Welcome to the MK2 club Dom 🎉and agree with the comments made, MK1 still has a place but the MK2 is the next step re TT ownership as do think they are easier to drive, easier to work on and a great drive 😃

Can’t wait to rack some miles up in it mate 😎

[@TaylorTomlinson-bg1ih]

I was literally thinking about making a video of my 3.2, i have a black 08 hardtop, there is hardly anything out there on the mk2 3.2, i love this!

[@TheParrottBros]

Awesome mate! I would have preferred a coupe but at the price I was never gonna say no 😂

[@josephdonnelly3169]

This car looks great for the price, and I too have been pondering added the mk 2 to the collection. Looking forward to the new content..

[@TheParrottBros]

Thank you, I’ve been keeping an eye on them for a while as prices are very similar between some mk1 & mk2 models. I’m looking forward to putting some miles into it and seeing what it’s like

Saw that baseball interior and was like, ah I see haha Lovely mate, glad you trying out the MK2, time to move on mate :P

[@mk1chopper]

Got a mk2 3.2 roadster back in May while my Mk1 was off the road. There a very nice drive and vr sound is addictive not as much feedback in steering as the Mk1 but still drives nice. Was also caught out on the tax as I'd looked a 3.2 dsg coupes which are the same to tax as the Mk1 and assumed the roadster was the same. The auto lights, wipers, folding mirrors is a rare option on these, in fact a lot of what you would think should be standard were options on the MK2. Mk2 section on the TT Forum has loads of information and active users always there to help out with questions.

[@TheParrottBros]

Mate! I love it! Colour combo is spot on and a bargain price to boot!

[@TheParrottBros]

Thanks mate 😎

[@badgerdomUK]

£3200! A total steal! I've had a couple of Mk1's including the 3.2 with DSG. We've also got a Mk2 2.0 TFSI now on 147k. I love the comfort of the Mk2, but still love the interior of the Mk1 more... potentially now looking for a new (to me) TT, so this video has come along at the right time.

[@CraigyGInDaHut1993]

Looking good. I just need a MK2 to complete my collection. I have owned a MK1 for a year and a MK3 for 3 and a half years. Working out what engine I want in the MK2 though. I have the BAM in the MK1 and 2.0 TFSI in MK3. Also do I want it to be manual or Auto. My MK3 is Auto

[@TheParrottBros]

the beauty of the mark 2 is there is quite a varied selection of different engines and transmissions

[@karldavies3149]

I am only really interested in mk1 content but can't deny that this is a nice motor. I can see why you went for it. I wonder if there are any images of the damage on Car Vertical. Might even be worth looking to see if you can get them to sponsor one of your next videos. Hope you have a good time with the new motor.

[@TheParrottBros]

Good point! I’ll have to give it a look thanks mate

[@davewestrup2420]

Nice one Dom, be interesting to see the content on this Dom, wouldn’t want one myself, but then again, with 2 MK1’s and a MK3 TTS, I really can’t justify a MK2 as well… 😂 What would be interesting is to know what the differences actually are between a MK1 and MK2 (apart from the obvious bodywork) and what bits (If any) are interchangeable. Cheers

[@TheParrottBros]

That mk1 vs mk2 is to be filmed soon 😊. See you skipped a step and went straight for the mk3. I can’t fault you there. I was looking at both mk2 rs and mk3 tts as similar pricing but 2 very different cars

[@davewestrup2420]

@ Thats great, looking forward to that Video Dom. And yes, went for the MK3 😊

[@ludwigsandstrom2560]

Had a go in a friends 3.2 mk2, definitely more of a “normal” and useable car but for me as a weekend/summer toy the mk1 definitely takes the cake 😁

Ooo really. I’m late to the game really as most I know have already tried at least 2 mk’s already. Excited to see how it goes

[@sK3LeTvM1]

OOOh yes. I've owned 2x TT MK1 Roadsters. When the MK2 was new, I did hate it's design. But now, I own a MK2 Roadster since 6 months. Strangely enough, it is the perfect blend between the MK1 and the MK3!! I drove 5 times 2000 km to Spain in the MK1, as well as the first time with MK2 recently. Quite a difference.... I had to replace the flap motors and the cabriolet top computer. Luckily have the first edition 2.0 FSI and not the problematic, oil-hungry TFSI engine!!! Watch out... I can't get used to the RH drive versions though... ;-) German cars ar LHD, British RHD. ;-))

My MK1 is in the higher tax category, I didn't do my research when I bought it. 🤦‍♂️Must be one of a very few Mk1s falling in that tax hike bracket. Good vid, they do say the variety is the spice of life!

[@TheParrottBros]

Ooo no! Is yours a 2006? When I was speaking to Chris with the king fisher TT with the plate 32TT his was one of the last off the production line which put him into the hike also. He only taxes it for 6 months a year as doesn’t get used much during the winter. Can’t blame him specially when my insurance is half the price of the tax 😂

Thats actually not bad ... color is nice

Can’t fault you, I was very much of the same opinion but they have grown on me quite some! Will always have a mk1 as of course they are the icon that started the following

[@TheChappers]

@ you are definitely more open minded than me! Perhaps I will soften up over time. The mk1 are very “un” Audi with such smooth lines which were whipped away in later versions.

great looking car and love the interior, but you have depressed me . Was thinking of getting a 3.2 roadster next, but you have put a spanner in the works lol. Like you didn't, I don't never think of checking road tax when i get a car as in my head road tax is the same for all cars(I am alot older than you) and all my cars are 90's. So hearing £70+ p/m as killed my dream of turbo'ing a 3.2 😥😥

[@TheParrottBros]

That’s the issue isn’t it, trade off of money / time. Work loads to pay for a car you want but can’t enjoy. Have time off to enjoy car but can’t afford expensive one. The mk1 is and always will be and icon the longer you own it the better it will get.

[@joeyschmidt7546]

@@TheParrottBros yes my mk1 the interior is all genuine real leather and genuine high quality materials and i love that about the mk1 225 stage 1. I know most of the modern cars are fake cheap materials they are doing that to everything making it as expensive as possible while making it as cheaply as possible. those two things dont mix, if im paying top dollar i expect high quality materials. Im thinking im ending up with either golf R mk7.5 used go for about 25-30k usd and mk3 tts is about the same price range here in usa. they seem to be a lot more plentiful and cheaper on your side of the pond.
