Why do auto journalists keep saying the same thing over and over again?
Every new iteration of the TT, they say "it was all style but now it has performance to match."
I read that when the 225 came out, then the 3.2, then the new generation and now the TTS... all the same reviews. The best platform was probably the gen 1 225 quattro- the aftermarket brought out the capability of that engine and suspension.
How about this one:
It's a sporty car that is high on style. Not the innovative looker it was at introduction but typical Audi beauty. It is stylish but not the performer it could be.
Audi knows how to make a beautiful, aggressive sportscar. The R8 proves that.
When Audi brings a "TT-R" to market, then start comparing it to the Cayman or 911.
Right now, the TT is a sportscar in the vein of the A4 or S4. We are still waiting for the RS4 version...

And if you're too lazy to look it up, it has a 2.7L engine while the S gets a 3.4L flat-six.
Actually, I did, I'm just being facetious. That's why I used the terms interchangeably....
They didn't make a typo on the 3.0 (which is the part I highlighted for a reason), they just got it wrong. I simply want them to fix it!
I am considering an Audi TT roadster as an everyday car. Kids are grown up and I want something fun! I am 6' 8" tall and fit into the TT convertible at the dealer, but I am wondering whether any tall drivers have comments from extended experience. I am also considering a Mercedes SLK which I fit into, but again, don't have extended miles under my belt!
I would appreciate comments from TALL drivers as to the comfort on long drives, using daily, etc. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

08 and 09 new body stlye are longer and you can get your seat back pretty far. Audi and the german cars are most geneous in the headroom and legroom department.
A friend is very tall - 6'7 with a 40" inseam. She can wedge into the passenger seat in my TT, but it is impossible for her to get behind the wheel. Of course her proportion is mostly leg.
There are visibility issues in a TT and you should definitely try one for an extended period (at least an hour) and mix up the driving.
good luck
