Graig what was your view on the pictures of the new TT. I was thinking it was a slight let down...
I think like the majority i'm slightly disappointed that the change is not more radical. It's definitely more an evolution than a revolution from the Mk2 but you could argue that the same applies to the 911 which is a fantastic car.
The interior does look lovely and i'm sure the quality in the cabin will be first class.
The problem as always with Audi is the price and in particular the ridiculous prices for options which are standard in most other cars nowadays. I would love a TTS but that's likely to be well outside my price range. However, they are saying that the standard 2.0 TFSI model is possibly going to be quicker than the outgoing TTS which would be impressive and quite tempting. Again though with a suggested starting price of £28k by the time you add a few options you could easily be £35k plus and the one thing I've learned with Audi is they rarely offer any sort of discount
This is where the R probably becomes more and more appealing given its price and performance
Really liking the new TT. The MK2 looks way better than the MK1 to me, I was wondering how they would top the MK2, and was fearful they'd cock it up trying to be too different. It's like a MK2 but with a meaner front end. The Scirocco has a mean looking front end and the MK2 TT isn't mean enough.
If I can get the missus driving shortly (she'll have to when i'm made redundant and have to work elsewhere - she currently gets dropped off on my way to work and picked up on my way home), and in something practical (she wants an A1 S-line - could I persuade her to be in the GTD? Probably not, she thinks it is "big"), I could see myself in the TT. I'm not one for getting stuck into the options list as it really bumps up the monthly price with poor retained value on them. If it comes with Xenon or LED lights, parking sensors, rain sensors and auto dimming rear view mirror, that'd be enough for me.
The multimode TFT instrument screen looks to me like it'll be standard fit across the range as the secondary screen has disappeared from the interior to keep it looking sleek inside.
Discount will be difficult with the TT - looked into how cheaply I could get the missus an A1 S-line, and 8% off RRP through a broker is the best I can find, despite it being out for 3 years.
