I like how you are talking about you can pick up a TT for 5k to 6k car when your actually driving a 14k to 15k car.
he addresses this in the video :-)
4:17
You cant get a TTs for 5K
I bought my stronic TTS quattro with 270bhp for 8k. So yeah if you wanted to you could get a basic TT for around 5k.
I'm selling my 3.2 V6 Q for 4000£
My 75 year old mother’s mk2 TT saved her life with its excellent crash engineering. She went head on into a full size Chevrolet truck (US) at 65 mph. The front of the TT crumpled, the engine and transmission separated and were 100ft down the road, all airbags blew and the seatbelt preload charge went. The cabin of the car was virtually untouched otherwise, doors operated as normal. Really remarkable engineering. Side note, she swapped into the TT from the same year GTi and the Audi felt like a much more resolved product to drive and just felt special.
I didn't know the sun came out in England
The sun never goes "in"
sure, our winters are only 7 or 8 months...then windy all year...and rains in ...well April, May, June, July - August can be mixed ..September starts to improve..with cold nights...then frosts start again in october......would love to live in California or around the Med for a year to see how other folk live - we hibernate for over half the yr - I am now a pensioner...last time I looked I was 30.....
@@davidstuart4915 you mean you love to live in Mexico aka California snm
It did last year. On a Monday.
edition skills
I bought mine a couple of months ago here in Spain for 9K, it's the FWD version which I prefer, the Quattro is a lot heavier (a little over 200 kg I think) although will have more traction. Even at 9K in our own "sporty" car market bubble, it's an amazing value. The fact you can get one in the UK for even less than 3K now... Unbelievable value for money. The interior is nice, and the car pulls. 200 hp, which in my opinion seem to be an underrated figure in that BWA engine.
I just sold a 2011 e92 m3 stage 2....and I own a 500 bhp Evo 8 too....but my daily is a TT TDI 170 black edition, and what a car I prefer to drive the Audi actually
TT’s whole series give you SOOO MUCH for the money! Had a 2012 TT Quattro and now have 2016 TTS Quattro! Best car for life!
All these comments complaining about the Audi TT lol. I own a MK1 and I love it. I got it for $5k with very low miles in the USA. The MK2 are slightly more expensive but something else to keep in mind is that in europe the Audi TT's are much cheaper than in the USA. Anyways, I love the video, you should do a video about your original MK1 TT!
I am in Wales UK ...I have an Audi TT Mk 2 TFSI 2.0 S Line 2012 model...in dakota metallic grey 40000 miles and all I can say is I absolutly love it
Is the stock car fast?
Just bought the 3.2 VR6 Quattro version it sounds incredible and pulls like a train being pulled by a train, paid 6k for it under 90k miles,and it was by no means the cheapest option out there.
When I saw this car first time in street I fell in love at first sight. I know that soon Audi TT will be my first car :)
Enjoy but, thats definently not the best first car my guy. Be aware of the mantainance costs...
@@hovannesoo3663 This car is a fairly rare case on the streets. But I love the design of the Audi TT, especially the first series. And what other first car can be good option?
@@tomasjasulevicius721 It really is beautiful, but an audi a3 8p would be a nice start! Either the 1.9TDI or the 1.6 petrol (not fsi), both bullet proof engines. A Honda civic ep1 or ep2 would be fun too, they basically live longer then humans. Don't get me wrong the TT is beautiful, but it can get you in serious trouble my man.
@@hovannesoo3663 @armanhov 1 Thank you, man, for advice, but for me, car design is one of the important thing in car. Every car have own good things and bad and all cars need to be repairing time to time. I don't like Honda Civic, Audi A3 would be better option, but I think, that I need to buy Audi TT.
You want to say that TT have seriuos problems with engines?
@@tomasjasulevicius721 Yes, I love Audi but the VAG company (Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Seat....) is not manufacturing reliable engines.....
The Audi TT with the 2.0 TDI is "okayish" but the petrol engines wont be easy on ur Pocket..... If u really don't give a fuck about the money, go for it and enjoy.
I love japanese Cars because of their Reliability like Toyota/Lexus, Honda, Subaru, Suzuki....
They have great First Cars that look good and are fun too.
