Love the TT, but if running costs are a concern I'd think twice. Not only does it guzzle petrol, but eats tyres, has high insurance, and your sure to be bitten by the modding bug which can empty almost any wallet. I have spent approx ?11K on my car doing various mods and maintaince since buying it, and its not even up with the well modded stuff. Beware ! its a lovely disease, the nicest one of them all.
