Taken Up Hairdressing.. Again

Beepcake · 4 Mar 2013 at 12:26

Those who remember me from days of yore may recall I used to have a TT coupe. Due to the fact I'll soon be doing a lot less mileage I decided to pickup a Mk2 TT coupe in grey/silver, but after seeing this, and test driving it, I've ended up going the "full hairdresser" and getting a roadster in bright red ;-)

It's the 2.0TFSI with the Mag Suspension - really very impressed with how it drives - completely different beast to the old one.

Not quite an E39 M5 though is it?

No, but it's significantly less effort to polish ;-)

Every cloud and all that!

I was looking for something small and fun - I've had nothing but big cars since the last TT, and we've still got the Mondeo estate for big jobs/ferrying the dogs around, and the X1 for fitting more people in, so a 2 seater seemed like a good fit

How would you say it drives compared to the mk1? I fitting a bigger rear anti roll bar soon to try and get a better turn in feel on mine, just feels a bit numb.

I used to love the mk1, but it was fun in an "on rails" kind of way (like a Scooby) The ml2 seems much lighter, more agile and much more of an involving drive. Sure, it's not RWD, so there's no a**e out action, but it's good fun and the mag suspension is excellent.
