I have had a mk1 tt and it was the most unreliable car I ever owned then I bought a merc slk and it was a great car. After 3 years of owning the slk a friend showed me the new tt that was coming out in a magazine and so I went to Audi and had a test drive.
I bought the 3.2 v6 brand new and it was a unreliable dog from the start. Electrical problems all over and Audi UK were less than helpful.
Avoid Audi as a company.
As for the handles, some are metal some are plastic as I found out when I got a second set . Mine are 53 plate handles and metal so I guess some later ones must be plastic!
Get used to checking oil on the zed regularly and also the stupid dip stick on the early models is tricky to read but once you get the hang of it it's fine
Just get one that hides the age if that's what you want, very few that are meant to say something actually do IMO .
I get asked all the time what my plate means..... Nothing it's just a plate to hide the age!
Anyway it's not my fault Zeus. It was like one of the top images that came up on google when I typed in Autobrite for some strange reason.
Ok GM if that's what your going with, I believe you
