TT Reviews (Performance Car)



The Audi TT had been growing on me over the last couple of 
months. Can't say I really liked the styling  but Dave 
Lawson and Ron Husak reckon its a lot better looking in the 
flesh. Anyway I've read 3 reviews of it so far, Autoweek, Car (incl 
Performance Car) and Top Gear. The former two reviews were 
very positive, the latter very negative.

In Top Gear the car was reviewed by Tiff Needel and Jeremy 
Clarkson. The latter is possibly my favourite Auto journalist, not 
only because of his wit, but because he rated the ur-q his 
favourite car of the decade - Clarkson really wanted to like the TT 
and was very disappointed. In his words "not a sports car".  
You might want to plan a test drive on this one before parting 
with the down payment. 

The only car in Audi's current line up that does anything for me 
is the A4TQA, and even then the space in th back looks less 
than an 80s Coupe GT. The S4? Maybe, but do I really need a 
new car thats taken, how long to "engineer" for 
production? hmmm I wonder how S4s will be for long term 
reliability and parts prices.  Not that my bank manager is 
letting me spend any time looking at the options.
