Autocar has just tested the TT3.2 and the acceleration figures are not happy reading.:rolleyes:
0-60mph 5.8secs:thumb:, 0-100mph 15.1secs:noshake: and the in-gear times are not must better than the R32 despite the 150kgs weight advantage. I reckon the S-Tronic will shave a good half a second at least off this time which like the RS4 will improve with mileage on the clock.
I found the testdrive I had in the TT3.2 S-Tronic felt slow but put this down to the fact that it had only 284miles on the clock, I hope that this is the case with the one that Autocar tested as well.
The saving grace is that the car received a 4.5 star rating overall, handling, brakes and quality were all praised and is still regarded best in class.:wo: But handling though very good was not entertaining enough, the economy was below class average and steering feel with no up to class best naming the Cayman, but as it's almost £7K more shouldn't be even judged.
