The Audi TT has become something of an icon since it was first launched back in 1998. The latest version of the third-generation goes up against competition that includes the Porsche 918 Cayman, Alpine A110, BMW 2 Series, Toyota GT 86, Mazda MX-5 and Ford Mustang. Ginny has been a TT fan for a while, and in this video she gets behind the wheel of the facelifted version to see if the car still has all the qualities that made it one of her favourites.

I have a TT Coupe 2017 and it's honestly a nice little coupe. Love the virtual cockpit and the air-vent design. Can't really complain. While I thought the 2015 update gave the car a much sharper look over the MK2, I think the 2019 update really wasn't necessary, especially those fake vents. Sure, it gives it a bit more of an aggressive look but that's about all really. I do like the honeycomb front grill though. I've got my eyes set on the 718 Cayman S as my next car.

Why on earth did Peugeot not release a mk. II RCZ? The TT is obviously popular (which is why the RCZ existed to begin with), and even though Peugeot said the RCZ was an attempt to chase a niche, I would have thought enough were sold to make a new model based on the mk. II 308. They didn't need to ever chase the top TT, just the two wheel drive ones. A bit daft, really. As for the TT, good car but certainly just an evolution. Perhaps that's all that's needed.

@nh1848 Жыл бұрын

Yup, I recently swapped in a 208 GTi for a TT. RCZ could have been something really special. But the reliability of that prince engine pre 2016 put me off the RCZ R. Considering it was about 35k new they should have focused more on the performance range of engines rather than putting a 150bhp petrol in it. It had a beautiful silhouette aswell like the TT, the only thing I would have changed externally would have been the front end, which looked very bulbous.

My wife had one of the first ever right hand drive TT's in the in the UK that we had ro wait some time for. When I told her Audi were stopping production she said I have to have one. She has not had a car of her own for 14 years. I am waiting delivery of the 2024 Q4 very shortly so we will be a not only a two car home but a two Audi home. You can guess the smile on the fase of the salesman from Audi two cars in a couple of weeks.

There is just one new wheel style in S-Line trim (see 20th anniversary edition) .. and don't expect to get those wheels you have on that orange car as they are pre production wheels and are not available to order!! The 40 tfsi ONLY comes in S-Tronic NOT manual! .. 3.45mins "it confuses me" I am not suprised seeing some of your facts are wrong!... "Red, Black or White as standard" WRONG AGAIN! ... white is the only colour that is standard.... Know about what you are testing as you're just giving everyone false information.

Sharp steering, lovely flat bottomed steering wheel? Packaged understeer for the masses and can't make a round steering wheel more like. Also, am I the only one who has noticed women tend to like the original TT but men prefer the later shapes? For me, great looking car but it's an MQB car at the end of the which can't compare to the BMW 2 series chassis. I've had a flat bottomed steering wheel for 5 years now and it still annoys me.

Wow personally I think the Mk3 facelift is no way near as pretty as the previous version. Too fussy, less classy and feels like changes are made for changes sake. Sorry Audi, love the TT but this was a slight step backwards for me. Normally I would say being a TT it will still sell like hot cakes. However considering everyone is buying SUVs these days I doubt that will be the case 😔
