Would you go new Golf R or Used TTS ?

[Parky]

At the end of this year or early next i want to upgrade my current GTI mkv Apr2+
Ok I know the TTS costs more and i understand they all use the same engine/drivetrain but I really love the look of the TTS..

So what would you guys think, worth spending a little more for a used TTS or is it silly as you can buy an new Golf R and be done with a new car and cheaper price ?
Also Motor mag loved the TTS and wrote how a Golf R with the same drivetrain did not feel as exciting/involving..

If you love it, get it! Plus it'll be a change from a Golf!

I assume you don't need boot space and rear seats?

[Parky]

No..i dont like kids

I'd get the TTS if that is what you want.
If you are buying for space you could get a Tiguan (Flamesuit on)

Definitely the TTS, it's a chick magnet!!! And it looks so slender and elegant, like Jennifer Hawkins..

Dont know why you even asked! It sounds like you need a TTS and fast! They look great and go well.

They're two very different cars. Who cares what anyone else thinks? Look at both and get which one you like/suits your requirements. No one else on these forums is you (well, I hope not... cause that's against the rules and/or is creepy). So only you can answer what you like and what are your requirements.

are you sure Motor Mag loved the TTS? i thought they loved the TTRS - which is a very different car.

Its your choice which style to go for and you shouldnt let us try and steer you there.

the advantage in a used TTS is that it would have done a bigger part of the depreciation game, so might maintain a bit more of its purchase value over a new Golf R.

If the Gof R appeals, then why not also throw an S3 into the mix?

This post comes to mind (substitute TT for Vibram) : http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/f40/...tml#post642159

TTS is a sports chassis, where the Golf R/S3 aren't.

you definitely can feel the difference driving both thats for sure. Practicality i would go for the R to be honest and after test driving a TTRS recently im still content with the S3 as least i can get in an our easily and fit **** inside the car lol, including people!
