Practicality seems right in line there. I love my TT, but practicality is not it's strong suit,

except for snow. I love seeing the BMW's, Mercedes, Camaros, Corvettes, ect., stranded and looking pretty hapless.

It is a roadster. It ain't supposed to be practical. Just fun. ;-)

You should have seen the looks we got Saturday...

bought a wooden-framed mirror that measured about 3feet by 4 feet, stood it vertically behind the seats, slipped the bottom edge just in behind rear cupholder,slid over to passenger side so I could reach up behind my head and hold both sides... Yea I got some wind buffeting but we got the sucker home...you should have seen the looks we got ! Who says a roadster isn't practical? ;-)

Oh well, s/he didn't even know they weren't actually in a quattro ...

Unless they sell a 180Q version of the TTR in the UK (that we don't have over here), the "single tailpipe" meant that was a 180 front-wheel drive.

It goes without saying that any reviewer who doesn't know whether the car is front-wheel or quattro need not be trusted. (Though I as a proud TTR owner do agree it has little "practicality" in the sense of hauling stuff, people, luggage, building materials, etc around.)

They seem to have forgotten about the Porsche Carrera 4 cabrio ....

..when they were talking about available awd roadsters. Or perhaps they were limiting their discussion to VAG products... :-)

No Aliens in Non-Quattro?

I haven't bought one (yet), so I don't know. Is this true? If so, I might have to rethink my purchase...

Leech-like grip--YEP
Hood like a cowpat--??
Modest-sized boot for 2 people with romance on their minds--YES!! Isn't this the point?
