Rubbish!

I love the way Haldex and VAG are still trying to perpetuate the myth that these part time AWD cars can transmit 100% of the power to the rear wheels and that car journos relay this nonsense to us...

The only nonsense in this

The only nonsense in this context is your claim that it can't.

Not my cup of Tea really,maybe a dark color,but not that AA Van color.

New Audi tt s NOT tested!

What does it matter how it drives, only hairdressers buy them. Complete waste of time reporting about this car's handling etc around circuits or twisty 'B' roads, how does it handle at 10mph around Sainsburys car park? What's the handling like cruising at 20mph along the high street? How many people will look at it whilst parked outside the local Bistro? These are the questions potential owners want answered.

"Only hairdressers but em " no that's what the slower,cheaper MX5 is for during times of the credit crunch, according to the internet anyway.
