Sure what about the previous TT RS, two tone, cage etc.... hardly womans!
any differences around twisties due to different shell?
Agreed the TT is a bit of a womans car but the TT-S is a bit different! Although I bet there are plenty driven by women who never drive them to their limit
Ahemm.....
You call this a womans car?

Its difficult to see where the TTS gets its performance figures from. A quick look on line gives the usual wildly varying specs from the various road tests with a wight that goes from 3070lb to 3375lb and a BHP from 265 to 271. The S3 seems to hit about the middle of these at 3208 lb and 265bhp. The max difference would be about 131.5 bhp per ton S3 and 135.1 bhp per ton TTS. Hardly enough t notice on the road. The obvious answer would be save your money and chip a std TT.
Often the manufacturer who is chasing performance figures will try and get to 60 mph in 1 gear change ie second...by playing about with ratio's they might save a .75 second gear change !! Thats why DSG's are often quicker than manual's.
Either way i cant see a TTS really bothering a S3.
PS.....I drove one and as Staz says, prepare to live like a sardine and dont expect to do long distances in comfort unless you are small !! I am 6ft4" and 18 stone and had trouble getting in the door
Thats like saying the obvious answer is to get a standard A3 2.0T and chip it, over getting an S3 Make no sense at all...
Er no mate, I think you misread my post!
Ok, fair enough...you try and explain why a TTS is quicker........or why we should not just buy a Boxster S
Hi Staz.
Sorry mate,no offence ment its just that sometimes I get sick of TT,s being referred to as girls or hairdressers cars.
Understandable mate. But unfortunately I see more women in them than men so for me that's where I get it from.
BUT as I said the TT-S is different. It's closer to a proper sports car and that makes it a man's car :icon_thumright:
Boxter is even tighter than a TT on Space but its just a cut above IMHO.
PS...sorry, i edited my post . I have to say your split grill looks good with the
S3 alloys ! I actually prefere the split grill in fact i had a race with a black 8L the other day with a black grill and i thought that looked even better Looks like i am going retro in my old age
You reckon I need a set of S3 wheels and black grill then... I have just finished getting the inside how i want so now i am looking at the outside...almost seem a shame to mess with it
the majority of people i see driving TT's where i live are 40+ [gay] men.
