The cold hard facts are, is that Audi TT, in any form ; dull to drive, has no steering feedback and has a tendency to understeer
Get overyourself trying to change facts, rather than what you think are peoples opinion on the car.
Only the last one is anything vaguely resembling a fact.Get overyourself trying to change facts, rather than what you think are peoples opinion on the car.
The first two are opinions.
id put money on it understeering and feeling odd through sweeping corners as its 4x4...a C4 996 I once drove felt exactly the same...very odd through corners under power....
RWD, its the garlic bread (future) unless its a GTR lol....
M3 - wise "what is it with th M3"...dont know maybe the, V8, sorted chassis, crafted fast bit of kit that may lose sometimes in a santa pod drive off....
suits me....

Why are all these TT owners trying to justify their cars? The cold hard facts are, is that Audi TT, in any form ; dull to drive, has no steering feedback and has a tendency to understeer. If this wasn't true then why do we have people arguing with it, listing off 0-60 times and the like? I'm not being rude, but its like MitchyRS has put everything he wants (or thinks he wants) from a car into a calculator, the TTRS is the result, yet he has completely missed the point. You're clearly very insecure about your purchase with endless attempts to try an persuade otherwise.
If you chose a TT, fine. Get overyourself trying to change facts, rather than what you think are peoples opinion on the car.
TT in any form, dull to drive? What car do you drive? If you chose a TT, fine. Get overyourself trying to change facts, rather than what you think are peoples opinion on the car.

Disagree.PaperCut said:
has no steering feedback
Erm, it does have steering feedback, but we can agree it's not the best.PaperCut said:
and has a tendency to understeer.
...If you drive like a total bell-end.If none of the above is an issue, why does it matter? If it does matter to you, then you can always buy something else. Capitalism in action.

Show me a quicker car for the money, any day to day road going car that accelerates quicker than the TTRS for sub £50k? Lets not compare apples and oranges again, new vs new please.
You could get an Evo FQ360 for a lot less than £50k or even an FQ400, both of which would be atleast as quick in a straight and I reckon a lot quicker in the twisties due to better awd system, chassis and suspension set up. And dare I say it the Evo probably has a better image than a blinged up Audi these days too

All the haters on here have probably never even seen a TTRS, they are a rare sight on the roads. As to track performance, they are okay, couple of mods and then they are playing with the big boys.
I've seen a few around Aberdeenshire, there's one often parked in Inverurie at a fireplace shop. Not you is it? That's the only one I've seen parked anywhere. Edited by MitchyRS on Saturday 11th February 16:34
Nice looking car, not personally for me, but I do see the attraction.
Going back to the TTRS dynamics I've been banging on about so much earlier in this thread, I recently spent some time in a TT S on a wet handling circuit and... well... it wasn't as bad as the RS was in the dry.
Admittedly you could still get nothing but understeer with the throttle, but by chucking it into a corner while trail braking you could get the rear out, then use the throttle to balance out the slide... like a FWD I guess!
If it had the same AWD balance as the R8 it would be a rather good vehicle.

Oh not this stuck record / clown.
Yes you can buy a used car for same as a new one. What a revelation.
So if you were looking at a new TTRS and you could buy a used R8 instead you would ignore the option of the R8?Yes you can buy a used car for same as a new one. What a revelation.
You dont have much common sense do you you lose about £3k in depreciation the minute you drive it home. I would rather buy the R8 and spend that £3k on a tubi sport.
