Should You Buy an AUDI TT MK2? 

Another excellent video Matt! 👍 Ordered a hoodie from your website too which I couldn't be happier with in terms of quality and thickness. Top marks all around as per! 👏

Cannot believe this is 14yrs old. Still looks like brand new.

I have owned a 2012 TT RS for a year now and it always puts a smile on my face when I drive it

This man could sell snow to the eskimos

I own a 2007 MK 2 with that same engine, but it's the s-tronic. Still looks fresh, goes very well and yes... tells me about road surface imperfections I previously didn't know exist lol.

I own a 2012 Quattro TT roadster and I love it. It’s relatively quick, handles well, and looks great. The MK2 takes the MK1 and fixes the problems while improving most of its aspects.

The MK 2 was the prettiest TT in my opinion especially the Black edition Amplified edition with the TTRS bits on, stunning looking

I had a V6 07 plate TT when this launched with gun metal alloys which was highly unique back then. Interior was class and incredible how fresh it still looks overall. loving your videos

Very thorough, you covered all of the items one would ponder in a car like the TT. So many reviews spend too much time on specs and equipment lists that anyone could research in minutes, however, real world impressions of what a car can do for ones mood and general well being is not so easy to find. Thanks for a glimpse into the TT ... a worthy detour from our every day rut. Cheers ...

Agreeable video Matt! We loved our first MK2 TT a 8J 2 ltr Black Manual, trading in our BMW convertible on it. After two years the Dealer advised us of a immaculate MK2 Black Manual TT RS he would take our 2ltr as a trade in on at a good price so what could we do except agree! Was great to get into a vastly more powerful model with still great fuel consumption on public roads at the limit.

Excellent review, just watched again I'm seriously thinking about getting one. Cheers

Always loved TT's but could never afford one but think I might be looking again Matt as I feel the Need for Speed.

Great styling the TT, preferred the mk1 styling though. The interior was one of the best, loved the chunky round features and gearstick style. Nice having space in the back to put coats and bags etc.

Got the mk2 TTs love it! Had it four years now.Never broke down very reliable.Mines on a stage one REVO now pushing 333bhp 450nm 0-60mph 4.2 secs 😊👍

Matt , im looking at an 08 Mk ii TFsi today . I must say thankyou for your precise and so knowledgable review . Sold my FK2 recently , and although no comparison , have always wanted one . thankyou

Loved my old Audi TT mk1 sold it back in 2016, so the same age as your mk2 today, great handling car and still a relevant and modern shape. I expect the mk2 is a big improvement too, so probably a great car.

Straight on Cargurus. Damn you! Love the fact you like these, I think they are fab. Had a mk3 TTS until recently but for me the sweet spot for value and performance is a 2.0 FSi mk2, even in this crazy used market.

We've had two Mk2 Audi TT's and we love em. Think I would agree with pretty much everything you said Matt. The ride is firm but its a sporty car and it does handle pretty well! the torque steer can make it a bit leery if you put a lot of power through the front wheels. Think Audi were a bit stingy on equipment on the TT even the steering wheel controls are an option! The later .2.0 TFSI 2011 on is chain driven so no belt to worry about.

Great review. I have a 2012 tdi black edition. Its a stunning looking thing unlike pretty much anything else. Performance is fine and yes the ride is extremely firm but its what you would expect. They have also just shot up in price like a lof of things

Excellent review! I instantly clicked on this as it's one of my personal cars! I have the TDI Quattro as I do a lot of mileage. I get over 650 miles on a full tank and the turbo sounds lovely at 3000 rpm. Maybe someday I'd upgrade to a petrol but they are nice cars. I sold my RCZ to get this and don't regret it! The only gripes I have is the general Audi privileges. It's S Line with Sat Nav, Heated Seats and Bose sound system but no cruise control or electric mirrors! My RCZ in comparison had everything.

