My wife has a tt. You can get a small dog in it front or back. The only thing I find awkward is stooping over to harness them on the back seat.

I had a Mk2 TT previous to the Tuscan and it was a very good car, hampered only by its image in some eyes. Great handling and a surprisingly eager and lag-free turbo 4-pot (2.0 petrol). I had the S-Tronic / DSG box which is good on the upshift, bit harsh on the down, fine in auto. My kids (10/7) just fit in the back but you shouldn't have any problems with a dog unless its a St Bernard

Only had it 18 months or so with no real reliability problems apart from the bonnet release handle shearing off. Cambelt change wasn't cheap and Audi dealers are pretentious arses so if you're buying used I'd stick to one of the many independents. Only sold it as I needed something compact for urban parking which opened up the Tuscan weekender business case nicely

It's a mk1 225 Quattro can't fault it really. Had it nearly five years with no issues apart from petty stuff like the plastic dipstick holder cracking apart.

Are you thinking mk1 or mk2?
