NewNiceMrMe Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 I'm looking at an R, MK3 TT, S3, Leon Cupra 290, M135i & M235i. I think I'd be happy with any of those - bar one. For the life of me I cannot see how the TT is in that company of cars. I know there'll be people who say sporty, handling, looks etc - and it is in the looks stakes that I just cannot see any attraction whatsoever. I think it is one of the blandest, boring, most unevolved and anonymous designs I have ever seen. Buy an S3, or the Cupra 290 (but not the horrid lairy coloured versions!), the M135/235i, even the "why would I buy a Golf R when the M135/235 is so much better value for money" = but plllllllleeeeeaaaaaasssseeeee don't join the world of blandness by buying a TT.

Tipex Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 I don't know how they have the cheek to call the current TT a TT, it's just a 2 door A4 with any of the interesting design bits taken off, utterly boring car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riz Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Golf R all the way (kidding) although if you want a higher quality interior at the expense of having slightly less feedback then the Audi S3. The S3 saloon looks nice with 19" alloys. Audi are bringing out a RS3 Saloon which I wouldn't have minded but it's a cool £10k approx more than the R. If you want ultimate driver involvement then got to get the BMW. I would miss the TT out completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riz Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) What about the ballistic A45 AMG or Focus RS? Edited April 3, 2016 by Riz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Would it be sexist or wrong to say that the the new Audi TT is now firmly a girls car? That's how I see them anyway. Girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipex Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 I think the TT has always been a girls car, I don't know (personally) a single TT owner that isn't female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) On a side note, I was passed the other day by the new Civic Type R. Not a subtle car at all:-) Edited April 3, 2016 by Cuprabob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 I know two people who used to own TT's who definitely aren't female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldavo69 Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 You can get a TT diesel. Because women (of a certain age) want a "sports" car but they also need to keep an eye on how far their pension goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashleywater Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Even Dick Turpin would be embarrassed by what VW charges for leather / leatherette. To make matters worse the cloth seats on the R are horrible. Totally naff stuff that standard R seat covering, reminds me of those Polyester glow in the dark sheets that you used to get in any B&B the length and breath of the country back in the day I guess they made it look so bad so that it encourages the spending of vast sums of money being spent on correcting it with some real cow skin What is VW leather made from? How the feck do they justify the price? Why doesnt a car like an R come with Leather as standard like the S3 does, I get the GTI scotty dog thing even though I think it looks out of place these days, I mean when did you last see a tartan rug adorning the rear parcel shelf of a car?

Tipex Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 What is VW leather made from? I'm pretty sure I know what it's not made from, cows. VW leather feels awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Don't Toyota do the same? Pretty sure they do. The only 'real' leather from their brand comes in Lexus cars? Ford definitely do it - because I've just specced a car online to see and they actually tell you that the leather isn't, umm, leather.

Tipex Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Yes a couple of our Prius have 'leather' and it's definitely never been anywhere near a cow. Very shiny, slippery and plastic feeling, not nice. As you say, the Lexus (lexi?) we have on the other hand have much nicer leather, and they are only the is200d/hybrid version (forget exactly what the model is called these days). Not sure about Ford, my Galaxy definitely has real leather, perhaps they've dropped it on new models? What about the Vignale? That surely must have real leather? If not, then Edited April 4, 2016 by Tipex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Interesting. Apparently it is 'leather faced'. So the base and back area are covered in a material that them has a very thin leather applied. The sides, headrests, behind lower leg etc, are all vinyl. The full leather seems to come on Titanium X models across the Ford range. Mind you, Mercedes have hacked a lot of people off in the past by pulling the leather-faced and faux-leather trick.

Tipex Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) That would explain it then, mine is a Titanium X. I forgot about Mercedes, their fake leather is probably the worst of the lot. Edited April 4, 2016 by Tipex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
