Thinking about a MK1 TT
« on: 23 February 2012, 10:44 »
As stated, to replace the audi A4 estate. 225 bhp and AWD sounds appealing, plus insurance is randomly £100 cheaper than the estate (but then again it was my bday at the start of the month). So... what to look out for?





p.s. Nick has an mx5, abuse him instead

Im not asking for opinions on looks or the kind of person who drives one... simply what to look out for when looking around one/looking at adverts

i pulled up alongside a mint one yesterday and it had me thinking it would be an interesting toy.... then I remembered the horrible visibility and that I am not gay. Slapped myself and continued my journey.

Don't expect to look in the rear mirror too oftern visability is limited but head room might be an issue for you Sam go out and test ride one that will tell you for sure!

Im not too fussed about the view out of the rear as I have been driving vans for years (18ft window van reversing down a narrow bungalow drive anyone?). I have just had a little search for headroom issues and it would appear that people are simply not adjusting there seats properly, plenty of 6ft+ guys doing long drives with no issues.
