The only thing that won't fit in basically a Miata, is large furniture (that cannot be dis-assembled) or appliances and those can be put in an Ikea trailer (around here you can rent those for free cause they are then a rolling billboard for Ikea).

    The TT was originally released when I was 15, and as a teenager who wasn’t quite old enough to drive yet, I thought it was one of the coolest cars I’d ever seen. Now almost 40, I recently bought a 20 year old TT, and I love it. No shame. It’s waaaay more fun to go balls to the wall in a modestly fast car than to be constantly trying to reign in a very fast car.

    • @mndlessdrwer
      @mndlessdrwer Год назад +2

      100% accurate. I modded my car to get it to just over 300HP and it's honestly more than I can reasonably use on public roads. I've no idea how fast my car can actually go, I just know it's over 140MPH. It has also become a highway passing monster. As long as your car has enough power to get out of its own way and get itself out of trouble then you're just fine. You've got enough power to have fun and little enough to help you avoid immediately losing your license or getting into a terrible accident.

    "You only get so many laps around the sun, so get the car you really want."
    Mr. Regular, thank you for that sentence. It pushed the right buttons for me. I bought my first car a year ago and despite all the advice everyone gave me (like "buy something smaller, but newer"), I got myself the car of my dreams. You can all take your advice and shove it where the sun doesn't shine, because I'm now driving a Mercedes. Old and slow one, but beautiful, reliable and incredibly comfortable one.

    • @matthewkoch6937
      @matthewkoch6937 4 года назад +3

      I needed to hear this as well. I honestly don't feel safe in newer, smaller cars, so I buy large, older, comfortable ones. Who cares if I drive an "old man's car?" It's reliable, it fits me, and I own it outright. That's what matters.

    • @SI0AX
      @SI0AX 9 лет назад +32

      +The Red Buffoon Well to be honest he stalled again right after he finished cranking the engine on that hill. That is what gave him that reaction. I thought the same thing to be honest. It's the AWD and the extra weight of the car with the hard clutch.
      I have an AWD car. It was my 2nd manual car. I noticed the clutch was super hard and the car would stall out immediately if you didn't give a lot of gas. If you did give it enough gas ,but released the clutch pedal a little too fast, it would launch!
      When I first got it, I stalled at every single stop light as soon as it turned green. I would then launch the car after I finished cranking.
      I lug it a bit every now and then...

    The TT is surprisingly roomy considering how small it looks from the outside. My family has one (manual 180hp 1.8T Quattro, 2004 model IIRC) and we also used it when moving. You can even fit all four wheels _in_ the car - I know this because I've tried.
    I love that car. Looks good, sounds decent, and it's slow enough that you can just floor it whenever you want without worrying about crashing or going over the speed limit too much, but still fast enough so it never feels slow. It's quite comfortable, too.
    In other words, it's a great sporty daily driver.

If someone wants a nice autocross car for the weekends, and a car that makes them smile everyday, they COULD buy this. I have driven a few (on the street and autocross course) and really think they are good cars. I did buy a Miata instead of this though, and im glad about that.

    Great review. I drive one of these and I love it. I often find myself toying around with the idea of buying a different car, but then I sit inside of my TT and everything just feels so right. However, I would recommend buying the 225hp, 6 speed, dual exhaust version. It is just the better package. With a few small (but pricy) modifications, it really wakes up and performs pretty well. Is it a track weapon? No. But it is fun, safe, fuel efficient-ish, rips through snow and has a surprising amount of space for a quasi 2-seater. And looks, I got looks for days! Everybody thinks the car is much newer and more expensive than it is. Timeless look.

  • @drivereight1522
    @drivereight1522 9 лет назад +9

    Had an '02 quattro roadster, with the 225 HP engine chipped up to about 250, and 18" wheels. It looked great, was extremely comfortable, even on long trips, and even managed a couple of low-key track days. It ran reliably and my daughter, who was 10 or so at the time, loved it. I ended up trading it on a tow vehicle for my actual track car, but still miss it. An under-appreciated, fun little car. But I don't think I ever stalled it....

