This was my service loan car that I had for the day when my S4 was in for its 2nd year service. A mk3 TT S-Line 2.0TFSI FWDI manual GB
So I thought, time for a quick review as this is the 1st mk3 TT I've driven
This particular car was a 17 plate with 65 miles on the clock. A brand new car then
Looked very smart in nano grey. Suited the standard fit 19" S-Line alloys too IMHO
The interior was a nice place to be. Nice fit and finish, but I am aware that this car was almost bran new. The 'basic' virtual cockpit was very nice
Couldn't believe a car of this value (£35k+) had only manual AC & not climate control tho'
No HHA in this particular car which I missed
Someone had left the heated front seats on full heat & nearly burnt my aspect until I figured how to switch 'em off lol
The main disappointment for me was the performance from the 230bhp 2.0 TFSI engine.
My wife's car, a 5 door MINI Cooper S, which has a 2.0 petrol turbo engine producing a claimed 192bhp
Yes, yes I know the TT had only done 65 miles, but the wife's MINI feels/felt way quicker than the TT even when the MINI had 65 miles on
I wondered at some point whether I could manage with a mk3 TT but after seeing the the rear seat space I now know its just a bit small for me/us
Don't get me wrong I loved the TT but was just a little disappointed over a few aspects of it
