Audi TT - a "chick car"?

So I have read and heard in a number of places that the TT is really a chick car, not a proper sports car for a man. What do you all think?

I don't think so.. Some women drive them but I would say at least half of the ones I've seen we're driven by men


The new body style especially I think is even more sporty and they have the TT RS now which is insane

It's just a girly Looking car (soft and rounded).. like the Miata and pretty much all Nissans.

So what? Do you not have the cojones to ignore what others think and follow your own path? Or are you one of the weak-willed who Must do something that "everyone else" deems acceptable/correct (like, say, own an iphone) in order to feel like you've made the right choice?

My buddy is a competitive bodybuilder and LOVES his TT. No one calls him girly. He's also a big car enthusiast and for what it is he has amazing things to say about it.

Yup. The new ones are an improvement, but small cars with rounded edges are usually chick cars. The rounder/softer the edges, the girlier the car

Porsche Boxster is another famous girly car.

What's funny is that they're both supposedly great cars to drive, especially the Boxster.

(I'd agree with the list except for the S2000).

Mmm... Is it a manly car? Not really. A girly car? It's not really that either, though the styling is pretty soft.

It sort of falls into the same category as the Porsche Boxster. The base Boxster is also seen as a girly car, and sometimes even the Boxster S is as well, which corresponds to the 1.8L and 3.2L versions of the Audi.

I test drove one when I was shopping for a fun little convertible, didn't care for the handling of it, and it strangely felt like I was riding a motorcycle when the top was down... kind of a "buzzy" feeling that you get from vibrations from the handlebars.

If you're going to get an older one, get one with the V6. The earlier versions with the 1.8T only had 180hp while the V6 gave you 250hp, and an even bigger torque difference.

I think the TT's a very cute car.
Does it come in men's sizes?

If you have to ask, probably it is.

But if you are wondering to get one or not; you should not worry what others think, unless that is a factor in why you want this car.
