Would love to have the BMW's engine in the TT

IS this what we call humiliation ?

 

[castagna]

The TT looks great, the 135i looks....

The TT has a great inteior , the 135i interior is....

Obviously I prefer the Audi.

 

[Centurion]

The TT is begging for a monstrous engine.

I still think the TT should be compared to Z4. The 1er has an advantage in comfort and interior space due to the fact it's a different type of car.

But the TT should have had an advantage in performance being a sports car but it doesn't - by a big margin. 135 beats the TT in a straight line, around the track, on the slalom, in breaking and heck even fuel consumption and it costs less. Talk about superior technology.

My question is: If they had compared TT 2.0 TFSI to 120i which car would had won?

95% of the TT and the 1 series coupe sold will be with the smaller engines and there Audi has the clear advantage.

I've personally driven both those cars you mention and in my book 120i Hatchback is a winner becuase the 120i is cheaper, more practical and having better comfort
I wouldnt even consider either a TT or 1er, two completly different cars and they are aiming for a different crowd.
Its either Z4 or TT becuase they are both unpractical and roadsters, or its a 120i or a Golf.

 

[Zafiro]

havent anyone noticed that they meassured the TT 0-100km/h in 5.3 seconds. I have never seen such good time before, not even Z4 3.0is is that fast. I think around 6.0 seconds are more common for this TT.
Is it a typo or is TT 3.2 really that fast?

 

[Yperion]

I've personally driven both those cars you mention and in my book 120i Hatchback is a winner becuase the 120i is cheaper, more practical and having better comfort

And the TT is faster , has better quality and it's sportier.

But you are right TT and 1 series coupe shouldn't be compared at all. Much different cars.

Audi TT 2.0 TFSI probably should not be compared with the 120i. That Audi starts at €32,750. 120i 3-door hatch, even with M-Sport package will be €28,700. At the Audi's price bracket, it's best to compare the 130i, €33,500. That gives 265 PS (vs 200), 0-100kmh in 6.0 (vs 6.6), +6mph on the top end, and will do some things the Audi won't. And with less mass over the front wheels (no turbo, no intercooler, magnesium-alloy block), might have better turn-in and responses than the 135i.

Most likely the 1er. The TT scored less points in the following:

Body: 509/541
Driving dynamics: 704/725

You nailed it. For the price, you almost always have good chance of getting more performance with a BMW than an Audi.
