your phone via mirror cast or WiFi that's the automotive industry worst fear no more commission on £2k sat navs
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.
Be very careful b4 you purchase any of the versions on offer , they are riddled with expensive to repair issues , oil consumption excessive, cam chain tensioners wear early , window mechanisms fail , windows freezing in the frame in winter , suspension knocks , electric issues especially rear lights , boot window seals fail and the rest .DO YOUR RESEARCH B4 BUYING .

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.
Thats absolutely right :)
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

Cheers for this. Torn between TT or TTS - both are available in my price range, it's just whether I risk the higher mileage on the TTS. Do you know if they suffer any sizeable problems over 40K miles? Love the vids, btw. Your presenting style is superb.
Thanks for watching! I've not had any issues with the older TTS, I can only assume the new one is even better
@@HighPeakAutos cheers for the response, may well dive into TTS territory!
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.
Haha coincidence! Cheers for watching :)
@@HighPeakAutos, it definitely wasn't planned by either of us, was it?
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!
I wanted one of these a hell of a lot. I went to test drive it and knew it wasn't for me. I'm 6'5" 270 pounds. It just doesn't work. Shame because it was awesome.
A very nice clean example 👌👌👌👌👌👌 I bet that car doesn't hang around in your showroom for long. Reg`s Steve.
Cheers!
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
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 agree! Very cheap to live with. Thanks for watching :)
Nice review, funny I’ve always fancied a TT as my ‘weekend fun’ car, something to think about...
Thanks for watching :)
What are the reliability like on these between 90-120k miles? from the 2014 Model?
The problem is the black interior...why the black interior Mr German ?....its depressing...the Itaiian stuff may not be so tight to drive...but it is a lot more airy
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 ?
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.
Fine I think I’ll finance for one next year was able to find a good deal online.
Mk1 is a real looker but there are some sheds for sale,tread carefully....
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 :)
A very nice car with super dark tinted windows, but can’t run without those. CHICK 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.
It seems to me gone are the days of a classy looking sports cars as this presenter states this Audi looks Angry and aggressive,
I agree but why should it be? I rather have a sports car that is attractive and stylish.
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.
Hi bud, brilliant review! This car is tempting me alot.... Seen a manual but u really want a quattro.... Is it really that much if a difference in the drive for the extra couple of ££? Subscribed BTW! 🤜🏿💥
Thanks! They’re great cars
@@HighPeakAutos I'm I settling for 2nd best with a manual tho in ur opinion?? 🤦🏿♂️🙆🏿♂️
What a great review. Would you recommend the manual over the auto gearbox?
I always thought the old ones where hair dressers cars ?!🤷🏽♂️
over 40k for a sports car with no satnav? Have a word with yourselves Audi.
I prefer it without. Google maps on your phone is superior to any bar Tesla's.
nice gimmick free olde style car review - perhaps a little more passion when you review the S and hopefully RS too :)
Thanks!
I think Matt at CarWow should be giving you a job, very good honest and entertaining reviews!
Haha Cheers!
Is it a good buy ? Now ? With 120000km
Nice car, mechanics are great
Nice car but has the whiff of the estate agent about it...completely unfair but there we are
Haha yes you're right... it has that stigma
Superb down to earth, no nonsense review. Good job.
Glad you liked it!
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.
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? 🤣
MarkJT1000 probably
I would never buy the 1.8 or 2.0tfsi. major problems with the pistons which makes the oilconsumption extremely high.
I think that issue was resolved by the time the 3rd gen was launched
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.
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 ?
Does the 2015 MK3 still have the same engine as the 2014 MK2?
if it is anything like the mk2 no, had a 3.2 litre mk2 TT and hated it. handled poorly, even if it sounded great doing it the things acceleration was pitiful for the size of engine and at 90+ it felt so unstable I got it to 100 once then never took it over 90 again (to put in perspective I've maxed out a golf R in wet weather and it felt planted) . Oh and if you have a tall mate in the back and you crash there gonna be scalped like the faced red Indians....... If you have the money buy the golf R or sirocco instead
Hahaha always funny great video once again !!!...however I hate electronic handbrake
Cheers! Thanks for watching. I'm not a fan of e/brakes either but they're in everything these days
“It is a little bit clinical “ of course it is . This is because A ) it’s German and B) it’s and Audi !! 😊
Haha yeah that's true
Who these days buy car without rear dipping mirror or climate control?
Hi I’ve got a mk2 2ltr TFSI, I love it but thinking about buying the mk3 2ltr Quattro, what’s your thoughts as I’m really questioning myself ???
How safe are keyless cars from being stolen by obtaining the code?
You should keep them inside a metal tin at home so thieves cannot get into the car using the keys signal
@@HighPeakAutos Then what is the point of keyless entry to the vehicle when the vehicle is always vulnerable if precaution is not taken inside your own home?
Common sense tells me this is stupidity.
I don't know the answer to that. Its more convenient for the driver but opens the car up to easier theft
We got two small wallets off Ebay for about £5 or £6. You keep the key in the front part (and in your pocket) then slip it into the back part of the wallet if you are leaving the key in the house say at night. In practice it's really easy and works well for us.
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!
I think the reviews are spot on, but I enjoy the humourous manner in which he delivers the reviews the most. This guy can sell me any car any day.
a stock 230hp remapped quattro would probably be very close to the TTS and you won't have to deal with expensive magnetic ride shocks
Thats true!
My thoughts exactly , i have a BMW M135i and was thinking if a MK2 TTS next but a MK3 TT quatro with a map would do me just right i think :)
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.
I agree! I love the TTS. I have a 2012 TTS too
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
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?
Wasn't even on my radar! Great video, thanks for uploading 😄
They're very good! Thanks for watching :)
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
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.
3:40 the fact the screen is there but you have to pay for navigation is disgusting behaviour 😅 shame you can't just mirror your phone via mirror cast or WiFi that's the automotive industry worst fear no more commission on £2k sat navs
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.
I agree! The MK2 TTS was perfect and the MK3 is very good too
Be very careful b4 you purchase any of the versions on offer , they are riddled with expensive to repair issues , oil consumption excessive, cam chain tensioners wear early , window mechanisms fail , windows freezing in the frame in winter , suspension knocks , electric issues especially rear lights , boot window seals fail and the rest .DO YOUR RESEARCH B4 BUYING .