Bought 2011 TDI Black Edition last year, now done 114,000 miles, flew through MOT last month. Comfortable, quick enough, 500 miles on a tank, Bose is great (had it re-conditioned, common fault) - brilliant car 👍

I had an 57 plate convertible for 4 years,auto,heated and fully electric seat and it was wonderful probably my favorite car in my motoring life. Great video, made me very nostalgic

let’s talk a bit about common problems, should we : 1) water in the boot. in both convertible and coupes, drain are blocking easy and you end up with plenty of water in the boot.. 2) boss system is lovely , but the amplifier goes wring easy and the replacement cost around £400-£500 fitting EXcluded. 3) mobiliser unit can go wrong too. as a result you may end up with your boot opening every time you closing your passenger door or other gremlin like issues (common problem in plenty vw skoda etc) 4) if you go for the vr6 you will absolutely fall in love with the sound and the kick , but you will have to pay around £1500 every 100k for a chain replacement. 5) go for the quatro no questions asked. 6) it comes with magnetic suspension, haven’t drive it but i know it had a very expensive repair cost when will need replacement/fix (£4k-£5k) 7) in good news it looks much more expensive than what it sells in UK. 8) it feels much more expensive than what it sells in UK 9) snow is not so scary with the quattro 10) something v yes very important that a lot of people forgetting about this generation is that half of the frame is aluminium, which means much much much much harder to have rust issues. Also it helps have 50/50 weight distribution but yeah who cares about that 😂..

Thanks for this review. I just bought an 07 front wheel drive model of the TT. I appreciate the maintenance specifications and things to look out for.

i got a 2008 TT 3.2 Quattro 6MT as my first car back in May, I absolutely love it.

Excellent and accurate review, I've had a TT mk2 for 10 years and happy to keep it for another ten👍

Hopefully I’ll buy tt fsi 2.0 tomorrow ! Thanks for your informations they were rlly helpful 👏

From a guy who grew up around south Manchester and now lives in the Southern Hemisphere, i love your reviews as I get a wonderful nostalgic 10 minute view of the Peak District:) oh, how I miss it. much appreciated:)

Great review Mat, I have a Mk2 Facelift 2.0 TFSI DSG Quattro which has a stage one map as well as the gearbox 265hp and 139700 miles fully serviced and goes really well. Quality product👌🏾

Had mine almost 4 years (2011 plate) and I love it, was never a big fan until I took mine for a test drive, have it mapped to stage 2, very fun car to drive.

Family friend swears by these TTS but always buy from reputable dealers and get a boiler plate warranty as they do break mechanically. Great review again ! 😎

Great, articulate review with the added extra humor. I enjoy his reviews

Recently bought a 2007 Audi TT love it and everything works well

Excellent vid. Great cars.- fun to drive and look pin sharp still. Watch out for leaking interiors which are common, either due to blocked drain under the electric spoiler or inadequate sealing around the tailgate hinges, and blocked drains in the doors. All rectifiable but can create problems with battery tray, amplifer, electric windows, and speakers. I;ve had to deal with this on mine and I'm not alone in facing this. None of the damage is expensive as breakers have all the parts you need. Also on the 2L the engine thermostat can run cold, which won't cause major issues but worth being aware of. Driver's airvents often broken due to people putting very heavy crappy clip on phone holders on them - again easy to DIY fix with parts from breakers. Finally rear lights can suffer an earthing fault. Plenty of videos online on how to fix that. None of this is a dealbreaker. And as stated in the vid, make sure cambelt done - if it isn't then do it.

Fantastic video and stunning MK2. Love the interior. Absolutely love TT ‘s and couldn’t be happier with my MK3 Black Edition 😉👌🏻👍🏻

The mk1 was a great piece of design imo. Bulbous is not the word I’d use to describe it. I feel the mk1 will be the future classic.

Getting mine next week and can’t wait! My Jetta’s been retired at 58,000 miles lol didn’t feel right not being in a coupe. Nice video bro.

I have always owned Audi TTs the one I have now I've had since 2008 has never cost me anything to run, just changed the alloys but an excellent all-rounder for two people fast and smooth with good MPG and the bodywork and engine are still mint apart from the hairdresser comments now and again I personally think they are one of the worlds best-kept secrets love mine and I drove lots of other top of the range cars great review

I’m buying a 2009 TTS in 3 weeks and been watching all the reviews I can of them. I’m finally buying a “big boy” car and I’m so stoked. Something I can grow with and it’s a mature car. I was considering a STI but honestly, compared to a TTS, it’s a cereal box kids toy. The TT is a sophisticated coupe that’s perfect for a bachelor like myself lol. I’m so very excited to experience this car!! Thanks for the great review. Very informative and I really dig your opinions on style and performance. Cheers from America 😎

Morning Matt. I own a 2011 TTS Black (tho it's white). Got it mapped and its so fast, its funny. Only downside is the mag ride on 19s is bordering on painful, other than that it's a great car.

