Lovely review. The TT does not reference a bike, though ... it references the NSU TT, a car by one of the companies that merged into Audi. The NSU TT does get its name from the Isle of Man TT race, but included cars back in the day.
Found a 2014 TT at a dealership and was surprised to see its possible for it to be a one child family car. Thanks for this review as im looking into it as a reference point
I currently own a 2016 Audi A3 S-Line. But I'm starting to fall in love with the TT (2018_2019 model) thinking of purchasing the rs version as my second car. 🤙
The bigger issue with runflats isn't noise or ride harshness. If you hit a pothole or debris that bends a wheel, knocks tire off the bead or does more damage than a simple puncture, you will be stranded.
A very smart reviewer once said there is no such thing as a sports car with a transversely mounted engine . I totally agree with that. Still a VW Golf even in the overpriced TT RS guise. Great for the older crowd that can't drive as its all wheel drive system makes you look like a hero.
I would have never thought you could put in a child seat, even a forward facing one. I’m guessing your back wasn’t too happy afterwards haha. Good stuff, nice review.
Wow, what a background scenery! I like that mountain and countryside, where is it from? I have heard you talking about price using Canadian dollar. All best to Canada from Czech republic (be fair play when playing against Czech team in ice hockey, sometime you are dirty and nasty)
@@FamilyWheels I have not been in Canada, only in US (California, Florida, New York), your landscape is really appealing and pamper for the eye. Beautiful like some art picture. There are plenty of Audi tt, I am in UK now, seeing them almost everyday on road and streets, but won't see such scenery even travelling over all uk!
White, grey, or red. 3 choices with competition package on base model tt . TTs and Rs offer more color choices. Audi really limits you with certain packages. No more brilliant black for 2019. Mythos Black instead. Only the RS allows a spoiler delete option...etc. Ugh. Still trying to configure a 2019 tts that I like.
I didn't look into ground clearance but I have to say, the TT was very liveable. We have a curb on our driveway that can be problematic with some performance-oriented cars that we've tested. No problem in the TT though.
@@FamilyWheels yeah I saw the TT and R8 in the dealership. Both appears to have low ground clearance as expected but TT appears to be more reasonable for daily use
The A5 starts at $42,800 and TT $43,950(USD), crazy huh? It's probably cheaper because the A5 has a manual transmission but Audi drops all manuals for the 2019 US models.
I own an MK2 and would upgrade to a high spec mk2 before considering the mk3. The comments about the MK2 are off IMO. The mk3 lost too much of the curvy style and design that made the TT known and popular. No way you'll drive a TT Mk2 and think you're driving an A3 hatchback.
The TT has always been more about its design than its practically. It’s for people who care more about looks than performance, although it can hold its own.
Get original, still driving my 6 speed manual ALMS TT MK1 and I’ve driven all the Golfs and they aren’t nearly as much fun. Only other one was R32 and the looks don’t age well
I would rather buy a used Chrysler Crossfire if I wanted a sporty small car. You can get them for peanuts and they look a lot better. Or, try a Honda Civic coupe. To me the TT looks like a VW Karmann Ghia, not an Audi. It's a testosterone free sports car. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Karmann_Ghia
I just drove test a 2017 TT quoattro with 2000 miles on it, and it is a joke, noisy car with no power. You are only getting 220 horse power. I had 2009 Subaru and was getting 250 horse power, and my current 2014 VW Passat TDI is more powerful. I know it is not a sport car, but am getting more power from it. The audit TT is Not worth the money.
That TT with 220 hp will still hit 60 in 5.2 sec, so it's no slouch. For most people that's quick enough to be entertaining. The TTS is about a second quicker still if you really need more power. I will agree that the TT line is too expensive.
I'm driving my second TT. First was 2014, now is 2019 TTS. It's the best car.
is it possible to go on wintersport trip with snowboard + ski's in the back? 2 persons

I got myself a 2013 TTRS as a weekend / fun car and I‘m soo in love with it
Niiiiiiice! How long before it becomes the daily?!
Family Wheels I guess it will never be the daily as I love my Mk4 Golf way too much for day to day use 😁
@@GuardsRed996 Haha! You're living life well my friend :)
Always thought this was a more civilized, yet still fun weekend ride.

So jealous, what a great first AND second car to have!!
this is a really good video, should have more recognition!!!
I like the color too! Thanks Paul.
The dog was like, you really going to make me sit in here?
That rear seat space was the single most interesting thing to learn about in this car for me.
And I'm a single guy 😂
I know, right?!
The tt is a bike with 4 wheels its bike fun I'm a biker fjr1300 Yamaha the tt is brilliant love it to pieces.
Right on!
8.6?! That is amazingly well!!
Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰 Super test👍👏 what do you reckon max high for a person in the back? With a small person in front.
Hi Mikkel! Second row headroom spec is about 86 cm (33”). Thanks for watching.

