Audi TT mk2 honest review. Better than the Golf GTI?

- Is this Audi TT really a better car than the VW Golf GTI or an Audi A3?
This second-gen Audi TT (8J) has a 2.0 TFSI (EA113) engine, that produces 211 PS (208 bhp) and 280 Nm of torque. It shares the engine, gearbox, and many other parts with its siblings: Audi A3 2.0T, VW Golf GTI mk5, Seat Leon FR, and Škoda Octavia vRS.
Like A3, Golf, Leon, and Octavia, the Audi TT mk2 is based on the same PQ35 (A5) platform. That is why these cars are usually compared to each other. Practical people would say that there is no sense to spend more for a TT over GTI or A3 2.0T, but some of us are willing to pay a bigger price because of the beautiful design of this car.
The Audi TT is a very sporty and elegant 2-door coupe with a high-quality interior, but is it really worth the premium over the Golf GTI and other VAG siblings? Watch this review to find out!
Worth mentioning, that this particular 2009 Audi TT has less than 95 000 KM on the dash, is owned by one owner, and is up for sale: autoplius.lt/skelbimai/audi-t...

I have one and I love it. I will NEVER sell it as it puts a smile on my face every time I drive. Thanks for such a great, honest review. 👍
Thank you for your feedback. That means a lot to me.
Žiūrisi lengvai ir įdomiai. Tobulėjate!
Great review and great humour too hahha enjoyed watching this
Thanks!
Great review
Picking up one of these in a month, my first car. Insanely excited. Was between this and a scirocco, but for me the TT just outclasses it.
I like how both of these cars look. Have fun with your TT!
how’s your tt, i’m looking at getting one but unsure about the maintenance costs
Great review! I've been driving a 2008 model tuned up to stage 1 for 3 years and it's awesome, definitely a car designed for A and B roads.
Thank you for your feedback! Is your car reliable after the tune?
@@CertifiedCarLover absolutely, Stage 1 is very safe. Just needs doing to a serviced car and have the cam follower replaced for good measure.
@JWL How much horsepower and torque does your car make after the tune?
@@CertifiedCarLover 250Hp and 330Nm
@JWL very healthy numbers. Basically, you get the performance of a mk7 golf gti. Nice.
Its funny when he says its for novice drivers as im sure the power of them would intimidate most novice drivers at first.
I think that after a few weeks, even novice drivers would get used to 200 hp.
@@CertifiedCarLover for sure, but I wouldn’t say a TT is a novice platform - fiat500, mini one, up, older fiestas.. there’s a lot of novice cars out there, but a TT is a little more than that in fairness
@@OffHeading well, TT is basically a golf/a3 underneath the skin. I think that this 200 hp is great for a new driver, but buying more powerful versions like TTs or even TTrs is a bit risky.
The whole "thats too much power for a novice driver" is bull in my opinion.
Lol I have this car for my first car it's fine tbh once you get used to how it corners
Nice video!
Thanks!
The 1,8 TFSI 118 KW pulls better than the 147 KW - 2. Litre one because it has less Turbo lag as it's a newer engine. The 2 Litre 155 KW and 169 KW are a different story.
Great video mate! I have a 2007 Audi TT and I have 19s on mine and it looks very good. 16s just dont fit the car well at all had 16s for my winter setup. Very floaty ride and couldnt put the power down.
I would love to see this car on R18! But 16's for winter roads with snow is the way to go.
@@CertifiedCarLover check out my latest video I think it will change your mind🧐
@@nagarage13 your car looks great. I would keep R18/19 for summer, but I think that R16/17 is better for snow🤠
@@CertifiedCarLover i do have 16 for the winter but im going at least 17 for winter the ride is too "floaty" otherwise.
@N/A Garage I think you're are doing right by keeping your big rims for summer and putting smaller rims for winter. It's just better for driving in snowy conditions. Maybe you're right about R16 being too small even for winter.
18" + spring -25 mm and stage 2 It Is Amazing
-25 may be a bit too much for my taste, but -15 would be perfect, in my opinion.
I have this exact setup with Bilstein shocks and H&R springs (plus Stage 1). The car is a beast on backroads!
