(Another)....Help with buying a motor thread, Audi TT

moby2101

Hi,
I’m helping my sister buy a new, second hand car. We’re going tyre kicking this morning. She has her heart set on an Audi TT , 2016 onwards. I’ll probably end up going to the UK and driving it back, anyone here have first hand experience/knowledge of these. All help, info greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

Petrol or diesel ?

FWD or quattro ?

Hi,

Probably petrol ... she doesn’t do big mileage.

Is the Quattro worth paying the extra?

Quattro is worth the extra if you’re a driver, not worth it if you just like pretty things. Better resale on a Quattro.

Sitting in Audi’s new dealership in Limerick awaiting the salesman.
New showroom is seriously swish. No TT of any description in stock. No TT in any Joe Duffy premises. Are they that rare?
Looks like a trip to UK

Post 2008 petrol TTs are rare as hen's teeth in this country. There is a 2015 TT petrol for sale in Dublin but it's a drop top.

If your thinking of importing then VRT might be high on them.

Cheers bazz

I really know very little about them.
She really needs to drive one before we go looking at imports.
Clock ticking on brexit also , so conscious of this .
Heading into Conlans now to check out Minis

Is she just looking for something that looks nice or does she want something that handles and performs well?

You know women!!!
Both....
She’s always had nice cars in the past.
Bit of a petrol head
She’s had Alfa’s and a golf git in the past

I think I bought their last TT demo in 2017 :pac:

Most of my driving is on the motorway so keep it in efficiency 2 wheel drive mode. Nice to put it into quattro every now and then.

What about a BMW 2 or 4 Series coupe?

moby2101

Ha!
I’ve a 4 Coupe she thinks it’s too big!
Looked at a 2 series also but she has decided it’s gonna be a TT , Mini Hatch 3 door with all the bells and whistles is a possibility also.

Hi, thanks so much for the offer . Neither of us around tomorrow unfortunately. .
Might take you up on it though,
Been looking at some reviews and they are all very positive.
Thanks again

Sorry, just back from a family gathering.

Should be able to arrange another time. Possibly at the coffee and cars thing.
