Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Good value, although you could save a packet a buy the likes of the new MX5 if you don't intend to drive the hell out of it all the time.
Costs
Cheap to fuel, but not cheap full stop. Cheaper than comparable cars with this performance.
-
On the road
Driving
Great fun, I use mine everyday, and although heavy to park in tight spaces, the feeling of skimming over the road can not be beaten.
Performance
Excellent performance, although on less than perfect roads find yourself slowing down over the bumps as suspension can be noisy.

Living with it
Reliability
So far so good. Previous Audi TT was nothing to write home about so- what will be will be!
Image
Everybody loves it. A sports car without the flash value, but still stunning to look at.
Comfort
More comfortable than you would imagine, I use mine everyday. Only getting in and out causes discomfort.
-
Security and Service
Security
OK so far, got alarm and immobiliser, would prefer stickers to state so though.
Service
Not service yet, but help from Bell and Colvill great. Like being part of a club, just friendly and reliable.
