let’s talk a bit about common problems, should we : 1) water in the boot. in both convertible and coupes, drain are blocking easy and you end up with plenty of water in the boot.. 2) boss system is lovely , but the amplifier goes wring easy and the replacement cost around £400-£500 fitting EXcluded. 3) mobiliser unit can go wrong too. as a result you may end up with your boot opening every time you closing your passenger door or other gremlin like issues (common problem in plenty vw skoda etc) 4) if you go for the vr6 you will absolutely fall in love with the sound and the kick , but you will have to pay around £1500 every 100k for a chain replacement. 5) go for the quatro no questions asked. 6) it comes with magnetic suspension, haven’t drive it but i know it had a very expensive repair cost when will need replacement/fix (£4k-£5k) 7) in good news it looks much more expensive than what it sells in UK. 8) it feels much more expensive than what it sells in UK 9) snow is not so scary with the quattro 10) something v yes very important that a lot of people forgetting about this generation is that half of the frame is aluminium, which means much much much much harder to have rust issues. Also it helps have 50/50 weight distribution but yeah who cares about that 😂..

Faults were…… rear lights had bad earths. ..Power steering rack replaced. .. Both front springs and mounts ..wiper motor broke...car doors let water in...window trim on small rear windows came away...rear parcel shelf mounts broke.....it drank oil until I got updated breather fitted which made a huge difference in consumption...turbo diverter valve replaced with new version improved turbo lag...coolant thermostat at 70k.. wiper motor, rear parcel shelf supports kept breaking.

I was a Honda guy for 15 yrs. First was a beautiful late model 2.2vtec Prelude followed by two FN2 Type Rs. However, switching to a 2011 Daytona Grey 2ltr TFSI Mk2 TT made me wish I'd bought one earlier than 2020. The build quality and acceleration are far superior than the Type Rs. It's typical German engineering at its best. Matt hits the nail on the head stating the Mk2 hasn't aged. It's understated and easy in the eye. If I had one complaint, the front seats sagg somewhat. Mines only done 50k and I'm a second owner, yet it does let the overall experience down somewhat. I've read on TT forums this is a common issue hence was surprised Matt didn't mention it on his high mileage example. All said I'd highly recommend one and Matts review, as ever, is precise, interesting and engaging.

Had a mk2. Fantastic design, and the looks were the standout but it was quite unreliable and whatever could go wrong did. And this had low miles and full Audi service history.

[@kencur9690]

Well there are many things to consider before buying a TT. For starters, have you finished high-school? Do you have a decent job? Have you invested enough in your future? Is this all your savings? If so, have you considered the return on investment, mainly in terms of utility, and the roi in alternative ventures? Have you considered depreciation? Do you have money to maintain it? Have you seen alternate ways to invest your money which will bring more money before spending it on toys? Those are but a few considerations. And you should always check under the hood and look at the engine, of course.

[@pemtax557]

Very thorough, you covered all of the items one would ponder in a car like the TT.

Thanks!

Really nice review, I've owned and driven many, many car's over the years, as I did work in the motor trade for a while, so I know a good car when I drive it, so I tend to be pretty particular about my own car. I've owned 2 TT's firstly a MK1 225 Quattro, which I think had been remapped at some point previously, because it was stupidly fast, sadly it died on an Italian Autostrada, in torrential rain, not me driving badly I hasten to add... So then 3 years ago, I went to buy a 1 Series BMW M-spec Diesel, and was totally unimpressed asked the sales man what else he had, I might be interested in, and test drove my current car a 2009 TT Mk2 Tdi Quattro, and as a then 10 year old car had only 67,000, I probably paid a little over the odds tbh, but I absolutely love this car, it is so well put together and feels so planted on the road, it's comfortable on long trips, goes round corners really well, I find 3rd gear the best for quick overtakes, the midrange grunt from that 260 ft lb 2.0 common rail engine is just sublime, and the car is a lot quicker than people might give it credit for, and if you don't hoon it about too much does about 45-50mpg, the road tax is (in 2022) £165 compared to my Mk1 which was £300+ pa, and ranging about 28mpg 😕 My only complaints are the bonnet pull handle breaks too easily, and the known issue with the rear light earth, when the rear lights stop working, which is easily fixable, and took me about an hour to do with some extra wires grounded to the chassis in the boot either side, no other issues, it gets a service once a year with the MOT, and has been totally reliable, I'd agree about the heated seats as my mk1 had them and this mk2 doesn't, and I miss that feature. Yes I've also had the usual 'hairdresser car' jibes, but the last person to say that drove a baby sized SUV, so that tells you something, also it must elicit jealously for some reason, as I've had it keyed obviously by a total 🔔🔚 Overall I would definitely recommend anyone to try a MK2 Tdi Quattro, if you're after comfort, individuality in a sea of SUV sameness, as well as some decent economy, it is an utterly brilliant all-rounder, I'm going to be keeping mine for the foreseeable future. 👍 👍👍

Only thing I would mention is that it is so important on these cars to get all the optional extras that came on the car as retro fitting will cost a fortune. Look for cars with the top spec factory stereo, the 19 inch wheels ( you will want them) heated seats, rear sensors ( these don’t come with rear view cameras from the factory) take your time look and don’t be there are plenty of them about. Some with poor spec that I would avoid

[@andyhawkins9541]

I own a 2007 3.2 manual on private plates and body even now is still mint , only upgrades I have done is lowered springs on my 18 inch alloys looks awesome in my opinion and upgraded stereo system to pioneer and upgraded speakers all round blinding sound , only downside is road tax which is top tier unfortunately but for me very well worth it and still love the look ❤😊

[@JamesLee-dr3nq]

my TT mk2 still like the new car, only the Audi design issues, plastic water pipes . but not to hard to change.

