Thanks for that insight. The last Haldex car I had was a MK1 TT with the K04 1.8T, haldex 1. It was understeer on turn in and then violent oversteer somewhere around the apex as the haldex clutch grabbed. It was scary at the limit. |

Sure no problem! My family has purchased a lot of VW/Audi products. I wish they bought Toyota/Lexus but that’s ok. The MK1 TT is such an icon, and despite their flaws are still a really good car. My brother’s MK3 TTRS is very quick with just a Stage1 setup, faster than most cars. But you are very isolated from the speed. Which is good and bad. It’s not punishing to drive every day. This is the TTS, which I really liked. I need to get some pics of the RS. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

God the current TT always floors me with how pretty it is. Kills me that you can’t get a manual anymore. The MK1 TT was amazing. It has a ton of flaws, but more than makes up for it with its character. I miss it. |

It’s a beautiful car, and I like that they have kept the same design elements as the original. Audi does understated but gorgeous design better than anyone. The interiors are just as good. I miss the MK1 also, it had so much character. My brother wished he could get a manual in the TTRS, almost every car he has owned was a manual. DSG is so good it almost makes up for it.

Yep I had an injector and HPFP go out on my mk6 GTI for no reason at 53k miles. One thing I will say about VW though. Certain parts will repeatedly break on their cars, but they are great about identifying those parts and extending the warranty on them at no cost to owners. The above-mentioned injector and HPFP were both covered since VW had decided to extend the warranty on those parts to 10y/100k miles. Same for two water pumps that failed while I owned it, both covered after VW decided to extend the warranty on those parts. I was concerned about the timing chain tensioner issue, but VW also offered a pro-rated 100k mile warranty on that part (and related damages) as well. Mine never broke thankfully, but it was nice knowing that at least some of the repairs would be fixed if it failed before 100k miles. With the MQB platform, it seems like VW squashed out most of their reliability issues. I haven't heard of any major issues with the mk7 GTI, Golf, Tiguan, or Jetta. Only exception is the Atlas apparently.

Well to be fair to Toyota a lot of that was just people on the internet wanting to get attention. Toyota wasn’t revealing much of anything about a new Supra. Once they announced the partnership with BMW, it made it into production fairly quickly (for a low volume sports car). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Looks like the magazine just edited the original BRZ photos taken at the same place.

It is definitely a photoshop render.
