Great to read everyone’s positive opinions on the Audi TT. It’s a gem of a car and I’ve loved every mile I’ve driven in them particularly with a manual gearbox. I’ve owned two of these and my current one has 126,000 miles on the clock and it’s as sweet as anything. I also own a Porsche Cayman 981 for summer driving, and if I’m honest, the TT is just as enjoyable to drive. Oh, and I bought an under counter fridge delivered to work and it went in the back to get it home.
Purists are ignorant. The DSG is the perfect gearbox. It shifts perfectly, every time, and faster than any manual, and more importantly, it will not allow you to run over redline, so it protects your drive train from your own exuberant silliness.
I have been daily driving a 3.2 '07 with that same DQ250 DSG since 2017, got it at 200k km (125k miles) and today it has 320k km (200k miles) and the driving experience has not changed a bit, I fitted that non-resonated Milltek exhaust too years ago and also upgraded to an Audi Sound Plus speaker+amp/dsp kit for better in car entertainment. Only "big" thing that I have had fail was the Haldex pump but that was like 300eur in OE parts with filter and oil and an hour of my own work and it failing did not prevent me from driving the car.
@@Heat.Media. I average around 8.5L/100km (which I think is around 33 mpg in the British way) driving around my everyday stuff which is a steady mix of town and highway driving. On longer road trips at steady speeds I can get it even below 7L/100km. I have had the car for so long now that I rarely push it hard unless I am on track. And if I happen to do some 'spirited driving' the fuel consumption will quickly climb to +10l/100km - after all it is still a 3.2 engine.
(About the induction noise), in the 3.2 VR6 you actually have a part of the intake that splits of and goes straight to the cockpit of the car down to you feet to get that sporty sound in the cockpit, just a fun fact because you mentioned the induction sound. :)
I’m on my second tt mk2 3.2 and I love it. 185,000 mls no problem . Chains are the weak point, they stretch but even with the mil light on are drivable. Just a great car and sound awesome.
I used to have a 3.2 v6 TT. Then bought a MkIII TTS and loved both cars. They were really nice cars. Oh, the Audi headrests, pretty sure they are after market. They definitely weren’t available when I specked mine yonks ago.
Had a mk1 TT v6 man. Great car. Ved on it is very expensive also with that sort of mileage it won't be long before the timing chains will need replacing. But if you factor that in. Lovely drivers car.
I have a 2008 TT 3.2 with a manual gearbox, love it to death, 272k km. Came with mag-ride, but I swapped it out when one failed. A quiet exhaust leak developed in the front section this past winter, at CAD $4000 just for the part, will probably have to sell.
I have the same car but mine is the roadster , with only 140 thou km, but the power roof has a malfunction. Don't know how much to fix so might be selling her. I've noticed other electrical problems also. Otherwise i love the car.
Just got myself a 56 plate 3.2 Quattro with DSG, mag ride suspension and every option added! It has 115,000 miles and full Audi service history from new and it’s a dream to drive! my friends are shocked when I tell them it’s a 17 year old car! Anyone got any opinions of any mods or styling upgrades? Or shall I keep it standard as it’s a very good example and still has all the original tools and even the original tyre slime in the boot!
Audi TT shape is the sort of shape that never looks dated i think.Its a pretty nice looking example that Joe from what ive seen so far. shell have a nice Note under load with that Milltek system. high mileage, hmmmmmm i rekon 170k ish. probs been loved from new as looks pretty clean.
Hi just watched this video always like the v6 engines power at your fingertips I have just bought 15 plate tfsi sport 227 brake mk3 !! Swapped my gt86 for it which I am now not sure I did the right move but will see !!
Thanks for review. Im looking at one here in USA, cant find a coupe, its a convertible, but 6 speed manual , what's the mpg on these cars. Gas is over $4 a gallon these days !!
I have the 6 speed manual convertible roadster. The mileage in city driving is same as any other 6 cyl but on the highway slip it into 6th gear and you will be amazed by the increase in your mpg.
I have got the chance to get it for free but it has 225.000 kms. Please, could anyone tell me if it's a good choice to take it or it's too old and it will have some expensive engine problems. Right now I've got an old 2005 1.6 fsi golf 186.000 kms that works well. I love this TT but don't know what to do. Many thanks in advance
@@ShiftingMetal shame I can’t post a photo on here, it looked so good but I’d just brought a car, otherwise I’d have had it myself, there are none with mileage that low. I think he’d also underpriced it
Can someone help me? I’m between getting an Audi tt vr6 manual or an Audi s3 2.0 tfsi with 12 months warranty from a dealership, Which is better? Thanks
Do like these Audi TT but I find them just a bit awkward to drive personally Also buying then flipping them on for a sale I feel it’s difficult car to sell due to high running cost
Currently for sale at £5995 at Berrow Motors. That's not excessive! If I didn't love the EA888 so much I'd probably be tempted 😂 EDIT: Just seen they have a 2.0TFSI TT same year, in blue, lower miles for the same price 🤣🤣
Hi. Scared to buy the VR6 because of the chain. Is it worth spending £5/6k and having the chain fail and needing to spend a further £3/4k to replace? What’s your advice on the chains?
How did this get in this comment! Sorry, it was meant for the Audi pick up vid lol. Great sound on the TT and stick a private plate on it, you won't know it's an older car. Still very modern looking.
Ha 139000 high milage for an Audi not for a Toyota my 1997 Hilux has 430000 kms on it about 250000 miles l don't consider it high miles for a Toyota Hilux in fact 1997 Hilux sold with 980000kms on it for aud $500 but a 2002 Toyota Corolla with the same amount if kms on it sold for aud $4600 so 2000000kms is high kilomatage for a Toyota and yes tgrre a 1993 Toyota Corolla in New Zealand that has done 2000000kms on its original engine and gearbox so 139000 miles is high mileage for any Audi remember reliability is a luxury

