It's like any car with a sport model that comes with a tuned engine, it has more power. OK, if power is what you want, it has more power, but power isn't the only factor in what makes a car fun or not. An expect 40 horse gives it an obvious jump, but the TT isn't fun because of that. It's fun because of the way it drives. No, stating you've driven all three models makes me think you haven't driven it. How would anyone, who hasn't owned the car, remember that a car they clearly didn't like had a sport option for the base model that raises the horsepower by 40? No one remembers that, you looked it up after I told you you've never driven one, saw in a table three different horsepower numbers and said you've driven the three different engines. There's actual VAG fanboys on Vortex that wouldn't have been able to tell me that. But someone who clearly hates German cars can tell me that? If it looks like a duck.
It does sneak up on you. Do you know what that means? Entry level sports cars like the TT usually don't have that much power. They're not meant to outrace a car more than $20,000 more expensive. They zip around the road, which the TT does, they feel faster than they are, because they're tiny, and they're meant to be fun to drive. The Mark I TT won a lot of awards, runner up to North American Car of the Year, on the Car and Driver top 10 list numerous times, one of the cars' that sent Audi from being no where close to BMW and Mercedes to making the Big 2 a Big 3. Mark I TT's move very quickly in used car inventories. They're a cheap (both in price and to fix) option for someone wanting a summer car. That's what it is. I haven't made it to be anymore than that, and it's the exact kind of car the OP was looking for. That's why I posted it. But because people would rather be assholes then actually accept that it's a good suggestion for what the OP wants even if you don't like the car, and I really don't give a fuck if you don't like the car, there's a ton of people who would hate Corvette's. Go have fun with them. My opinion isn't wrong because you don't like Audi's. This thread didn't have to turn into 4 pages of me trolling and flaming, but that's what you get when people decide to be pricks and bring up something from more than a month ago. Not my problem. And if you decide to be an asshole and act like a fucking idiot to this post too, I'll do it again. I don't really care, I enjoy flaming people and getting things heated up. I won't follow your posts around because I really don't give a fuck, but respond to my posts like an asshole, and I'll play the part of an angry asshole right back. I really don't care.
I'm guessing an audi TT would be just as fun as the ford escort we bought and made into a convertible. As for something that would be fun to drive normally? Doubt it.
Only downside was the car only lived for half the weekend being jumped in the sand mine and smashed into trees and railroad ties.
