What's it like to drive?

Its interesting to drive to say the least, i own a 2007 Audi TT so compairing the 2 is impossible, they have 4 wheels and tyres, thats where it stops... Its not a good driver for long motorway journeys, but lets be honest, why would you buy a little agricultural car for long trips?
