Which would you go for?
« on: 22 February 2012, 09:43 »
Morning all....haven't been on here for a few years as I've had a break from all things VAG.  Looking to get back in with a secondhand TT purchase.  Which of the below two would you go for?

Completely standard late spec low mileage mk1 1.8T 240bhp quattro with recaro bucket seats...leaving enough budget for wheels, suspension and engine tuning


or newer low mileage mk2 TT with 2.0 TFSI leaving only enough budget for a remap.


The TFSI engine is supposedly good for big bhp with just a remap and is a lot better engine than the 1.8T.  Anyone know if the mk2 is much better as a car than the mk1 other than just the engine?

I read somewhere that the handing is much better on the mk2, so is the power delivery especially low end and the gearbox is smoother.

Even if I didn't read the above I think I would still go for a mk2, MK1 has been around a loooong time now.

Hello Mate not been around lately!
VWperformance took a pounding  :lipsrsealed:

TFSI

MK1 for nostalgia
MK2 for the rawness