Spoiler with this design is actually crucial. It was first added to the mk 1 on re call after any high speed collisions. With that in mind, I’m sure designers would definitely not go without one for the mk2
Fantastic car ❤
It is, thanks!
Would you recommend it over a Mazda MX-5 NC?
I think that TT and MX-5 are very different from each other. Audi TT has a lot of electronics, you sit in a quite expensive-feeling interior, while a Mazda MX-5 is more about having fun while driving in a bit raw-looking, very noisy cabin. I believe MX-5 is more of a driver's car than a TT, but the TT is more like a coupe for everyday. That's why for everyday use I would go with a TT, but if you have a second car or you live somewhere, where all roads are perfect and the weather is fantastic, get a MX-5. MX-5 has a low center of gravity, so it should drive better than TT.
Mx5 cheaper to run and more reliable. I have both and I think your summary is spot on. I use the TT everyday and the mx5 for fun. Great video
@@jjkingkongjjracingstar8410 thanks!
@@jjkingkongjjracingstar8410could you give more info regarding comparison of both cars mate pls? I’m at the end of turn where I have to choose either 2.0tfsi tt or NC mx5. Problem is mk3.5 mx5 is more expensive than most TT’s
This is the 4cy that is good on gas ⛽️ mine is the 3.2 vr6 250 eats gas lol 😂 but it sounds so good wishing for the 5cy 400 hp Version this is one of my favorite car 🚙 ever made the gti is fun but this car going around curves is really phenomenal to bad this car is no longer made 😢
TT with a 3.2 vr6 is basically a mk5 golf r32. Cool car with an amazing engine! You can put turbo on it.
5 cylinder AUDI engine is a true piece of art. They sound amazing and are quite reliable. One of my favorite engines.
So interesting that this is seen as a woman's car in Europe but not so much in the U.S. All the better for me as it decreases the value making it more affordable for men and women in the U.S. I see this as a modern Karmann Ghia. I'm currently looking to buy a 1st generation with awd, manual, and 225 hp, which makes this a true sports car in my book but at a very reasonable price. These are only going to go up in value. ☺☺☺
Is the TT heavier than the GTI?
They weight almost the same. Depends on the gearbox (manual/DSG) and included options.
great review
ok for taller guys? and any blind spot over the shoulder due to that piller?
I'm thinking of getting amk2 TTRS - the tt is starting to be a car guys car - the mk2 especially
This car is perfectly fine for taller people. I am 182 cm, and I felt like there's enough space for me. The cameraman is 190 cm, and he was also fine!
There is a bit of a blindspot because of the rear piller, but nothing major. The rear window is quite huge, so you can see all the cars behind.
i call bs on load space you can fit a 50 inch tv in the back!!
Good to know!
It’s ALUMINIUM not ALUMINUM 😂 nice review though… nice car too 🫶🏻
Thanks! Aluminum is used by the English speakers of North America, and aluminium is used everywhere else.
The spoiler was added due to a loss of downforce above 105kph which can lead to a loss of control under acceleration.
Caused some fatal accidents in earlier models, the spoiler fixed this
You're speaking about the first-generation audi tt. This generation didn't have these problems and had spoiler from the beginning of the production.
It's hilarious how he went from I don't like Audi's and the TT is just an A3/GTI designed for women to I think I want to buy one.😁 He started out trying to not admit he liked the looks, then when he sat inside you could already see him changing his mind. After driving it, he was no longer thinking of it as a A3/GTI or just a woman's car. 🤣
Well, I still think that it is A3/GTI in a different body, but it doesn't mean that it is bad. I just think that if you don't really care about the coupe body style, you should go with A3/GTI and save some money. But if someone is in love with TT's styling and wants something that looks a bit more special - TT is a good option for them.
@@CertifiedCarLover , I think it's more of a price thing. If an A3, GTI and TT were all the same price , most would probably pick TT. A lot of brands use the same parts/engines/chassis, but as we know things can be done to give each it's own character. I respect your opinion, just giving my 2 cents.
SAME COLOR WITH MY TT MK2😂
Yeah bro lx7x colour code. Trying to find a replacement front bumper and I can't anywhere lol
*Promo sm* 🙋
Litovcai…
Golf GTI doesn't look like Audi TT... no more to say
It doesn't look like one, but the platform is identical
