  • Let's have a look at the Audi TT. It's a sporty car that is a lot of fun to drive. But to test what it's really like, let's take it on a little roadtrip to the north coast of Northern Ireland.

    I have the same car in white but not s line. I was one of the first people to drive a TT. I went to the factory in Bavaria c1998 I worked in advertising. I flew to Ireland to make some ads for the 5door A5 when that came out. I also put an A2 inside the London eye and drove the Quattro on a volcanic beach in Auckland. Happy days!

    Excellent reviews, voice-over and soundtrack. I own a 2008 TT bought last year and enjoy seeing other people's opinion on the car. I totally agree with you. The 2nd gen is the sweet spot compared to the other 2. If I ever upgrade will be for a 2014 pre gen 3 model, TTS possibly. But for now mine is just perfect with just over 60K miles in meteor grey and cream leather interior. Light coloured leather makes it look classier IMO.

    I have to disagree a little my wife fits in the back perfectly and she has arms and legs her 4”11 frame has plenty of head room lol ..... ps the passenger window does go fully down you just need to do a window reset it’s either gone out of sync or some work has been done it’s a simple fix. Great video and lovely views

    I think the TT has to be one of the most practical sports cars on the market. I managed to get a 46” tv in the back with the seats down without too much trouble. Also some 3 metre bamboo canes with a little bend :)

      That's it's weak point in fact. Exotic cars should be impractical and used in special occasions. Practicality renders a car boring.

    I have Audi tts 2011, only down side lack of space in the back anyone above 5ft 6 will have issues, but overall one of the best sports cars, just the right amount of power for uk roads, not ridiculously fast but fast enough to give you a smile every time you decide to floor it, zipping in out of traffic in hurry its probably the best thing ive driven very few cars will keep up.

    I own the roadster 8JS and it's good. The electric hood mechanism went but I still can lower it manually, not I want to because doing so shreds certain corners of the canvas. The front bumper is too low I keep hitting curbs and speed humps, it rattles due to flex, the ipod connectivity is useless, the s tronic works great but the previous owner replaced the entire gearbox, there's a small oil leak I guess from one of the covers gaskets, the magride shocks all went very early and were replaced with normal shocks triggering warning light, the warning in turn doesn't allow disabling traction control or using cruise control. Other than that, it goes well 😂

    I own a mk3 and i must say that i like the car way more than the second gen. Interior is modern but also simple, love the fact that there is no infotainment and the matrix led lights are just magical. Love the mk3!

  • @stevesas632

    Great video. I completely agree that the MK2 TT is the best designed. It has the curves of the MK1, but better proportioned & none of the ugly angles of the non discript MK3.

    The 3rd gen is by far the best looking, that 2nd gen looks like it has droopy eyelids and is not at all attractive. The 1st gen is much better looking than that.

    I enjoyed my 3.2 8J mk2 in 2010 (last 3.2 engine) - snowboard trips with no passengers in the back. Elegant everyday, silent enough, a joy to walk up to. I'd have made it a tad longer to have more leg space at least for kids in the back and normal adults in the front.
    Also, more silence insulation would have been nice.
    Wide outside, not large inside. Just bought another one recently out of nostaligia (mine was stolen in 2013).
    I wouldn't want another engine, the one in this video is way too noisy, probably a 2.0 turbo with no all-wheel-drive
    Today I have to baby seats and out akita in the boot :-) good for kindergarden and office runs.
    Both my windows went down all the way, an issue with this particular one?

      Check history to see if it's had timing belt changes. Also if it's the S Tronic auto, check that's had oil changes too.