[@louisjames1062]

Mk1 is the favourite for me. I liked the one off dashboard and it’s out there of the time wow factor. The bam engine is fantastic. Great timeless cars

[@HighPeakAutos]

I like them all to be honest

[@louisjames1062]

@@HighPeakAutos same here. With exception to the new shape. Just looks confused

[@JIMMYHIBBS1]

I had a stunning MK1 back in 2002, and my brother later had the MK2, and I always thought the MK2 was a bit bland in comparison - my MK1.5 225 was quite aggressive in my mind.

[@EtonieE25]

👍 A classic just waiting to happen

[@cockshield]

The MK1 still looks like something from the future.

[@huwd2292]

Straight on Cargurus. Damn you! Love the fact you like these, I think they are fab. Had a mk3 TTS until recently but for me the sweet spot for value and performance is a 2.0 FSi mk2, even in this crazy used market.

[@jc4778]

Owned a Mk2 TDI for a while and regret changing it. I would 100% go for a Quattro. It’s not a permanent 4 wheel drive system like most other Audi’s but did give the car lots of grip. As a 6ft 4 18 stone male I had to put up with the hairdressers comments but it’s really much better than that. Also surprisingly roomy for a small car. Progressed to a S5 coupe which is just as good looking as the TT. All cars have problems but there is a quality feel to Audi’s.

[@tz6414]

Great styling the TT, preferred the mk1 styling though. The interior was one of the best, loved the chunky round features and gearstick style. Nice having space in the back to put coats and bags etc.

[@PaulTC97]

I saw a FWD Audi TT mk2, with the 160hp engine, Audi R8 V8 replica wheels and a side blade from Aliexpress. It look cool even though it was a wannabe R8.

[@c-m-s6738]

I’ve got a stock MK2 TTS. Planning to put an RamAir induction kit and stage one it soon. That’s all that’s needed imho. Great cars!

[@Asdosie]

Owned a mk2 and really liked it actually, Honestly a lovely little car & felt super quick! Only sold it to upgrade to a porsche 987.2 cayman

[@linicarreviews7524]

Nice! I just sold my mk2 TT for a 986 Boxster S and I’m loving every second of it so far!

[@nervo6321]

I love the red leather...especially with the silver.

[@tinniswood2577]

having owned 3 mk1 TT's I always found the mk2 looked a bit bloated. The mk3 seems to have got back in trim.

[@Beefy-Tech]

I just got one for my girlfriend for 6.9k euro, and slapped 2.5k of stuff on it and the car is literally brand new and looks like a modern sporty car, for sub 10k euro it is absolutely insane value.

[@njk86100]

The leather jacket metaphor is spot on haha! Great car, great review!

[@jeffey828]

Getting mine next week and can’t wait! My Jetta’s been retired at 58,000 miles lol didn’t feel right not being in a coupe. Nice video bro.

[@richarddyasonihc]

A ‘junior executive estate’? Remember when I first saw one of these in 1999 - you were right about about the shape,.mind you, there’s a bit of Volkwagen history with Audi. My next door neighbour’s boy friend bought one like the one in this.video. I found I thought it rather smart, and more of a real real.car than I previously thought. Another neighbour, who is a good pal of mine was a little dismissive, calling it a ‘handbag car’. They are not!

[@lash9400]

TT has always been a favourite of mine. Was really close to buying a mk2 back in 2008 but now on my second mk3. I’m interested to see what Audi do with the next version. Great review as always 👍🏾

[@yousufzahid6949]

Unfortunately Audi won't make a mk4, at least in traditional form. People just aren't buying small sports cars anymore. There is a chance the TT will come back as a 4 door electric coupe-sedan, but at that point it isn't a TT anymore, is it.

[@MrRazz]

@@yousufzahid6949 they already announced mk3 is last TT they will make.

[@georgeanastasi7729]

Excellent vid. Great cars.- fun to drive and look pin sharp still. Watch out for leaking interiors which are common, either due to blocked drain under the electric spoiler or inadequate sealing around the tailgate hinges, and blocked drains in the doors. All rectifiable but can create problems with battery tray, amplifer, electric windows, and speakers. I;ve had to deal with this on mine and I'm not alone in facing this. None of the damage is expensive as breakers have all the parts you need. Also on the 2L the engine thermostat can run cold, which won't cause major issues but worth being aware of. Driver's airvents often broken due to people putting very heavy crappy clip on phone holders on them - again easy to DIY fix with parts from breakers. Finally rear lights can suffer an earthing fault. Plenty of videos online on how to fix that. None of this is a dealbreaker. And as stated in the vid, make sure cambelt done - if it isn't then do it.
