    I just love the audi tt in general. Mark 1, Mark 2, the 4cyl and the v6. They are all so underrated, and they are all fun.
    They also have their good amount of aftermarket support.
    Affordable, eye catching, underrated, reliable and fun. Not much more you can ask for from a car.

      Yes, I agree with what you said about the TT, very underrated, I used to adore my mk1 quattro roadster 225bhp, used to corner like it was on rails and was fairly fast and reliable, I still miss it 😢

    I think that the mk1 TT is definitely one of the best looking cars ever, especially the roadster, i used to have a mk1 TT quattro roadster 225bhp, i still miss it, awesome motor.

      I had an g60 Corrado. Until I foulded it double on a tree. Super car to drive a bit under powered but it was a beautiful car even in today's standards nothing comes close to 90s cars I had vw golf type 1 type 3 gti vr6 but the Corrado was just perfection.almost as good as my porsche 964. I miss those days man. Now im married and poor.