But as I said, you gotta drive what you love Buddy! ;)
I purchased an 11 plate TTS in 2018, it was very low mileage at 40k ish, I paid £16500 for it, but I don't regret that at all, the TTS has a better air intake and larger turbo and produces 275hp stock, I'm looking to get a cold air induction kit and a stage 1 or 2 remap to push it past the 300hp mark. My only criticism of the TTS is that it doesn't come with a fixed spoiler or grooved discs. An after market spoiler is on my to buy list, but I have already fitted drilled and grooved discs.
Just bought a 2010 S Line Mk 2. It drives superbly. Absolutely loves the corners, accelerates effortlessly. I thought my VW Scirocco was a nice drive but the Audi is next level.
How is it 2 years later?
@@martinyzfr I sold it 18 months ago and got the Mk3 facelift model.
@@BeatsDownGaming was it reliable?
@@martinyzfr I had two issues. One was the spark plugs going while on the motorway which put it into limp mode. The other was a fault where the alarm would go off randomly. Highly annoying when it's 2am in the morning.
@@BeatsDownGaming i feel you 😂 thanks man
Guys, does anyone know if the spoiler is a modification or do the newer TTs come with fixed spoilers? im picking up a 07 TT with an adaptive spoiler but would be looking to get a fixed one installed.
Cheers
I enjoyed watching this, it is always nice to hear what others think of the mk2 TT and rarely is it a disappointing story. I love owning the TT, it is a real pleasure to drive, given that it is a little heavy for its size but the AWD quattro does put out massively when cornering. I will say this though, when it fails, you know about it... and you realise you have been taking it for granted since (very noticable understeer). "Quattro" is just an Audi brand, and for anyone who doesn not know, the company behind this system is called Haldex, many other automotive manufacturers install Haldex units e.g. Ford and their Kuga. The Haldex unit, housed near the rear differential consists of the clutch itself, an electronic controller, an oil pump and an oil filter, and the rest...
For anyone who owns one of these, or is thinking of buying one, a regular service also includes a haldex oil change but should include haldex oil filter change.
Audi don't supply haldex oil filters as a servicable part, they claim they are a non-servicable (life-time fitment) but they are the major reason for the haldex pump failure after 40-50k miles. And not doing so results in your pump being clogged up and burning out prematurely, you can get a haldex oil filter from haldexrepairs.co.uk. You're welcome :)
Great thing you point that out to people. But, I have to say as an owner of a TTS for 2 weeks now, I haven't noticed the car losing any traction at all. One important thing to point about mine is, my tyres are 50% worn and 1 of them at the front is 78% worn.. I don't really understand why people want to make Haldex look "worse" than the torsen. Imagine the TT having torsen Quattro how heavier it would be, also when it comes to hard acceleration from a stop still haven't seen the ESP light coming on. Anyway, I checked on Audi's site for the haldex service because the car has 43k miles and it's priced for 100£, I believe different garages might even charge you more. Nevertheless I appreciate that you're alerting people. 🤝
Excellent info buddy, spot on. I hope ppl take heed of this advice 👍🏾
Its not as heavy as others. In fwd version actually is one of the lightest cars carrying 1.8 or 2.0 engine..no problem with its traction, if you change the sway bars it becomes different car. It is a very good platform for tuning .as for the haldex filter you are right.. i have cleaned it cause i wasnt aware of the after market filter.no problem here for 240k km
Really like those, you don't see them everywhere. One of the things I like about them. And the tuneability, oh man. I would have add another 100 hp/ft-lb of torque if I do end up getting one.
I'd recommend the TTS then.
He is absolutely correct absolutely the purchase price, running costs, practicality and driving fun of owning a mark 2. Yes the mark 3 might be better but a lot pricier, and the mark 1 may look great but doesn’t drive that well. Bang for buck you cannot beat a mark 2 TT. Try to avoid going too cheap as basket case cars will cost more in expenses and hassle in the long run. Go for the best mark 2 you can afford with full service history and which looks as though it hasn’t been maintained on a shoestring.
Is the question "why so cheap" actually answered in the video?
Short answer - No.
Long answer - No, cause he doesn't know what he's talking about, he just wants to brag.
He’s just talking twaddle. He’s driving a 14-15k car and claiming its 5k and as you say say’s nothing.