I love this channel! Soothing voice

Fun review, comprehensive as per usual. Personally, I'd take a silver P/X Swedish barge over this car, even if I could afford it. Fantastic views of the landscape, thank you :)

My TT is identical to the one in the video and once again all the comments were bang on. One thing, the boot with seats down is ideal for golf clubs.

Hi matt thanks for the video actually buying a 2009 audi tts coupe quatro in a weeks time so watching to get advice cheers great video

Thank you Matt for another excellent video🙂

Christmas is coming and this is on my list. Thanks.

I have a 2005 250 hp 3.2 v6 TT rn, im loving it, especially with its racing red color and duck spoiler

Great review, glad you're liking the car :) I've just bought one of these in a very similar spec to yours. I agree they've aged so nicely (even the MK3 doesn't look too different to this design from 2006) and I love the red interior, especially with that extended leather option (the red centre up the centre console). They seem really good value now compared to Golf GTIs and Sciroccos of the same age and mileage too.

The leather jacket metaphor is spot on haha! Great car, great review!

I've had 3 Mk1 TT's , first one a 225, then two V6 3.2. Just sold the last one a few weeks ago. Strangely enough I'm considering the Mk2 V6 on my search for another car. This video has more or less sealed the deal. Cheers for the video Matt, will be checking more of them out.

I loved mine, it had slate grey interior with matching head lining which made the interior lighter. The only issues I had with it were the sticking rear pop up spoiler, which Audi fixed FOC even though the car was out of warranty. I also had issues with both window regulators, again Audi of Southampton fixed one FOC, the other I paid for through a Audi specialist. Mine was the 2.0, it drunk motor oil like no other car I’ve owned, 1Ltr every 1800Km according to the manual if memory serves, or about every 3 -4 months depending on driving style/distance. Great car, very practical - I wouldn’t bother with the convertible, proper hair dressers car that one.

I’ve had my 56 plate 2 litre petrol for 4 years and it’s been awesome and never let me down 👌🏽

I have the 3.2 6 cylinder Quattro with the S-line package. It's RED. I've had it for several years. I commute a lot in LA California. It's such a fun car. I get lots of compliments. People think it's newer than what it is. Its so good on the highway. Lots of power. But for a sports car, it's so practical. I the seats are usablel for kids. I've picked up my little cousins on a school run. There's plenty of cargo space to load things for work. I'm defnitely going to upgrade to the 2019 model next year.

I recently bought a nice looking late MKII TFSI Quattro Black Edition with the larger 19” wheels with 80k on the clock. Great car and very quick, I suspect it had been remapped. The only downer a repeated problem with the TPMS sensor. Three times in the garage and never fixed. That and front headlights overly bright at night. Every other car would flash me.

I was a Honda guy for 15 yrs. First was a beautiful late model 2.2vtec Prelude followed by two FN2 Type Rs. However, switching to a 2011 Daytona Grey 2ltr TFSI Mk2 TT made me wish I'd bought one earlier than 2020. The build quality and acceleration are far superior than the Type Rs. It's typical German engineering at its best. Matt hits the nail on the head stating the Mk2 hasn't aged. It's understated and easy in the eye. If I had one complaint, the front seats sagg somewhat. Mines only done 50k and I'm a second owner, yet it does let the overall experience down somewhat. I've read on TT forums this is a common issue hence was surprised Matt didn't mention it on his high mileage example. All said I'd highly recommend one and Matts review, as ever, is precise, interesting and engaging.

Been absolutely lusting over the Audi TTS since you reviewed that beautiful blue one a while back. Damn you!

Had a mk2. Fantastic design, and the looks were the standout but it was quite unreliable and whatever could go wrong did. And this had low miles and full Audi service history. But yeah, for the money a good TT is a stylish car, just don't expect boxster levels of handling as they're typically Audi and have numb steering and are nose heavy. But good value. My friend game me a lift in his TTs and it was unbelievably fast, light speed!

I’ve always liked the TT. The newer versions are quite slick-just a cool design.

