sister-in-law has popped up asked me if i would take her mam back home in her TT,i thought why not see how nippy it is after her saying it was `quick`,was looking forward to it as took my 3dr off the road last january
came back and she asked what i thought
`do they do a fast model then?` i replied
btw its the 1.8 225 model so i dont know what i was expecting
did drive nice though,must be all the 4x4 stuff slowing it down

I was exactly the same when i jumped into a TT, It was also a 225bhp quattro. I was expecting allot and it returned very little, it was no quicker than my lightly tuned ST170

Tho she is a bit of a milf..
Was a let down as I had to wait till mither-in-law was dropped off before I tried an emergency start
Was expecting the same feeling I had after getting mine set up after doing stage 3 to it then having a first blatt
Tbh just made me want my car back on the road more

My mum had a TT, same thing 225 1.8t. Tbh it might not have the rush you get from a cossie, but I bet point to point it would stuff a 250bhp saph. It was certainly faster than a st170, i have had several of those. Good cars imho, not for me, but good.
Spend a little cash and they go well, handling also a weak point and needs addressing.
As a piece of design though I like them, nice cosseting cabin and quite well put together. Instrument binnacles mess around too.

me mate had a roadster one and thught it as rapid, phoned me up 1 day being a cock saying he wanted to race me in me old xe nova i bought as a run about. Anyay went out for a blast and he couldnt get anywhere near me on about 5 runs. Turned out he had just had it mapped that day aswell and still counldnt beat a b reg nova valver lol
Thing is, comparing the to stage 3 saffs and stuff is stupid(Im sure a 400bhp TT would be quite fast too). Comparing real world production cars they are fairly fast, especially point to point.
