Right.

So... Why the change?

Cleisthenes · 4 Oct 2017 at 10:42

I think that's sort of fair enough (sort of).

The TTS is engaging in a different way, it sucks you in to corners due to the insane amount of grip from quattro and its also quick off the mark. Did I mention how much I love the interior?

I sometimes question why didn't I just get the best of the 3 and get the Cayman S, but again it falls down to discount and what I'm willing to part with a month to hit the savings targets I have.

Sometimes people just want to try something different for a while. I do like that motors always want an essay requiring people to explain themselves in 300 words or less.

Akagi · 4 Oct 2017 at 11:34

He used 303 words so I'm afraid we have to throw the case.

TBH Audi does have BMW licked when it comes to interiors lower down in the range. Was in a 420d Gran Coupe the other day and the interior was particularly low rent (pun intended). Current A4 is obviously miles better, but even the previous generation A4 has high quality materials and feel.

Yup my z4 is joke interior wise lol. My old Mazda 3 was better screwed together and didn't rattle half as much lol.

So I ditched the Porsche for a truck

97 Hilux with some serious lift! 3ltr turbo diesel engine swap, side exit exhausts (no boxes) It's obnoxiously loud, crazy to drive and puts a massive grin on my face I'm sure my neighbours hate me already lol

Have I seen this in Horsham? Early this morning...

Stunning TTS...but then I am a little biased.

Selling my A5 Coupe (17) despite it being a nice cruiser it is like a semi-hot woman with no banter, taking the plunge on a C63 AMG (4.0+2T), should have it before the end of the month. Torn between black/blue/gunmetal, what's the consensus? Will post pics soon. (and yes I am getting the exhaust upgrade its mandatory imo!)

I am so happy you said that, was fishing for endorsements that blue is >*.* I thought it was just me...

I like black and grey but I would like to see more blue cars on the road. As black grey white and silver are everywhere. I think it might be less stealthy and not blend in as well but at the same time you are driving a v8 so blending is not top priority. It's also not crazy like bright yellow or green or orange which is a bit too show off.

I think a nice metallic blue will look great.

Sames goes for my '58 Mazda 6 vs my '64 Fiesta ST. Only one rattle from the glovebox which I should be able to fix whereas the Fiesta was awful, made worse by the rock hard suspension.

I have the TTs Mk2 and I'm still unsure on the Mk3. For starters, it seems bigger than the Mk2 and I don't like the 20" alloys on it, they looks ridiculous. I have no plans to upgrade to the Mk3 just yet and I may need some convincing if I do. However, I've been looking at the S5 or F-type in a few years anyway...so things will change yes.

Glad you like it mate, they're a cracking drive!
