Test drive Audi TT compartment 1998 - 2006 compartment

Wolf essence

Built on the basis of ordinary golf, earlier Teteshka was essentially a peaceful sheep. The creators of the second -generation car did everything so that the sports audi not only seemed to seem, but was also a real wolf.
 



A fair share of extreme
The blackness of the ceiling presses the head on the shoulders, the side glasses are observation slots, a narrow strip of wind. The right leg rests on the partition on the central tunnel ... That's how you feel at the wheel of an audi-TT of the first generation. Of course, you can make an amendment to my considerable height of 186 cm, but those who were on my shoulder also began to experience attacks of claustrophobia after a while.
 

Now there is more place inside. If formally, according to the press release, then the cabin increased in length by 75, and in width by 29 mm. But by golly, the feeling that you are sitting in a spacious car did not arise from this. The same observation slots and a black ceiling, and in the back seat, as before, you can only put a bag. Well, at least huge mirrors help to understand what is happening around.
 

But no one promised a place, as in a bus. But they promised a fair portion of extremely. And the order is still with this. Planting in the salon requires a certain dexterity and flexibility, and to close, like a safe, the door can easily be able to easily be a bodybuilder. Is this not ambiguous hints that the machine is more prone to fighting than to a peaceful life?
 

But it will definitely be convenient for me to fight. Having faded the electric drives of a well-defined cup-peel, moving the steering column back and forth and up and down, quickly found the optimal landing. And he noted along the way: it is unlikely that it makes sense to overpay for smooth skin the base alcantara looks no less spectacular, moreover, more tenacious.
 

In addition to seats, there are other pleasures. For the right elbow, a small armrest was attached to the handbrake. And now you do not need to tie a pillow to the leg. Although it still rests on the partition of the central tunnel, but under the upholstery of the latter is a soft insert. And the ability of designers Audi to create stylish interiors has recently become an axiom.
 

This time the homework was to add more sports. Please get it! The devices were drowned into the wells, and the visor over them was sheathed with leather. And how nice it is to rotate these fashionable, from polished aluminum rings-rings-air streams and made in the same style of the climate control and audio systems. Who will say that using the latter is at least somewhat uncomfortable or incomprehensible, let him give a stone the first to me.
 

But I won’t say thanks to the wheel, you won’t wait. A bagel with a cut off lower sector looks certainly spectacular, but this notion is convenient only when the steering wheel makes half a turn in each direction, such as, for example, Formula 1. Audi has all 2.7 turns, so that with intense taxiing a hand About the cut stumbles all the time.

 
   
The new -the -the -feine is more stylish and expensive
 

Large ears of the seats are not a tribute to fashion, good side support is needed for a car that can go through so quickly
 

Devices are well read, in addition, deep wells and visors protect well from sunlight
 
  
In the back seat, the place is much smaller than it seems in the picture. Behind a driver of 185 cm tall, a small child will hardly sit down
 

Pockets in the backs of seats for TT are almost useless
 

Not many sports coupes can boast of such a capacious trunk. Its volume is 290 liters, and with folded seats, all 700




And so that no one is offended
But with appearance, the designers tried to do as carefully as possible. The team of Walter de Silva only corrected what Thomas Freeman drew, who, by the way, was created by New Zhuk. Everything is logical, there is no need to cut the chicken that carries gold eggs, and to offend those who paid their money for the previous model.

The car was pumped up, gear, awarded the radiator grille with a branded shield and decorated with luminous stripes of the turn signals in external mirrors. The last special effect, it turned out, makes an indelible impression on the hot southern guys traveling in six.
 

But jokes aside. Now the teetska is very much like Porsche (if they say that they do not like such a comparison, I won’t believe it for anything). And in front of the coupe resembles an angry boxer frowning. I do not think that the car has become more beautiful, but more severe, more aggressively one hundred percent. Maybe de Silva was advised by our dealers? After all, as practice has shown, on Russian roads the formidable appearance of your vehicle is a much more good argument than beautiful forms. For example, when it was necessary to ask someone to free a row, it was not necessary to hang on the bumper for a long time and blinking with high light. The drivers in front of the walking cars often became polite and compliant, only seeing my TT in the rearview mirror.

