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...

Neither are cool -- the Audi is just nasty kitsch, totally ersatz a bit

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...

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.......................;-)

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.
