To buy or not to buy Audi TT MK2
« on: 12 July 2012, 09:30 »
Thinking of buying a Audi TT TDI S-Line coupe but not sure if its worth spending £25k on it.

Im ideally after a weekend diesel sports car something abit out of the ordinary as most people around my area either have the BMW 3 series m-sport, Audi A5, Merc C-Class.

Im going to be sharing it with my Dad as he's been quite ill recently and getting quite old and he's always wanted something new, fun to drive but he's never been able to afford it.

What do you guys recommend?

weekend diesel sports car???

 :undecided:

seriously for 15k you can have something that really is fun, is cheap enough so you DONT have to buy the dieseasal version, and as a bonus the less you spend the less you lose.

good on you for getting your dad something nice... but dont waste it on a sh1tty diesel audi... seriously!! I know people on here have them..... but they have reasons for this. you dont  :cool:

After something VAG, and preferably a 2 seater.

Needs to be economical, cheap to run insure and tax and he's not worried about it being fast etc
