So had my 19k mile service today, all was fine other than the alignment being out again. With the state of the roads here that's hardly a surprise, usually need it done every quarter!
Was wondering around the forecourt whilst waiting and was admiring the new TT and ended up having it for the day. Let me just say that I absolutely loved the thing!
The specific car was a 2.0 litre TDI ultra 6-speed manual with quite a lot of the options on it. Was very surprised at how quickly it could shift even after being given the heads up that it's very torquey! In dynamic the exhaust note was very nice and sounded great on the downshifts! Had a short motorway drive back to work where it really showed the torque in 5th and 6th! Overall setup of the car was very nice IMO, loved the overall feel of the ride and the turn in was very quick with dynamic steering selected. The steering felt much more connected than that in my S3 and the throttle response was great. Car was very comfortable in 'comfort' mode but steering was a little too loose in this mode for my liking.
Weather was horrendous here all day, heavy rain and fog most of the day which was a shame! This did give the opportunity to enjoy a few quite roundabouts though, where the car really showed its colours! Didn't think I would enjoy that car as much as I have to be honest, when I got back to the garage, he could tell I enjoyed the thing and I am getting a day in the 2.0 litre Quattro petrol as he couldn't stop talking about how much I would like that if I liked the diesel.
Will be looking forward to that day, maybe a TT S in the future..lol