With a song in life
It is interesting that, I was pleasing around the car and playing up with the buttons in the cabin, I did not go right away. No, the launch of the motor did not puzzle. Here, no fashion trends are started by an ordinary key. It’s just a awakened engine that is so weighty that for the sake of pleasure, I repeated the procedure for starting three times, no less. And when you start playing the gas pedal, goosebumps run through the animal bass on the skin. No, definitely, the predecessor sang more modest.
 

However, not only vocal data of the V-shaped six were delighted. This 250-horsepower engine is incredibly versatile. I’ll start with the main one: the audi accelerates with it to hundreds in 5.9 seconds with mechanics and 5.7 with a DSG box. The numbers are unlikely to lie, the car for a stormy accompaniment of mufflers is really not childishly tearing, I barely managed to wield a lever. The moves of which, by the way, could be shorter, and shifts of gears are more clear. Why do I vote with both hands for DSG, albeit with an overpayment of $ 2650. And in the city it is convenient with her, and the car accelerates faster.
 

But let's return to the mechanics. If instead of the fourth, accidentally stick the sixth, in principle, nothing terrible will happen. In this case, traction will be enough for very tangible acceleration.
 

But when the combat sorties are finished, you can not remember that you are an athlete. It’s easy to go on TT calmly. No need to constantly support the tachometer arrow above 2000 rpm. The moment of the engine is enough to move from the second, accelerate to 60 km/h, and then cut down as much as the sixth. If at the same time not exceed 120 km/h, gasoline consumption will not come out of a dozen liters per hundred. For a 3.2 liter engine, this is an excellent indicator. True, in the combat mode of the compartment, all twenty is getting out.
 

The athlete has another motor. The same, 2-liter, with direct injection and turbine, which is placed on golf-gti and Audi-A4. Yes, he has 50 smaller strengths than V6, but TT is bullets with him, be healthy. And this engine burdens, and you no effect of turboyama. That's just one but ...
 



The matter of technology
Full -wheel drive is possible only with a 3.2 liter engine. At first glance, the advantages of Cvattro become obvious if you go along a slippery coating. And so it was with the predecessor. On the dry road, it remained almost front -wheel drive, and the moment on the rear wheels transmitted the Haldex coupon only when slipping. Now 15 percent of traction is constantly entering the rear axle, which allows even the dishes to take turns faster. So for the realization of your sports ambitions, in my opinion, it is better to prefer a coupe with all -wheel drive.
 

And, believe me, this machine is created for turns. No, she excellently holds high -speed line, and it is quite convenient to move in the city. Only after a couple of hours of trip, instead of the motor, I want to listen to the audio system. You begin to notice some creaks in the skin, the suspension takes out with stiffness, and the hanging black ceiling drives depression. But when with very tangible overloads you write a turn, thanks to the buckets of the seats for not spreading through the door sheathing, then all the above is already the side. The car not only learned to stand on an arc, now it is impossible to blame the steering wheel of at least some slurred reactions. He is equally a bit and informative.
 

But in order to achieve such excellent controllability and course stability, engineers did a tremendous work. Now TT has its own platform, and not a cart from golf, as it was before. The body weighs only 206 kg, 140 of which aluminum, the rigidity for twisting increased by 50%. The front suspension and the subframe of the rear multi -tread is also made of winged metal. The result is 137 -grown in length and a 78 mm width of the coupe weighs even a little less than its predecessor and rides incomparably better.
 

The most amazing is not much more expensive. If the previous model could be bought for $ 53,207, now for an audi-TT with a motor that added 20 liters in power. s., dealers ask for $ 56,994, and a 250-horsepower croach with a DSG box has risen in price by only $ 1307 to $ 72,316. \u200b\u200bAnd if by and large the TT used to be prestigious, fashionable, but a physical education, now a real athlete. For this, in my opinion, it is not a sin to pay extra.

 
    
As in the best houses

Now in TT the volume of the motor affects only the type of drive. Otherwise, the basic configurations are no different. Moreover, they are also very rich. The compartment is equipped with leather sports seats with electric drive, a dynamic stabilization system, climate control, xenon headlights, cast discs, CD magnet, an on-board computer, electric mirrors and glass windows. The DSG box, which is now called in Audi, you can get with any of the engines. Of the additional options, perhaps the most interesting adaptive shock absorbers with magnetic fluid, in the sport mode, extinguishing minimal fluctuations in the body. Meanwhile, you can choose a comfortable mode. True, $ 1949 will have to pay for a smart suspension.