    I had one of these little cars except mine was a 2001 TT Roadster with Quattro AWD and 225-hp. And 6-Speed transmission, obviously. (I never stalled it once either /s) Not too bad on fuel, about 22/30 mpg. It was really sweet ride with the top down. I drove it across the country, through the Rockies and Sierra Nevada, the Sonoran, the Great Plains, etc etc. I even cruised down PCH from SF to SD. It was like a dream. Anyway, someone stole it and wrapped it around a tree; they totaled it. I miss that car.

I also ended up hitting 3rd instead of 5th from time to time. Fun car to drive, hell to maintain as it was out of warranty.

  • @RadioMuse1
    @RadioMuse1 9 лет назад +2

    Mr. Regular hit the nail on the head when it comes to the TT when it was new.
    The reason to dismiss the TT now is more that, like anything on the MKIV Golf platform, it gets weird electrical issues if you look at it funny or live in any place with "weather". It also (rightly) gets some flack for it's stock (lack of) performance and quirky (read: bad) handling when it's pushed. I know someone who had one of these and it tended to understeer right up until you lift a little and then BAHM! it rotated in a panic-inducing way that required you to jump back and the throttle to save. Sure, that just means there's a learning curve, and you could learn to adapt your driving style to it...

    • @RadioMuse1
      @RadioMuse1 9 лет назад

      +RadioMuse1
      But why should such a thing actually act worse than it's Golf (particularly R32, since that was also AWD, but was known for feeling more planted) and A3 brethren? Maybe it's just the styling that convinces us that its; supposed to be a "sports car" which results in higher standards. I guess I wouldn't know since I've never driven a MKIV Golf or A3 from this era. I just know the TT was chippy.

    Super review. I owned an 04 TT. It was slightly modified for a little more power and quicker handling and it was perfect. Fun in the dry and an absolute blast in the snow. Never walked up to that car without feeling it was artwork. If I could have kept the check engine out longer than three weeks at a time I’d still own it. If you want one buy one. Now.

    It's funny 'cause here in Europe this car is actually considered very, very badass and sexy looking :P

      Risto In germany women drive 50hp microcars. An Audi TT consumes like 13L/100km so it's a true man's car in germany ironically because women don't like to waste loads of money on cars.

      @@3O2MuStAnG I don't know where in Germany you live, but in my city there's a pink TT driving around and my former chemistry teacher's wife drives a TT.. But well.. He drives a Fiat 500.

    I owned a 1st gen 225 for literally 30 days. Bought it second hand from a dealer, full service history, 80k miles, freshly serviced, all boxes were ticked that should be. 3 weeks after owning it, the oil pump failed and despite immediately turning the engine off after seeing the low oil pressure warning light, the sump was full of metal. For short amount of time it worked, it was super fun. But there are so many things that can go wrong with that 1.8T engine and the quattro system buying one second hand is an absolute minefield.

    It’s like you’re in my brain!
    I loved my first gen and I’m about to buy a 3rd gen TTS on Monday. I also own at least two Philips BodyGroom shavers (and the boys - if they could talk - would thank me).
    Keep being you, RCR. Much love from the North Carolina coast.

    The 180 hp model is meh. Try out one of the 225 hp quattro models. I had one and absolutely loved it.

    This got real phylosofical at the end lol. I love every gen of TT they're such a fun cars to drive and if you take out the rear seats on a first gen and do some weight reduction and stage 1 engine mods you will be almost unbeatable on a track. These engines with a correct tune and good parts can hold up to a insane amount of abuse

    @RegularCars I keep hoping that I'll see my car in one of your reviews, since a lot of them are in my area. Well this was the closest one yet, since you literally drove by my house lol.

    You forgot about the first gen that would lose traction on the back wheel at high speed and kill ppl.

      DDOGJENKINZ the very first Gen didn't have the small wing in the back and cars would lose control on the autobahns. There are a couple of videos here of the accidents.

      Miner Mhowardzz that's what I said. The first generation didn't have, then they added it to fix the issue.