That was exactly what I was looking for
and here's me driving around in a £500 banger
Not "everyone" can afford 5K & up
Imagine! That brand new its 20K upwards and people still cant afford it after 8 years at 5k! Keep working hard my friend one day! You will.
Yeah but the point he is making is that these £5k Audi TT's are one of the biggest bargains available in the used car market, ever.
@@kriso4447 You haven't seen the Mercedes SLK 250 AMG then!
@@yolkava9458 lol lucky to pick one of those up for £8k but i know what you mean. On just above minimum wage working 55 hours a week i manage to save £500 per month as long as i don't run into any unexpected bills. Thats 16 months to save for one without taking tax, insurance and any initial work needed into account. Trouble is, its all good n well me saying that but then theres saving for a mortgage and putting away emergency money too! Car prices are nuts and it hurts :(
@@homebrewinstrumentals7700 Where will you find time to drive the car after 55 hours a week! lol I know I said keep working hard but cmon you have to live to see yourself on a forecourt buying the car with your hard earned money :P
I just bought an 2008 3.2 V6, sounds and feels amazing, love the interior, has a really good handling (still haven't any oversteer issues) loving the car so far
How much..?
How much do you think a 2014 TT would cost here in the states?
I have a 2016 Mk3 and I adore it. It’s just a great all round car. Here in the US they’re rare, the base price of a TT is the same as an A5. The Mk3 is also my favourite generation of the TT. The front looks more menacing while the rear end is pure TT. Whatever generation it’s an iconic design.
Nah... Electric parking breaks in a sports car!?
All things depreciate. The mk2 dropped with the 3 coming out but there are the TTRS models if you want to still pay daft money for a mk2 . Had a 2.0 tfsi from new in 2009 still drives really well. Feels as tight as my 2015 GTI pp
A mk2 is indeed expensive in the 2nd gen range but is it? I mean it is an RS, with a 5-cyl engine including that amazing warble. A mint one (70 000km, high spec) can be had in Belgium/Germany for around 27k EUR. Of course, maintenance, fuel, etc. will make it too expensive to run for a lot of people, but that is the same with a lot of "older" M or AMG cars.
How realiable is it? I’m considering changing my 2015 Ibiza cupra with the 1.4L twin charger (turbo and supercharger) with 180hp for a 2008 Audi TT 2.0Tfsi
@@AntonioHorcasitasFITNESSyou found an answer for your question at all? I’m looking too!
@@enjoythesilence5358 yes, there are TT forums which led me to follow the common faults and had no problem doing the preventative maintenance.
You should consider labor costs isn’t high in Mexico, and parts are not that expensive since the engine is shared with the GTI from the same production years. So Engine EA888 same common faults as GTI, so really no problem at all.
I’ve had it for a year and I’ve done:
Alternator belt
Several hoses (due to age) started with a little oil and coolant leak
Turbos pressure sensor
DSG maintenance
Tail lights fault fue to bad earth (common problem)
Mine is 2008 with 147k km
Other than that, pretty much replacing coil packs and spark plugs and your regular oil change.
Will be replacing shocks as well pretty soon. (Not going to pay for mag ride, I’ll get some bilstein instead).
Hope that sums it up, and helps you as well.
It has been a great car to drive, excellent drivetrain and engine and good reliability in my opinion.
Nice review. I had a TT diesel in this shape as a company car about 10 years ago and it didn't really excite me (probably because my previous car was a Civic Type-R), but I'm tempted to give the TT another chance, and get one with a petrol engine next time.
You are wrong Wong. Ya cannot compare a diesel with a bensin. Honda makes great cars though. The quality of Audi has decreased. My clutch (Mk2) cracked down at 25000km. $ 2750.-!
Back in June, I got my 2008 MK2 TSI manual, in the iconic Daytona grey with a cream interior that looks and drives brilliantly! Perfect car for my 1000 miles/month commute around West Yorkshire (mainly A and B roads). It has now 60K miles on the clock, 10 years of full-service history. Paid £6.9K in Harrogate. Dreamt of owning one for 20 years! Took it for a wheel tracking the other day and it still looks new underneath. The mechanic working on it so impressed by how clean the car looks considering its age. Will endeavour to keep it as original and "analogue" as possible. Already own a second and modern-day car with satnav, etc. The appeal on TT for me is that it drives like a modern fast car while having more of a classic, timeless interior design and kit.
