hey guys need some reassurance here, i ordered my new black edition tdi last week and was very happy obviously. Since though ive told friends and family about my pending new car and alot of people are saying you,ve ordered a womans car there, ive got to be honest and say it has affected my excitement of my new car arrival with these comments. Have any of you guys experienced these same comments ? would love to hear what people have said to you ......

A lot of people are like sheep. Once upon a time someone made the comment that the TT is a hairdressers care but rather than form their own opinion people simply go with the herd and spout out the stereotype. I'm sure some people say it simply because they think that's what expected of them.

There jealous mate, a mate of mine called my 2007 3.2 ragtop a hairdressers car, until the day I took him out in it and scared the shit out of him!!!
He no longer calls it a hairdressers car, and he is even considering one for himself !!!!
Not only have I converted him to a tt but to a rag top as well !!!

Errrrr does it really matter what other people think?

Having just got my TT , I can honestly say I've never had that comment, yet. And I just don't care, I'd care more if my kids couldn't fit in and be comfy for short trips.

With the black edition, hard suspension, low profiles, Grey alloys.. the only person that you have to convince is yourself.

The main thing I've had said to me is 'it's not a four seater' . With a tall friend in the back seat they will feel the pain and the pleasure of having the car.

I've just bought mine and got all the 'hairdresser' comments too. Mostly from people who drive humdrum family cars and wish they could have a hairdresser's car too!

Personal taste is personal taste, and if you like your TT then that's all that matters. At the end of the day it's your money to buy your car, so buy what you want, not what the others think you should have!!!

Thanks guys for your comments they all make good sense, I feel better now but I had to get it off my chest and listen to what u lot had to say. The car I've ordered also has the amplified black package as well so will come in missano red with black wing mirrors and also a fixed black rear spoiler so as my wife has said it won't look godly. I'll post pics of the car when I receive it, thanks again everyone who replied

Well I drive a yellow TT roadster so if the TT is a woman's car I must be a right fanny :lol:

Don't let anybody get to you I got the same shit when I went from a A4 Cabriolet to a TT. People were calling me a hairdresser I just laughed but the TT is one of the best cars I have had so far. I never get sick of driving it was a toss up between a Porsche Boxster or TT. You won't be disappointed plus the support you get on this forum is brilliant.

I'm a male "Hair dresser" so love my car tbh. Suits me fine and looks good outside my "salon".

As long as you are in the the same line of employment.... won't be a problem. :mrgreen:

I jest (obviously)... . Don't worry about other folks opinions at all!
Got my (used) TTS a few weeks ago and...it is, without doubt / comparison, the best car I have owned.

Having just bought a Mk1 coupe this saturday in blue with black leather I am seriously pleased with the look of the car. It is the 180BHP model and pulls reasonable enough. :)
Laughably I took it to work today for a young lady there to say it's a 'hairdressers car'. Funny enough this is an occupation she does part time. When I asked her where her TT was then she went very red and shut up. :oops:
Green eyed monster was on the loose. :mrgreen:

Can u believe this, driving around south Yorkshire today I've seen 6 tt,s , everyone was a woman driver couldn't believe it, that's why I originally posted the question, everyone take notice now and see what ratio you get when counting tt drivers, still excited waiting for mine though I don't care what people might say

...and its also a "fellas" car too, discerning types included I'll have you know :wink: !! Lovely drive up north earlier today on the M1 and the RS showed repeated clean heels to all manner of makes and sizes of vehicles, even whilst their pilots were texting voraciously at 70mph ++ speeds.
