Default Problem.....

I currently own a 99.5 A41.8tqs and I am torn between the S4 and the new 225 TT coming out.
The prices are pretty close but I am swaying more towards the TT. I think with just a simple chip mod, the TT will have more h.p. than a stock S4 and will out handle the S4 by leaps and bounds. Anyone else feel the same? I'm 6'-1" and am worried about interior room. I guess I need to go down the the local dealer and at least sit in one...

Default Space, choices (long)

Nick,

I was # 2 on the S4 list in Chicago. I got upset at all the delays regarding it (even though my car was at the port) and jumped ship to a TTQ (180 hp) and do not regret it in the least (and saved $$ in the process). I know the S4 will be faster and an awsome car but the TT's styling and the overall package won me over. The TT is a pure sportscar and not a beefed up sedan. It certainly is fast enough for me(for now until I chip it) and it hndles much better than the S4 will (IMHO). I am actually glad I did not get the S4. I think the 225 TTQ will be even greater.

With regards to the height, I'm 5'11 and there is PLENTY of room at the top. I was amazed at how much space there is. If you do not need the back seats then get the TTQ in 180 or 225 form. If you neet to be stealthy and have 4 doors and such then get the S4. They are great cars and you cannot go wrong with either.

Let me know if you have any questions

I love my TT

Juan

Default Headroom?

I'm also 6'1", and not expecting a problem in the TT. The only compromise is the 4-passenger capacity of an A4. The front seats of a TT have plenty of headroom--once you're in the car.