Im thinking about buying a tts mk2, you think the car is fast and fun to drive?
@@ricardodomingos8233 absolutely fun and fast, mine is a manual, petrol, 2 litre, 211HP and 280nm of torque. You could always tune it to get 50hp or so more and up to 100nm but I don't think it's necessary as the stock setup gives me just the right level of thrill and fun no other car ever did 😊
I wanted a tt mk 1 . I took my time .quite a lot of time actually. And saved my pennies up. All the time I was saving I was gaining information. I found a nice black on black one only 10 miles away in a dealers.the one for me . I've had it 6 years now .still looks good .never been any trouble. I've just had the cambelt done as I intend to keep it as long as I can .it's not worth a great deal of money .but it didn't cost me a lot either . . I reckon it's cost me 3k in depreciation for the last 3 years.yes about 20 pounds a week. Very good value I'm happy with it . I recommend them. Just buy the best lowest mileage one you can .
Great review man!
great vid. this my next car. they are gorgeous. just sold my bmw 1 series coupe
I love Jaime reviews...
i bought 57 plate tt 2l tfsi £6,500 78,000miles ,i love it ,not practical? i go camping i can get 4 berth tent all accesories and 2 folding mounting bikes in the boot! remapped to 250 bhp and still get 47.4 mpg on a run!!
great vid mate i have a TT love it done a few vids on it
Great video man. I just picked up a 2007 Audi TT 3.2 V6 Quattro, near showroom condition, only 46k on the clock, full Audi service history, 4 brand new Continental tyres, and a major service done 4 weeks ago...for £6000. WTF? Why are these awesome cars being literally given away?
I had to sell my 2016 Focus RS to help pay the deposit on my new house. Was gutted. Then I found the TT, and you know what? If I had them both on my drive I'd probably drive the TT more than the Focus RS. The noise from that Audi V6 is more addictive than cocaine. The Audi turns more heads than the RS did, and the RS cost me £34k!
Snap these awesome giveaways up while you can guys, I reckon we have a future classic here.
I just wanna add to that, I have a pal in Amsterdam, was telling me the other day that the car i just paid £6k for would be around €15k over there.
Suspension, needs a rebuild, few other issues
cos its over 12 yrs old when you bought it?
@@davidstuart4915 yes that is a big part of why. Its also because it does 20mpg and the tax is £550 per year, so people aren't really buying these types of used car. Really though my comment was rhetorical, alluding to the fact that it's a hell of a lot of car for the money, especially with the mileage of a 4 year old car.
They are definitely a good price. I'm 31 years old and I keep saying youngster have such a selection of cars to choose from. From Clio/Mégane sport vxrs civic type r available below 4k to your German cars such as 135i and TTS
Are these decent in snow ?
This is my dream car. I can’t decide between black, gunmetal or white 🤔just bought a 2011 bmw 118d for cheap. High mileage but well looked after. Wish I could justify getting one of these instead. Anyway, aiming for one of these in a couple of years. Time to get to work! 🙌 thanks for the vid. Now everyone is going to be inflating prices before I can buy one! 😂
What’s all this I get from other people? Dude don’t get it! Timing chain issue that causes the valves to drop onto the piston frying the engine with little to no warning? I’m looking at one now but it’s got 93,000 miles on it not sure if I should take the chance.?
Bought a 58 plate MK2 TFSI, FWD, 59K miles in daytona grey with the nice cream leather that looks amazing for under 7K. Really good car and it's a joy to drive it on A and B roads around Yorkshire.
Is the car fast?
@@ricardodomingos8233 absolutely fun and fast, mine is a manual, petrol, 2 litre, 211HP and 280nm of torque. You could always tune it to get 50hp or so more and up to 100nm but I don't think it's necessary as the stock setup gives me just the right level of thrill and fun no other car ever did 😊
@@ricardodomingos8233 I'd recommend you to take it for a test drive and don't go just by specs. People tend to forget how lightweight the car is which helps with that speed sensation you get when it launches or develops speed. I'm very happy with the quality and see this 2008 example lasting many years considering how well its built. Had it fully inspected recently and the specialist was super impressed by how clean it looked underneath. Make sure you do your homework and don't go for the cheapest one though.
@@JWL-UK Im looking for a semiauto 2.0 tfsi 272hp 2008/2009, if you say yours its already fun, I cant imagine 272hp!
