I've already made my decision on this (got my GTI in January), but just wanted to open it up for discussion if anyone has insight. I was somewhat considering a TT roadster as I am moving out to southern cal. in a week or two, but went with the GTI in the end mainly because a) it's such a better value for a money and b) it's my only car so I wanted more utility than a roadster can offer.
I know the GTI and TT have a lot in common, and in the end there was no way I could justify $12k+ more for a car with the same DSG transmission and 2.0T, and would have been doing it for the pleasures of a having a drop-top. The main thing I'm wondering, though, is how does the MkVI GTI compare to the real world driving experience of the TT (e.g. AWD)? The TT has been called a GTI in sexier skin (and boy is the mk2 sexy IMO), particularly with the Mk1 TT, but apparently Audi made the Mk2 TT a bit more of a sports car.
Even though my decision has passed, it's still something I wonder about.
p.s. like the new subforum :thumbup:
