New Beetle out, S3 or TT180FW in. THE VERDICT...

peterc · 01-01-2001, 10:47 AM

A few days agoo a posted a message asking for your opinions on choosing between S3 and TT180FW (coupe). Well, I turned out that it wasn't my (final) decission after all...

The company (chief) decided that the TT looks way cooler (than S3) and therefore would better fit the image of the company. I guess he is right about the image thing, but no Quattro and racing against Porsche Boxster for me...

Anyway, I am sure I will be very happy with the chiefs choice. The specs of my TT (due to arrive in the 3th or 4th week of January):
-TT coupe 180hp FW-drive
-Brilliant black
-Volcane leather
-17 inch 6 spoke alloy wheels (225/45 R17)
-Bose Concert sound system
-Onboard computer
-Heated seats, automatic climate control, ...

For those of you still reading, I have to questions:
-breaking in periode: what should I do and what not?
-armrest: I couldn't get a central armest from Audi, do any of you know I can get one from another manufacturer that will fit in a TT?

Happy Newyear,

I dont think it will fit a TT as there aint much room between the seats. I may be wrong but I tested a TT Roadster in the summer and it was a tight fit (and Im only small).

Peter if it snows then the front wheel drive will be so much better, trust me

Thanks for the info. So I am lucky, I am also rather small. Front wheel drive is actually cool to drive on snow, you can't do anything wrong (compared to rear wheel drive).

Anyway, were I live (Europe, Belgium) we maybe have 10 days of snow every year. It would have liked the S3 but hey, you have to admit the TT looks a lot scarrier when it pops up in your rear view mirror.

Have fun in the snow,

Peter -- Just moved to Brussels (from SF, CA) and my '01 S4 arrives tomorrow (from the states). I'm looking for other Audi entusists.