Ty very much for the info 👍
@@ricardodomingos8233 no worries! I wouldn't rule out a manual if you're an enthusiast though 😊
I've got the v6 dsg version on 07 plate. Lot of car for the money. Still quick now
Are they 5k are they .. didnt hear u say it
I have recently bought a TT MK1 225 BAM.
things i don't like:
- understeer
- abysmal turning circle
Everything else is decent, not the fastest car out there so don't be trying to out do anybody but its a good daily.
Had a MK2 V6 S-Tronic Cab.
Nice for pootling about in and sounded nice. Quickly got tired of 24mpg and it was a numb boring car.
Maybe the 2.0 petrol with a remap is a better package?
If you were tired of 24 mpg, why didn’t you just buy a manual transmission? You probably would’ve got better mileage.
Kevin Norris - the DSG gets better mileage!
So these vids tend to be whatever HCC has on its forecourt?
does that matter, to anyone watching from literally anywhere else in the world? just an entertaining video
Awesome review jamie. Love a tt. Would defo get a vr6 one if i ever got one
Too heavy, TTS all the way.
Hi Jamie yes I own an Audi TT 225 6 speed manual mk1 I also own a Mercedes SL 55 AMG much as I love my AMG I have to say I drive my TT much more it's cheap to run in comparison to the supercharged 5.5 liter V8 AMG I get almost as much fun out of the TT for a fraction of the price
Only know seeing your post and yes your bang in the money , these are just so cheep know to purchase. I actually have had 3 mark 1 TT , two being the TT 225 all wheel drive . One being the beastly boy , 3.2 Audi TT 225 , loved the 3.2 . I am going to get a 3.2 Audi mark to soon , any advice ?
I was planning on buying one pretty soon since they tend to price at 10k-21k here in the states
Agree but heading states why so cheap yet no reasons you mentioned as to why?
I own the MK3 TTS Roadster and it’s fantastic. Great to drive and reliable solid car. Here in Australia they sell for $120k but I got mine $83k brand new.
What do you do Mr Dylan ?
Chris B I build and implement software systems for resources and energy companies.
DylValentine Interesting, out of curiosity did you go to college for a software development degree ?
Chris B no, after high school I was done with education, I went into the workforce with an entry level job and worked my way up from there, learning from experience :)
I wanted one but they don't come manual in the US. So i ended up getting a Mk1 225.
I want one soo bad! been looking at the one's that are £5000 but i don't want heeps of problems with it.
Audi TT is an absolutely beatiful liability.
You didn't really explain why they're so cheap...
My uncle has a silver mk1 with 265bhp, soon to be 320bhp with forged pistons and a bigger turbo😁
Is that it 320bhp? Lol 🤣
The version Jamie is driving (Black edition "Amplified") are still £10 to £15k mileage condition dependant. Beautiful looking car more aggresive looking than the MK3
I bought a 58plate with 15K on the clock 3 years ago now has 40K on the clock. Love every minute driving her. 2.0ltr TDI Quattro no mods well the exhaust seems a tiny bit altered maybe. She’s fast. Have been running on the same tires for the last 3 years and will be changing them in the next 2 months that should work out at £500 not bad if they last the same time maybe longer. Love this TT.
2008 Boxster are not in the same ball park price as TT! Try £12-14k
Is the video mirrored, or is the wheel on the right side?
It’s right side the proper side
I’m buying one 😍 I will love to find a red one
Did you end up getting one ?
We have the same car in a convertible.... lovely.
But what happens when anything goes wrong as parts aren't cheap for any german car
Any* German car?? Nope. VW parts are quite affordable and many of them work for Audi. Beyond that, just grab the Bremmen stamped parts and it's even cheaper.
Just keep on top of things if you buy for 5k you are cutting out silly deprecation for starters I've got a mk 1 tt that's a 190 bhp a 2055 model. I'm a 69 year old so not really interested in getting a remap.i find it plenty fast enough and ecconomical for me as standard. I've just had the cam belt changed +full kit cost only £318 I find that reasonable.
I’ve got my sline last year for 11.5k 2011 low mileage .
There is literally not a single Audi TTS on auto-trader for less than £7000
Matthew Jakobs he’s not in a TTS
Few at the mo
I just found a great car on Auto Trader:
www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201909031795339
Maybe there was before this video dropped!