Picked up a 2011 3.2 vr for the misses (though is my toy come the weekend) a few months back. Definitely think the Tt version 3.2 is underrated compared to golf r32 which is a same because of the sportier handling , lower centre of gravity and lighter with aluminium panels. Definitely bought it as an investment car because they won’t make that engine again

Bought the missus an 08 in black with red leather, drives great, rides stiff, and the single tailpipe model which sounds way better than the dual exit jobbie. 👌🏻

Just the video your lineup for TTs was lacking, as we were eyeing one for me gf and your realistic viewpoint is nice to hear. Thanks 🙏

Great review Matt. I owned a TT mk2 09 plate. 2.0 tfsi. I owned the car for 10 years and was my second car. Great car to drive, I only did 30k in 10 years mainly weekend drives otherwise garaged. Faults were…… rear lights had bad earths. ..Power steering rack replaced. .. Both front springs and mounts ..wiper motor broke...car doors let water in...window trim on small rear windows came away...rear parcel shelf mounts broke.....it drank oil until I got updated breather fitted which made a huge difference in consumption...turbo diverter valve replaced with new version improved turbo lag...coolant thermostat at 70k.. wiper motor, rear parcel shelf supports kept breaking. Sold car at 81k fir 3700. ..would I recommend it, yes. l miss the car it was such fun to drive.

Had a 56 plate 3.2 V6 MK 2 TT - Fantastic car! All the power you'd ever need, great equipment and reliable. What more could you want!

I spent 2 months carefully saving TTS Mk2's in my Autotrader favourites. Then one day out I had a look at a "bargain" A4 Quattro V6 and bought it. I've since spent 2 grand putting it right. I don't even really like it. It's pretty good in a straight line but it's too big to really fling round corners. I'm such a moron...

Another great video Matt, the Audi tt is a fabulous car, I've just purchased one

Really nice review, I've owned and driven many, many car's over the years, as I did work in the motor trade for a while, so I know a good car when I drive it, so I tend to be pretty particular about my own car. I've owned 2 TT's firstly a MK1 225 Quattro, which I think had been remapped at some point previously, because it was stupidly fast, sadly it died on an Italian Autostrada, in torrential rain, not me driving badly I hasten to add... So then 3 years ago, I went to buy a 1 Series BMW M-spec Diesel, and was totally unimpressed asked the sales man what else he had, I might be interested in, and test drove my current car a 2009 TT Mk2 Tdi Quattro, and as a then 10 year old car had only 67,000, I probably paid a little over the odds tbh, but I absolutely love this car, it is so well put together and feels so planted on the road, it's comfortable on long trips, goes round corners really well, I find 3rd gear the best for quick overtakes, the midrange grunt from that 260 ft lb 2.0 common rail engine is just sublime, and the car is a lot quicker than people might give it credit for, and if you don't hoon it about too much does about 45-50mpg, the road tax is (in 2022) £165 compared to my Mk1 which was £300+ pa, and ranging about 28mpg 😕 My only complaints are the bonnet pull handle breaks too easily, and the known issue with the rear light earth, when the rear lights stop working, which is easily fixable, and took me about an hour to do with some extra wires grounded to the chassis in the boot either side, no other issues, it gets a service once a year with the MOT, and has been totally reliable, I'd agree about the heated seats as my mk1 had them and this mk2 doesn't, and I miss that feature. Yes I've also had the usual 'hairdresser car' jibes, but the last person to say that drove a baby sized SUV, so that tells you something, also it must elicit jealously for some reason, as I've had it keyed obviously by a total 🔔🔚 Overall I would definitely recommend anyone to try a MK2 Tdi Quattro, if you're after comfort, individuality in a sea of SUV sameness, as well as some decent economy, it is an utterly brilliant all-rounder, I'm going to be keeping mine for the foreseeable future. 👍 👍👍

I bought this car about a month ago and my goodness. I am so in love. It still looks so new even though it's really old. Hopefully I can have this car for a good 6-7 years before I move onto the mk3 TT 😍

TT has always been a favourite of mine. Was really close to buying a mk2 back in 2008 but now on my second mk3. I’m interested to see what Audi do with the next version. Great review as always 👍🏾

Good review, Had mine TTS MK2 for 5 yrs and it’s been sound for daily use around London Town 👍

I would love to get a tt, and wil most likely get one after seeing your video! As always great video 📹 👍

Have one and did some changes to it - most beautiful car in my mind (in this price class)

I’ve got a stock MK2 TTS. Planning to put an RamAir induction kit and stage one it soon. That’s all that’s needed imho. Great cars!

