Audi TT / Rover 620ti - V Cool or V Uncool ? by AstraVanMan
That, plus it's one of the best looking saloons ever designed.. like most cars the wrong colour or ****ty wheels can bring it down but I've had several people say to me it looks like a BMW (not necessarily a comparison that I particularly like ;) Myself, I think they are better looking than any 4-door BMW. BMWs are a bit fat around the sides and not as well proportioned and sleek as...

Audi TT / Rover 620ti - V Cool or V Uncool ? by Pete M
Bob Sherunckle waffled on in a quite bewildering manner to produce... Don't want to upset the regulars, but why is it that the Audi TT uncool and the Rover 620ti is cool. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say they're competitors, thet're not. One costs 4 grand tops, the other costs 21 grand min. End of story. I know the TT is effectively a Golf / leon / octavia in drag. Is...

ANOTHER new car for me to try out by AstraVanMan
I travelled more than that just to look at a car and not buy it. Heck, I travelled about 400 miles to buy a Fiesta van (via Easyjet). Call me mad? You will one day. I'll see your 400 and raise you 400... a shade under 800 miles round trip, dragging a car trailer (1), only to be greeted by a very carefully photographed and misdescribed RS1600i, patches welded on patches,...

Small Q Car by Barry Cade
Hi all I've been running a 200Vi 3 door for a couple of years and would appreciate some advise on a replacement. OK its not the greatest handling car but its put the wind up a few who thought they were quick before now and it doesn't shout about it. I regularly get 38mpg even when I plant the foot and its big enough for the commuter run along A roads and to make the best of the overtaking...

Audi TT / Rover 620ti - V Cool or V Uncool ? by Bob Sherunckle
They're obviously driven by more than one of the regulars and are defended fiercely. Not overly, I don't care what anyone else's opinion of it is. Enough to bite though.......................;-)

Audi TT / Rover 620ti - V Cool or V Uncool ? by Mark Craft
I think the TT is "uncool" simply because its quite popular. Its also generally owned by people earning far more than the people that dislike it, kind of a reverse snobbery if you like. Me, I quite like them, but wouldn't own one.