There are plenty of TTs on Craigslist for cheap in US, but if you research online they get horrible reliability ratings. I was between a BMW Z3 and an Audi TT, I ended up getting the Z3 because the early TTs seem to blow power steering racks/hydraulics often and had terrible reliability. Really low user/owner scores online. I thought the Z3 would be nightmare too but 35,000 miles later and my Z3 is cruising along. Gets 28MPG too if you keep it at 65MPH highway. Miata and S2000 are way better in reliability though. I would have gotten 20 MR2’s if the stupid things had trunks :/
nice info, but nobody seems to care. it is life, i guess. i liked.
I never had one of these , but wish I had , I had 2 Toyota mr2s and 4 Celica's , But I think the TT would of been more fun i considered a z3 too.
You didn't once say why its so cheap, only explained why ifsba good buy
In Portugal it costs around 30k:(
looking to buy a mk2 v6 3.2 , going for the v6 purely for the sound of the v6 250bhp tons of torque and cheap.... 6k about 80 to 110k on the clock full service history, nice little motor. Cant wait to drive one!
£500 a year road tax :( Forced me to get the 2L TFSI
He said a used audi 5?tt 2014 can be £5,000 - £6,000? Wtf is he talking about? Maybe one thats 1999??
How is anyone affording insurance or even getting insurance for a 225 at 21?
I'm 18 and pay 2600 insurance for standard model tt mk2
Any chance of doing a review on a Audi S3??
I have a s3. Brakes are shit. 300hp gets boring real quick so you want to stage 1/2 real quick. Suspension is terrible when you really push it hard. And dont get me started about the wind that constantly plummets your face when you open driver side window. Meh I'd rather a rs3
Sikip60 eh, I have both s3 and rs3, never heard such rubbish, s3 is a good car, agree rs3 is a lot better, but the s3 is not bad as you suggest
@@stephenpeacock2627
Some people can't appreciate shit. 300 hp car with an S-tronic is fantastic for an every day ride.
I reckon he owns a 2.0tdi.
Has a mk2 tts got a timing chain?
2012 onwards but beware they do have they're problem's
My car had a problem from new i.e poor hot starting which Audi were unable to fix.
Eventually my engine died with only 26k on the clock loosing compression on number 2 cylinder which would have meant a complete engine strip.
1000th like! Can’t wait to get the funds, I’d love to rebuild one of these on my channel!
In Australia the not cheap used , the $100000 brand new
These are still $30,000 + in Canada.

Thanks, great value for that power.
Well, if you go to Norway, you cqn find a decent one for 20 000 dollars, and thats front wheel drive...
I take it that you don't know why they are so cheap, i have also wondered why. I own a 2008 Audi tt quattro roadster 3.2 vr6 with a 6 speed manual, and i think it's the best handling car that i have ever driven, and i have driven many cars in my seventy years on this planet. Having said that they do have many electrical problems.
Amazing
Jamie, totally with you and everything you say about these mk2 cars they are brilliant. Over the last 12 years I have owned two, I bought the first one brand new in 2007 and ran it to 98,000 miles, The second was a 2006 which I bought second-hand and now has over 100,000 miles on the clock and is as sweet as the day I bought it. I have now treated myself to a 2016 Red Porsche Cayman 981 flat six which is excellent, but have no intentions of selling my TT.
How realiable is it? I’m considering changing my 2015 Ibiza cupra with the 1.4L twin charger (turbo and supercharger) with 180hp for a 2008 Audi TT 2.0Tfsi

True. The Nissan's are racy but not as easy to run daily as the TT though. Have had both and the 350Z is horrible on rough roads. Great performance, and wild, but a gas-guzzler. And the interior is shoddy compared to the Audi.
@@christopherbrougham its also true that liking your own comments is sad
@@captiansparkles8139 Oh sorry, didn't realise there was a protocol for sadness. Like liking Nissans?
@@peterwhite2162 That doesnt make sense.
@@captiansparkles8139 Not to the ignorant, no.
Gotta admit they are beutiful cars thinking of getting one myself but the engine sounds like a headache platic fittings
Hey great vid. I can’t decide between a TTS and a GT86. I haven’t driven either yet but any thoughts?