Blake Swan It's a Haldex front-biased system, no heroics will happen.
Great cars, but I agree, the fixed spoiler is unnecessary and looks naff.
Hi, I know this is an older video, but what car seat model is that? it seems to be the right size for this car's small back-seat...
nice review!
I would have never thought you could put in a child seat, even a forward facing one. I’m guessing your back wasn’t too happy afterwards haha.
Good stuff, nice review.
Yeah, big surprise for us, too!

That's the Rocky Mountains outside of Calgary. It's a beautiful backyard, for sure!

Great review!! Thanks!!
Hey, I'm located in Edmonton and wanted to know if the MK3 TT is a suitable daily driver, including harsh Albertan winter conditions
12:27 is that real dog? nice review btw 👍🏻
Yes it moved
Liked your review and the TT. Not a fan of the Nano Grey paint job though, I was in the USN.
Oh, yeah. That would do it!

IS THAT NANO Grey?
what's the ground clearance of A4 vs TT vs R8? Would be good to know the difference for Canadian winter
I didn't look into ground clearance but I have to say, the TT was very liveable. We have a curb on our driveway that can be problematic with some performance-oriented cars that we've tested. No problem in the TT though.
@@FamilyWheels yeah I saw the TT and R8 in the dealership. Both appears to have low ground clearance as expected but TT appears to be more reasonable for daily use
WHAT COLOUR IS IT PLLSSSSSS????
Nardo grey
Same the US rules mean it has to have that stupid orange reflector on
I love kaliGeri
Its okay
Dude please change your intro music
How tall are you sir?
With a haircut, or without?!!!
@@FamilyWheels both
@@torettoyams5052 lmaoo
I am also curious about it, I am 6,3 and I am not sure there will be space for my head in the front seat. Do you have any information about it?
My dream car 😍
Dreams can come true!!
Same, has been for like 7 years now?
Can someone tell me how tall the guy in the video is? I want to know if bigger guys can fit in this car.
That's Paul. Hes over 6ft for sure.
@@FamilyWheels thank you
The TT is so gorgeous but it’s ridiculously priced, the Golf R and A5 are both cheaper and offers a manual transmissions.
Kamaka Chang my thoughts exactly. If you want an expensive, transversely mounted engines golf, get the real McCoy in the Golf R with a manual
A5 is cheaper than a regular TT?
The A5 starts at $42,800 and TT $43,950(USD), crazy huh? It's probably cheaper because the A5 has a manual transmission but Audi drops all manuals for the 2019 US models.
No manual for the A5 anymore :(
Get an MK2 with low mileage. It's an amazing car that looks better than the mk3 in my opinion. I got a gorgeous 2008 that looks 4 years old!
I own an MK2 and would upgrade to a high spec mk2 before considering the mk3. The comments about the MK2 are off IMO. The mk3 lost too much of the curvy style and design that made the TT known and popular. No way you'll drive a TT Mk2 and think you're driving an A3 hatchback.
That is a heavy dog
If you insist on an Audi for a family car your only good options are the Q5 Q7 and Q8
Yep, fair point, what about the Q3? Too small still?
@@FamilyWheels depends on how many kids you have
@@ihavetheworldssmallestdick4568 True, two kids MAX for the Q3!
Can't tell if this is a review or a critique. 🤔
This car would be great to drive to a lobster dinner!
Simp my life 2.0
The VW Golf R is a better car, less expensive, easier to insure and faster.
Man, love that Golf R! Better back seat, too.
The TT has always been more about its design than its practically. It’s for people who care more about looks than performance, although it can hold its own.
@@zwick6890 check out TTRS 0-60 from 3.3-3.6 quarter mile in 11's .
Warren Beres Absolutely- but it comes at a cost. I love my TT- had it for 15 years now.
TTS is a better comparison and is faster than a Golf R. For me the Golf R just looks boring.
Just get a Golf R it’s half the price
Not the same feeling when you see it.
@@armandotarelo6099 but no manual 👎 another whammy
Get original, still driving my 6 speed manual ALMS TT MK1 and I’ve driven all the Golfs and they aren’t nearly as much fun. Only other one was R32 and the looks don’t age well

American disgusting car, iju!
I'd go for the RS3 it's a lot more practical than the TT.
Yep, ditto.
🤣🤣🤣🤣

I would definitely push into the S... or even RS models to boost up the performance.

Each person has a personal preference and a budget for a car. So we can have different opinions for same car. No right or wrong in here.
