Changing the zed this year.

[lux]

I'm changing the zed at the end of the year and I've narrowed it down to three choices.
This is the first (cheapest):
Audi TT 2.0 TFSI Quattro.


I'm liking this much more than I thought I would.

Interior: Typical Audi, very nice dash and seats, and the controls all feel quality (loads better than the zed).





Performance: the 2.0 TFSI has 227 bhp and hits 60 in 5.3 seconds so no slouch, and the noise it makes is very addictive!





The styling is more aggressive than the last one but still not as pretty as the E89.....but I'm liking this a lot!

To be continued.....

It is a very nice model now

Is that right 227bhp 0-60 in 5.3?

I think the new tt models are quite light ~1250kgs or thereabouts, but that's a seriously fast time for minimal power, is that with DSG box? How much torque is that engine producing?

[ranski]

love that dash! I do think BMW are being left behind by the likes of Audi and Mercedes with on-board tech, cabin layout & quality

[Bing]

Yep, that dash is a winner

[lux]

370/1600-4300 apparently! and 1335kg for the Quattro.

When you lock it you get a double heart beat noise from the car.....nice!!!

Hmmm, I dunno mate, I get to drive Gill's TT (OK not the latest model - but there's not a lot of difference apart from the display) and I still feel a lot happier in the zed. On the plus side, the TT is a much more practical car, you can carry loads of stuff in the back with those nonsensical rear seats dropped down.

And the other two contenders are..........?

Contender no.2 Monday afternoon, and contender no.3 Friday 17th

Really like the new TT.

There have been a few issues reported with the media package and another issue with sills gaps.

That blue is stunning. Is it Sepang?

I'm in a new 15 plate TTS this week while mine is being serviced.

The dash and the climate controls are a work of art!

Handling is way better than my mk2.. Better feel through the steering.

However as mine is mapped + modded this doesnt feel as urgent as my car.

Have to ask why not go for the TTs instead... Extended leather and magride as part of the better engine make it all seem better value.

Isn't it an extra £10k when fully spec'd?

I've picked three price ranges and the TTS would have gone into the middle bracket.
If i decide to go for a cheaper option the 2.0 TFSI fits the bill.

I sense Cayman/ Boxter will be arriving in this thread shortly ... Have fun

I'm sure that, whatever car Lux goes for, it'll end up having splash proof, wipe-clean upholstery to make the post-dogging cleanup easier

Veyr nice looking interior.
