RE: Audi TT RS: PH Fleet
Discussion
Wow, I don't think I've ever made a comment like this, as I hate to be critical of any individual here - but I have to agree with a lot of the comments above: that WAS a hard read! Though to be honest, I didn't/couldn't read it all and gave up after a few paragraphs to just cut to the ending summary....... but then that was just as difficult to get through! As others have said, please don't try shoe-in so many 'fancy' words: we're only interested in your review of the car - NOT your abilities to insert bucketloads of flowery language! :/

It won't trouble itself with nuance, but nor does it forget to molest your eardrums with the inimitable sound of an inline-five motor trying to eat its valvetrain either.”
.......Right.
Pseuds Corner in Private Eye beckons...........Right.
Pretentious twaddle once again. Puts the likes of Will Self in the shade.
Not meaning to jump on the hate wagon for Nic Cackett but i did find this one a particularly difficult read. As someone else said, the PH Fleet articles are to give an insight on the car which is being ran at the time. This doesn't appear to explain any of that and simply contains some very odd statements.
Anyway, back to the car. I really like the TTRS and it's becoming a real monster for Audi right now. It's a good size, has bonkers power, a nice interior and i believe the old TT image is wearing off with this particular shape.

Once upon a time fast fleet reports gave details about the car, the type of driving done in it and any issues including the price of servicing, tyres etc as well as how it is to live with. This was the rambling musings of a writer who, it felt, had his thesaurus open during the writing. Was there actually an opinion of the car by the writer themselves?

The new TT-RS is a much better car than the old one, so a bit strange to mention that.
Looks are subjective, but I think the Evora looks like a crappy kit car. Don't love the TT but the RS looks nice.
Evora is probably a more special feeling car being mid-engined but you're kidding yourself if it will be as comfortable as an Audi.
The Evora sounds decent for a 6 but there are very few engine notes on earth that will be an inline-5, it's glorious.
Can't get the Audi with a manual but the S-tronic is fantastic. Depends what you want I get.
Pipped? The TT-RS would demolish most cars in adverse conditions.
I don't disagree, Evora is definitely better for feedback and feel.
Equal? Not really, the TT-RS has a proper boot and good visibility, but the Evora can't really help being mid-engined.
Maybe the engine because it's a Toyota unit, but it's everything else that breaks on a Lotus.

99% of them CAN. It's just this particular one that thinks it's big AND clever to show off whatever English language qualification he earned when he was younger.Really not liking the writing style honestly why can't journalists why something plain and simple to read nowadays?
He needs rolling back to the version he was at just before some idiot taught him this overblown nonsense. Even if it comes out looking like a kids wrote it - it's gotta be better than having to dig through that lot every time.
