Drove one of those in New Zealand way back in 1999. It was OK, but the 225bhp quattro version is far far better.

Drive a new one in Audi Driving Experience school, 3.2 quattro 250hp with TipTronic. Im realy not impressed...its car based on WV GOLF IV...Teriblle handling!

You can't really compare a heavy V6 car with a FWD car with 180bhp (unless you intended going totally off topic).

Also the 3.2 is not Tiptronic but DSG and there's a huge difference.

yep, sorry, DSG..

Sorry for off topic...but friend of mine got it..its car based on GOLF IV, and he can get inside hub any engine, when its crap.Ende ;o)

It's not based on a Golf IV. It uses a shared patform design that the Golf also uses but the TT one is 80% different!
I don't think it's possible to simply say all Golf's are crap or TT's although this is justmy opinion and of course you are entitled to yours.

and he can get inside hub any engine, when its crap.Ende ;o)

Sorry I don't understand.
