CTC Review: 2009 Audi TTS Roadster

[kevlar]

yah, i don't think that d-bag/c-ck rule applies here in canada yet for audi.   most d-bags still drive bmws or porsches - at least in downtown toronto.     i wonder how many sales audi makes just because people don't want to look like a d-bag.   the coxster effect?  i have had so many friends say to me when i tell them i am looking at a 3 series, "you are going to look like a full time wanker, not just a part time wanker if you buy one of those"    ahhh friends!!!

[lebowski]

HA! I wonder if we have the same friends, Kevlar, as my buddies, too, take special pleasure in ribbing me to no end about driving a Bimmer, a.k.a. the Ultimate D-bag Conveyance. I try to defend my car by mentioning that a) I bought it used, so it wasn’t too expensive, and b) I’m a car enthusiast and really do appreciate the difference between it and, say, a vw golf. No dice. But I admit it is amusing, especially when the ribbing is unexpected, i.e. I’ll be telling a seemingly car-unrelated story, and I'll get ambushed:

Me: “yeah, so I was just leaving the grocery store when I realized I forgot to buy milk, so I had to head back”

Friend: “oh yeah? *grins* Did you take the BMW???”

Hey, it’s a small price to pay for enjoying our rides. Also, as an aside, ever since buying my car, i find that I've been driving with a greater degree of courtesy towards other motorists because I feel like I have to compensate for the stigma associated with driving a BMW. So be it!

The Boxster is much more practical than the TT, I had yet another box today that wouldn't fit but would have easily fit in the Boxster!

You're not trying hard enough, I managed to fit an entire home theatre surround system in the exige! 

[wing]

would this fit?



Yeah didn't think so

[Seafoam]

 I like the styling of this TT much better then the car it replaces. Not as much of a squashed beetle. Looks much more masculine. Sort of the same thing as  how they have changed the looks of the miata over the years.I like the LED lights on the front as well.

[Just Bob]

would this fit?



Yeah didn't think so

Easy!

[wing]

Well not in the TT!  I've seen an elise I don't think it would fit either.  The box is rather large.

[airbalancer]

take it out of the box

Just like a plasma, box is 17" wide, TV is 4" wide

  ALL PADDING.....just like tha AUDI...................

[Just Bob]

Yeah I had to take everything out of the box.

Well, I DO own a Boxster S and (of course) it is superior to the TT.  It does suck, however, to have the car mock me all winter while I drive my Audi A4 wagon into the seemingly endless Siberian-like winter.  IMHO, the TT was designed to be a year-round sports car.  If I had to combine both of my cars into one; I'd probably buy the TTS.  Not a bad compromise for someone who goes through an Alberta winter every year.

Well, I DO own a Boxster S

No pics, no care.....

the odd ball is the windshield washer fluid reservoir. Can you find it?

Is it that small blue cap on the drivers-side just below the a-pillar?