Absolutely YES 😀 although my choice would be the 3.2 Quattro.

Nice review Matt as always. Great work 👌👏

You could probably put an aftermarket headunit in the car to bring it up to date with current looks on the dash / displays. FOr a 2011 aurion its only 300 dollars for ahead unit and another 200 to install (Oz dollars).

I've had my mk2 2009 for 2 years. Amazing all rounder!

I love my 2013 bright red TTS, only down side I discovered last week was the fact a new battery cost me $450 after fitting and reprogramming at the audi dealership. My wife's Nissan Murano battery cost $150 fitted last month

great videos on the TT my mum turned 80 two weeks ago she picks up her 2020 2,0 40 black edition tomorrow 42k on the clock 26k pounds quite looking foreward to it

Hi Matt, another great video 👍👍

I own a 2007 3.2 manual on private plates and body even now is still mint , only upgrades I have done is lowered springs on my 18 inch alloys looks awesome in my opinion and upgraded stereo system to pioneer and upgraded speakers all round blinding sound , only downside is road tax which is top tier unfortunately but for me very well worth it and still love the look ❤😊

I have had a Mark 1 3.2 Quattro, loved it. I have a Mark 2 3.2 Quattro, fabulous car, speed handling and that roar from the 3.2.

They’re brilliant. If in the trade just a great piece of stock. . Would I own one not in the trade. Yes. They’ve got a so so image but they’re a Bob on thing. Carpets and dash trim fantastic. It’s a tool, all be it a fun one. 2.0t fsi plain fun. Red leather works so well. It’s the cabin that impresses the most for anyone thinking buying one.

I had a mark 1.8 turbo Add soft top. Great car and solid. Classic

Probably the best car review I've seen.....ever !

Another great video Matt quick question assuming it’s genuine mileage are 15 year or even older cars with less than 20k miles worth looking at or would you be more confident buying one with close to 100k which has been used regularly

Timing belt is due 72k or 5 years and the oil issue would recommend later ones 12 plate onwards or early ones that have had piston and con rods done otherwise leave them. Also dsg recommended every 36k

I loved driving my friends TT. What a fun car!

Enjoyed the review. Well done.

Have the same car remapped it fuel mpg are great and power is awesome. Definitely a top sports car

You are right about getting into the boot. My battery died and it's located in the boot. The emergency pull wasn't working either so you can imagine the drama. Mine is a roadster.

I like it, good review. Many thanks for making it.

Only thing I would mention is that it is so important on these cars to get all the optional extras that came on the car as retro fitting will cost a fortune. Look for cars with the top spec factory stereo, the 19 inch wheels ( you will want them) heated seats, rear sensors ( these don’t come with rear view cameras from the factory) take your time look and don’t be there are plenty of them about. Some with poor spec that I would avoid

A nice enough car, I suppose, but personally I just couldn't live with looking at that rear end styling every day. An A5 two door coupe is so much easier on the eye.

Great review of a great car that is so cheap for what it can deliver

I'm finally out of college and will be saving to buy this car next year... Going from '01 Peugeot 206 1.9D to this should feel amazing.

Any chance you could review the Hyundai Coupe/Tiburon (latest years)? :D I think THAT is the most sensible sporty looking coupe you can find

For me the TT mk1 looks the best!Inside and out! It's s already on its way to become a future classic! Other than that amazing TT mate! Enjoy!

Friend got a 90k mile diesel 2010 s line quattro for 6k today rough round the edges but i think is a good price! Is white and manual too

We had a bog standard 2.0TFSI the same year as that in red with just over 100,000 on the clock; a cheeky little re-map turned it into a real flyer. Very niche I know, but its the only smallish 'sports' car that has enough luggage space to fit a wheelchair in the boot - we toured to the South of France in it with that and all our luggage. Only cost (apart from servicing) was a the driver's window regulator, a real gem of a car.

Great video as usual, funny and quality. I will therefore just about forgive you slurring an MX5 😉 Coffecup/handbrake coordination failure is unforgivable.
