TT 225 for a 182 yes or no

[hotdog]

considering the above swap later this year, would you, or can you think of a better swap (looking to pay around 18K)

You could get one hell of an s3 for that money and make it faster

I have a 225 at the mo (hire car).

I went from a 182 to it...

It pulls well, but doesnt have the grin factor of the 182.
It feels better put together and feels more like a sports car.
It doesnt handle as well round corners/roundabouts as the 182
It costs more to fill the 225 up in petrol, but it does give a better mpg.

Would I buy one? nope, Id buy a 350z instead.

Hope that helps?

I was considering the 350Z but the insurance was astronomical, and the 3.5l V6 aint half going to drink some juice.

Oh, and I dont like the gear change or the visibility.

As performance cars Im not keen on them, same for value for money and bauhouse (SP?) styling. There overpriced and expensive to get Audi to service (a mate had one and wa paying £500 ever year for a service).

However I so so love them they look stunning and Id forgive there every folly (so long as it was a 225 hard topped one). My only problem would be the choice between one and a V6 Mk2 as Im not sure which I love more.

Instead of an TT, Id wait for the new Astra VXR and give that a look

Much too common (where I live anyway). Not particularly good value for money either.

 

[fastwunz]

common as muck now - every man and his feckin dog has one - plus it appears that those who drive them think they are amazing (when they arent) save yourself some face and stick with the clio - more fun, more respect and it can certainly play with the TT boys - or get a porsche?

 

[Iain C]

only if your a bit camp

 

[Matt16v]

Alot of you are comparing the TT to hot hatchs.

Lets fact it, they are painfully beautiful. Something NO hothatch could really match.

Ive not driven one but went out in one. Think my tubby would ruin it in the speed stakes even when it was standard. BUT that German cabin was so nice.

Work of art inside and out. If you can make it faster (as Im very sure you can) it would be a lovely car.

Would I chose one over a 182? Every single time.
