TT-RS ?

[blade7]

How good are they, early manual cars seem to be around £25k which seem like quite a lot for a 5/6 year old car. Are there likely to big bills as they get older. On the Audi forums they seem to get a lot of stick from RS4 owners.

Thanks for the opinions, I keep thinking about a TT-RS as a replacement for my weekend car. I just wonder if 340 bhp is going to be better in a TT-RS than 944T ?

Thanks for the info Hoon, I don't fancy an auto though. How does your TT drive compared to your old 944T ?

Ive had mine since November and as already said, there is no end of mods to keep you interested if thats your sort of thing. I have mine tweaked to a little over 400bhp and it really is a fun drive. I had a faulty spark plug just after I bought it, but apart from that no extra expenses other than maintenance costs.

I see you're in Bedfordshire, did you buy your car from a local dealer ?

I keep coming back to one of these for my next weekend car, do they feel like a FWD car until the front loses grip, or can the Haldex be setup for permanent 4WD ?

[blade7]

I was thinking something like the RS4's 60/40 rear bias, isn't the TT's Haldex pretty much FWD until slip is detected ?

[blade7]

I was thinking about the manual gearbox but some reading on a TT forum suggests the synchros are weak, and it's a case of when rather than if they will break, expensively...

[blade7]

3 years on and there's not much difference in the price of an early manual TT-RS and a good late 944T. Assuming similar bhp which one would you choose?

I might see four 944s a year, and see four TTs a day.

Audi could have done more with the bodywork, to make it stand out from the 4 cylinder versions.