Tts
TTS, i bought a 2013 one 3 months ago, and i tell you, it is really amazing. A TTS is also more powerful than a GT86.
@@thomas-tjcrown8465 thanks for the reply! did you try a gt86? most reviews of the 86 are against the base 1.8 TT and they say the 86 is better. do you notice much turbo lag? did you go for an auto or manual?
@@DesignWarriors i went for an auto, and it is really nice. There is a little turbo lag, but i have a 2.0 model, mine had much more power than the GT86.
Tts for speed and interior quality + awd for all weather, more practical, gt86 for drifting and subie rumble really lol
There a reason he never point out why they are and how reliable it is
Reliable. What about after 120k Miles?
I like the tt. But prefer the Porsche Cayman s. Hold the road better than most cars. Plus a better build but Audi TT are good cars
Does this guy have any idea that this is the black edition ??...U won't get this black edition for 5k like he makes out ...more like 13k plus for a mint low mileage one.
For the car, it’s relatively cheap for what you get. I bought an 08 TT in the states with 76k miles for $10k flat. Clean title but minor rock chips. I get plenty of complements, more importantly, 10k more miles later it shows no signs of needed repairs as of late.
Underated cars, Ive gone from a nicely built 2014 WRX to a 2011 TT RS for the same price. The stock Audi is as good as my WRX with 8 years of carefully planned mods on it.
Now I want to get my GF a 3.2 Auto version to replace her crappy Mazda 3
Just did . . .
I’ve had 2 MK2 TT’s. One convertible and one coupe. By far one of the best sports cars on the market. 2.0T with a stage 2 remap and downpipe - it will shatter most mid range sports cars. The TT is very under estimated. I would defo recommend one for anyone thinking about buying one. Also, they are reliable as fuck and not too bad on petrol (without mods).
@m I own a 2010 Audi TTS and I've never had an issue with my oil consumption. I get it changed about every 6,000 miles.
I have a ‘03 MK1 TT Roadster.
It’s a fun and cool car, love it.
However, NOT cheap.
You need money to keep these things running. I mean real money. Not a couple hundred on the side like a Miata lol
John Castle I have one also and yes they are not cheap! Especially with a stage 2
Pick up a good spec bmw 135i for around the 12k Mark.
So much fun
wank reliability though
30 Year Old Boomer what’s the common problem with them?
@@seifyboy2832 the N54 has a solid block capable of big power, but the rest of it is pretty awful

3k for a mechanically sound TT but the interior electrical is all over the place x-x
@Jamie. Which tribe?
It really shouldn't have that spoiler. That is RS only territory right there. Almost equivalent to putting AMG badges and M badges on none AMG and M cars. BTW I own a TTRS in America. I also owned a 2009 solar orange TTS. The car is good enough the RS spoiler is sacred ground though its really insulting.
I've driven the v6 and the tdi version of this car never seen the need for the tfsi, if you want fun get the v6 if you want economic benefits get the. Tdi
The petrol turbo format was used in the Mk1 so it was bound to carry over. The vr6 engine also carried over was just too thirsty but by far he best sounding ( maybe not as good as the 2.5 RS)and the TDi was never deemed a real sporting car because.. well it’s a diesel 😂 . Tuning wise the petrol turbo is the way to go .
because the tfsi is faster and better on fuel than the vr6, vr6 just sounds nicer
Why would you want to buy a DIESEL sports car 🤢
That’s not a TTs For starters 😂 all TTs on 24 to 35 thousand are selling for 14k to 15k private sale and forecourt.I bought a TTs mk2 Which is not cheap and is a different car performance wise the TT Your In here.The RS TT is even better. TTs mk2 on a stage one tune has the same performance as a mk2 TT RS 🏎💨😍
There’s a very small apostrophe in “TT’s”, meaning he is talking about TT’s. Or he would have said “why are Audi TTS’ so cheap”, all in the placement of the apostrophe my guy :)
Lovely car by the way🤙🏼
the truth is, right steering cars are cheaper as left steering cars.
Almost half priced..
Just got one 20 fsi mint 46,000 miles
6,350! A lot of car for the money.
Audi tt fantastic car
Should get a job @Audi mate 😅
Meanwhile a used 2013-2015 Audi TT here is still £35k
Nice car but only about 130bhp at wheel on diesel version
168bhp
