I prefer my mates Rocco R to my 2.0TFSI. The power and sound is in a different league. The build quality is alot better than my TT.

Not sure how it compares to a TTS but its deffo better than a normal TT (excluding TTS/TTRS).

Features:

- Built in 30GB touch screen SATNAV with SDHC slot
- Media connection built in arm-rest (you dont even get an arm rest in a TT!)
- Finishes in shiny piano black
- Auto wipers as standard
- Tyre pressure sensors as standard
- DRL's and Auto-lights as standard

The sound it makes is just phenomenal!

If im really honest, I preferred my MK5 Golf GTI more too. Yes, the TT is better looking but the GTI was pure fun and smiles.

Mmmm i suppose whatever floats your boat, I don't like the Scirocco and as for auto wipers, tpm, auto lights what the heck just gadgets. I bought a Golf GT sport and sold it back to the dealers within 4 weeks worst car I had ever owned which had every bell and whistle added to it ......... cant repeat what i thought of it !

I think the TT is great

This may kind of be helpful but its only my opinion, Ive always seen the Scirocco as in the same 'league' as the A3. The TT however, is in a different league, its a proper low, sporty, coupe, not a Golf with a few different body panels. It's only my opinion though, but thought it may be worth a mention.

Someones been on the pop tonight - a golf! :?
This feels like one of those VW advert this - im going to have to get my eyes checked, sure hes just said the golf was more fun.

As for the spec - what you dont say is 30GB HDD is pointless, iphone has more storage and the AMI is a 000000000x better!!!
The nav is SHOCKING "keep on this road for some time" "keep on this road for a long time" is this 1982 again?
Piano black, the finish marks are looks nasty.. and you can have that as an option on the TT if you're daft enough.
Extras are standard to make it look like a better package!

You can say what you want but I still prefer my MK5 Golf GTI to my TT.

Some are saying the Audi's are in a different league to VW's........most of the underlying parts/engine are the same in both brands (likewise with all VAG cars)......the brakes are pads all come from VW cars just as an example.

The Rocco R is a better car than a non-TTS/RS TT IMO.

The A3 is a Golf with an Audi badge.

Most of these gadgets are pretty much standard on Ford's these days but not on Audi's. You'd think they would be standard on a £25k + car..?

of course you have your opinion maxamus007 but as a matter of interest why have a TT if you prefer your golf and the scirocco R is a better car - cause you love it really :wink:

Anyway - back to the OP query, who looks twice at a golf or scirocco or turns and glances back admiring the curves ? No-one !!!

 

[Joe Ekins]

If you don't need practicality I would go for a TT everytime, the scirocco is a sporty looking family hatchback whilst the TT is a proper sports car ;0)

 

[Anakin]

I think the new rocco is every bit as good looking as the mk II TT.
mine got almost as many looks as my bright Orange TT RS

I just didnt like the 270bhp and fwd

Really? Well thanks for clearing that up. :wink:

In my opinion, the Golf is a bit boring, a bit sensible, a middle aged mans car - who yes, has (nearly) all the quality of the A3, but got the Golf because its a cheaper more sensible option... and for me the Scirocco is just too close. Its not a low, sporty coupe, its a 3door hatchback. Not a coupe like the TT, hence the TT is a different league of car. But funnily enough, I think that the Golf R looks better than the Scirocco R, it looks more of a hot hatch.

Only my opinion, but still.

 

[MarcF-TT]

I originally REALLY liked the Scirocco. Then got a Golf MK6 and now my heart is set on a TT MK2. Looking at the Scirocco now, it just seems less grown up than the TT. The TT just looks sharper IMO and feels a lot nicer when sitting in it. Yes the TT isn't as practical so up to you really!

 

[topper harley]

I have test drove both and i agree with most of you the TT does feel more special.

the only draw back i had was the Oil consumption. Even though Audi say the engine can use up to 1l of oil per 1000miles i just cant see how it is ok ,it must be a problem with the engine and if it was on a long life service you would be putting up to 18l of oil in the engine between oil changes and audi would say thats ok. I couldnt deal with that its not the cost so much as thinking my engine is broken and audi wont admit it, it would drive me crazy.

 

[danda]

Another point to possibly consider - the way they drive, after all that's what a car is for; I've driven both and thought the drive on both had slightly different feel, the Rocco I had for test appeared to understeer more (could have been the test car), it didnt feel as precise.

Think i m with you on this one... I test drive the Golf R and it sounded awesome (but 36k for a golf no chance), but having had a golf R32 the sound from that V6 was mint! but looks the TT wins hands down the drive is a bit boring compared to my Golf, in a well known driving magazine it says its like driving a computer game...

[mr gee]

I decided to get both :lol:

Having a 2007 TT and a 2011 GTI, we decided to add a Roc R to our garage. Hopefully it'll come in Jan 2012

I can't remember having seen postings on this forum where oil consumption is really up there in the 1/1000 range. That is not to say that it's impossible but it must be an exception. Anywhere between 1/4000 to 1/10000 (miles) seems normal. And you could always opt for normal service intervals and perhaps a different grade oil, like 5W40.

Mine is improving on oil consumption. It's getting less @ 40k miles.

I think its crazy comparing a TT to a 'Roc.
They are not comparable imo.
Looks,drive,you know what I mean...

Well, surely the oily bits of the FWD 2.0 TFSi TT and the 2.0 TFSi Scirocco are the same, no?

Same engine? I think so.
Same gearbox. I think so too.
Suspension part numbers look suspiciously similar.
Brakes? Yep. The same.

So they probably drive quite similarly, I'm thinking!

Obviously the TT is significantly different in the metal that makes the bit you sit in and on and look at, but mechanically, they are extremely similar.

Let's be honest, from Skoda to Audi via SEAT and VW, the commonalities are more frequent than the differences.

 

[hugy]

Of course they have similar DNA but the TT is so much more sporty to drive.
I have'nt driven the R version but the standard car to me is very dull and thats what I mean when I say they are not comparable.

 

[msnttf10]

VW is just a rehash of the reject design for the TT.
Both the backend and frontend end simply look wrong [smiley=dizzy2.gif] [smiley=freak.gif]

 

[the minty1]

I was considering a scirocco before I got the TT as it was cheaper, just, and a bit more practical. Well I got the TT and the other day I saw a white scirocco going the other way and thought, oh yes I have made the right choice and the right colour (misano red) If I had got the scirocco every time I passed a TT I would say to myself, I should of got a TT. I am sure the scirocco driver going the other way also thought the same. The rear of that car lets the side down in my opinion.
I also thought about the mark VI golf GTI who again is a bit cheaper, but in the end its just a Golf.
I am happy with what I chose.

 

[marre]

I'll be OK with both.
