Default Can't believe the TT is derived from the A3 (more)

I currently have an A3 Sport loan car while mine is in having the windscreen fixed along with a few other bits and pieces, and I now really appreciate the TT. It feels like you're driving a jelly, and the driving position is awfull. The pedals are too close with respect to the steering wheel and the seats are rock hard. The S3 MUST be better than this! For a hatch there is also precious little rear leg room (not much better than a TT coupe). It's just typical that my roadster is in dock during one of the hottest weeks of the year so far.

Had to share this little outburst )

Cheers,
Paul.

Default Agreed. I have both A3 and TT and driving position in A3 is not as good (too high)

handling of A3 is good but has no taste<p>Franck

The TT shares the same bottomplate as the czeh car SKODA OCTAVIA ......
This is an lowbudget car ($10 000), how about that !

Other cars that share the sam bottomplate as the TT is : Audi A3, Golf

The term "platform" shouldn't be taken too literally, it just means "sharing parts and principles".

My real point was they come from the same manufacturer.....but it doesn't seem like it!
