Its not an Evo 7 :P... but its a decent alrounder none the less. Decent economy, lovely cabin, smooth power delivery, 4WD and they still go well.

Good car indeed mate.

[sparky771]

bit gay imo :P

only messin looks alright what are your plans for it?

[J222JRA]

having one myself in a few months

[speedyvtr]

love the tt very nice mate.

[stiffler69]

Thanks for the comments

Jazz it aint no evo yet but after a miltek with sports cat, filter and map it wont be shy anymore and your right certainly is a good allrounder i have had the fast motors and tbh i didnt use the power that much anyway i tend to cruise as appose to stick my foot down!

[J222JRA]

225's are quick enough imo

[AXracing]

I am not a fan. I could never justify spending that much on what is accentual a old Skoda. The look are a bit like or hate it as well. Its more a fashion type car that looks good for a attractive girl. Pony looking for most guys. The handling is quite poor as well even with the ugly spoiler added. Defiantly no sports car. But most of all the reliability. Anyone remember the watchdog on them? Its one of the few cars that makes Fiats look well made. But hopefully they will have sorted that buy now?

[scotthep]

Think it looks ok but tbh i wudnt have choosen a soft top version

[23carragold]

its got the rear centre cap missing on the alloy! Get some discount for that:y:

[bullit]

Yeah they're good cars- anything VAG and Turbo is bound to be decent. Only thing is apparantly they don't handle that well as standard, but unless you're ragging it round country lanes all day that shouldn't be a problem. Quattro yes? Which means decent all-weather flexibility.

My dad's got the same 1.8T in his Mk1 vRS, (same block, smaller Turbo and other changes iirc) and that goes very nicely, power and torque increase in the TT should be sweet.

With those mods you'll be chasing standard Scoobs and Evos anyway I'd imagine..

wow i like.......i had said to the mrs when we get the tt it stays standard but not anymore lol

[Jazz]

^ People can say "hairdresser" all they like.... but that thing is fcuking beautiful :y:

[stiffler69]

well picked this up last thursday and im really impressed not sure what made people think they dont handle well cause it feels almost identical to my evo handling wise and has a very nice early turbo pull very quick nimble car i was rather suprised at how much of a good all rounder it is, comfortable, quick, loads of toys, great brakes, looks good

Highly recommend one of these cars to anyone cant wait to buy some goodies for it

lol what? Are you living in 1994 or something? They might share some parts of have a very similar chassis to an octavia or something, but that's a compliment to skoda.

[craigy_87]

nah never really been a fan of them tbh dont like the looks, one above in black looks ok though but then how much extra did it cost to get it looking that way?

Motorway superb 6th gear low rev cruise was averageing about 35mpg, around town i think i was gettng around 25mpg sometimes lower but i was giving it some at times.

Super unleaded made a difference to its performance so i would recommend when you get yours to give it a full tank of the good stuff i noticed the petrol cap says 95-98 ron, i noticed it was perkier with the 98 stuff

:y:

[Rob-6]

i like the coupe ones with the black roof and the multispokes not sure which trim level that one is but im sure they have buckets in as standard

[stiffler69]

Black one above has 19" bbs rims a bit of a drop and a bumper valance thats all i can see different

I wasnt taken by them at all until recently and i love it

[craigy_87]

wouldnt those rims an tyres cost a bomb though lol
i'm sure its a lovely car mind

i think they were just called 'Sport' with maybe 240bhp too. Stripped out with buckets iirc.

[luke1988]

[stiffler69]

will be giving her a polish over the weekend and getting some more pics up its got the red leather interior in myn and compliments the colour of the car

just talke the other half into getting me a miltek cat back for xmas so its all good

[djmartin]

why is it anything that is a soft top is a hair dressers car.

saying that tho my bro is a hair dresser and he has had a mazda mx5 and now he is in a honda s2000 lol. enought said I suppose haha.

my uncle has a TT aswell not sure which one it is though. its pearl white he said its a good car to handle but something is a miss with the suspension.

[stiffler69]

Im not sure about suspension but they were recalled for work on the rear wishbone or something cause they rear wheels would buckle in over going round corners and cause the car to flip, ive not had any problems handling wise infact i was on a country road this morning and kicked its bollocks in and it handled great!

[VTomR]

Driven a few of these, havent really got a bad word to say about them. nice cars!

[RustySkull]

Very nice although not a fan myself =/

[JamesR]

Never been a fan of the TTs myself.

[Jaytee]

I was thinking of one. Pretty cheap insurance for what they are tbh. But iv been loking at a few VAG cars recently just want something reliable, quick an comfy as a day to day. The TT's do look very nice though with a bit of work on them.

[johnnyg_vts]

its a girls car/ hairdresser/ poseur.
delete where applicable.

[Jaytee]

Hmmmm but to fair. Saxo's arnt exactly the definition of manliness are they.

[johnnyg_vts]

compared to a tt, yes.

[hellovts]
