Re: 335i alternatives
if you're interested in the audi TT as an alternative, i could provide some thoughts as my bro drives a TT 2.0 and i drive a 335i.
1. Difficult to get into rear seats of audi TT. I would recommend peeps shorter than 1.54m to attempt sitting at the back comfortably. For the 335i, have sat someone 1.88m tall in the rear comfortably.
2. Fuel consumption figures in singapore. Audi TT rougly 8.5 km/l, 335i roughly 5.8-6.0 km/l. Don't drive much on highways so my figure might be lower than some other owners.
3. Audi FWD, can get wheel front spin when coming out of corners.
4. 335i steering gives more feedback and has a better feel.
5. Audi TT gives more of a roadster feel. you can feel that you're going fast (a shiok feeling sometimes), nice exhaust note, can hear spoiler goes up at 125 km/h and goes down at 80 km/h. 335i has more of a cruiser feeling... don't feel that i'm going fast unless i redline the car. It just builds up speed linearly and effortlessly with the amount of torque that it has.
6. Audi TT feels more nimble as it's lighter and smaller. Only abt 1280 kg compared to 335i 1615 kg.
7. Audi DSG gearbox beats 335i auto hands down
8. when parked next to each other, more peeps notices the audi than the 335i coupe (unfortunately haha).
9. interior finishing is really subjective... some folks like the audi's more, some like the 335i more... different feel really imho.
10. 335i sound system sounds better.
11. Audi invites you to loads of nice events (aftersales)... something i wished PML did more!
that's it really.
Like another person suggested, you could also wait for the Audi A/S5 to be released... i think that might be a great alternative for you... rumours are that A5 preview event would be held next month.
