Old model TT, which do I buy?

[5yearstobuyatvr]

I am looking around for a TT up to 10/15k miles, for the wife, plus me occasionally.Not interested in the high powered 225hp,but not sure about 150/162hp. Other concern is roadster or coupe? Your comments would be appreciated.

Not many of the 150 two wheel drivers about methinks, and it's good to have the 4wd.

Coupe is prettier, with a luggage space behing seats, Roadster is roof off fun!

Pays yer money, takes yer chance!

I've lived very happily with 1.8t 225 roadster.

Quattro? What mpg average and insurance group on a 225 please?

30 mpg, don't recall insurance group, but about £350 fully comp with max no claims (in reasonable post code & a degree of old fartness )

180 bhp, still 4wd


Better buying on condition though?

[2 sMoKiN bArReLs]

..and a 3.2l 250 bhp too!

[5yearstobuyatvr]

Yes I always buy on condition, looks like a 180/225 Quattro then, not sure about the softop though.

If you were an F1 fan you might just be able to name the exact spot!

[testarossa]

the 225 is better, has a six speed box and looks better with the twin pipes, they are nearly the same price (oh get a roadster, even though the coupe looks better)

Steve I now realise its Monte Carlo,but not familiar with its name.

Depends really the quattro 180 is nice but would cost more to service with haldex etc.
Just a thought as i work for audi it'd be nice to have a tt as my next car. but seriously doubt i could insure it. Paying £2200 now for a 1.7 cdti new astra. Anyone know if id be able to insure one being 18 with a years no claims? current insurance company says no they wouldnt online.