I've just brought a 07 3.2tt on 120k miles and don't regret it. Other than a few creases in the leather seats the car is an animal ❤
This car is one of my favorite cars to go through the curves and sounds great 😊

What kind of mpg do you get ?

I have a 2000 1.8L MK1 with 28k miles in Blue. Looks like it came out of the Show Room. 38 to 40 mpg.
@83ky - I have same platform in my '07 A3 S-line sports hatch. 244K KM, or about 151k miles. These are strong motors if regularly serviced.

Get some TTS side skirts, car will look alot better but still OEM
Hi Joe,this Audi TT doesn't hang around, having the mileage as it is, still quite nippy,paddle shift makes it better to drive.

Hi. Scared to buy the VR6 because of the chain. Is it worth spending £5/6k and having the chain fail and needing to spend a further £3/4k to replace?
What’s your advice on the chains?
Be easy on it, warm it up, don't downshift into high rev or perform high revs.
Do you think 180k miles is high on a Audi tt i was considering purchasing it for 9k
Is it reliable? Any mechanic issue with this engine?
Same r32 engine as mk1 just different shell🤷♂️
Chains and higher road tax for anything above 2006
Your enjoying this test drive way too much 😊
Haha, yeah it was fun!
whats the wrist watch? looks wicked
Thanks, it’s an old Tag Heuer 1000 Jubilee 👍
Is the second gen a better car overall than the Gen one?
Mk1 - S-line 3.2 much better than mk2.
Sorry dude no way looks better than the original M1 … Cannot replicate the original..😉
the TT i think its 150k coverage.
Mine is on 200k and still pulls like a train
135,942
Hi Joe. Would you be interested in buying an EV?
Hi Andy, all depends what it is/value at the moment I guess
Lime green calipers. EV wannabie then
Not high mileage for a 16 year old car in my opinion. Much less than the average 10000 miles per year 😊
Average is about 7.5k

Nice. The road tax will put a lot off sadly.
It is a bit steep!
Not just ved. With that mileage the timing chains will require changing in the not to distant future. And that is an expensive repair.
Agree and its going up very soon 🤬🤬🤬

Thought these were a vr6 engine basically a v shape honed into a straight block for compactness.
Very nice exhaust tips 👍
Why do these sound different to the R32 Golf? Is it the manifold? I’d love the exact R32 scream in my V6… the TT has its own sound
If you want sound R32 for your TT 8j, the best solution is tempa mod
