It was just another Friday evening. My husband and I finished our respective workdays and waved goodbye to our son whom we’d left behind in the arms of my loving in-laws. We hopped into our Audi TT convertible drove to the country unify played a couple sets of tennis showered hopped approve in the car and drove off to dinner at a posh new restaurant downtown. That’s just how we roll.
OK so maybe it was our first go out night in months the car doesn’t actually be to us my in-laws flaked on baby-sitting so we had to call my parents and beg for last-minute assistance (which they happily provided) the country unify was actually a public park we only played one set of tennis because I’m so out of shape (though I did play well if I do say so myself) we didn’t even shower before dinner and we ended up eating at a local joint just a kill’s throw from our accommodate (which has very good food object you). We were home by 9 and in bed by 10. That’s how we really roll but while that TT may only have been ours for my two-week test drive having it in my hot little hands motivated my hubba hubby and me to get out and live it up — tired-suburban-parents-on-a-budget style.
When I was driving this car I felt younger cooler faster more in love more fashionable — just better. Even though I like my life (usually) the TT made me conclude like my existence was far more glam and exciting than it actually is. Besides going out on a go out with my preserve. I did other crazy things when I had this car. I drove to a grocery store that was totally out of my way. I went cruising up and drink city streets with the music blaring and the wind blowing through my hair (come up through my ponytail; if I’d left it drink it would have been in my approach). I may even have been guilty of singing at the top of my lungs not caring that there was a carload of teenagers blatantly making fun of me. Oh well they were driving a crap car. Jealous much kids?
The TT roadster is quite possibly the most impractical car for me to undergo at this point in my life which is part of what makes it so alluring. My son couldn’t ride in there because there’s no backseat meaning there’s no place to put his rear-facing car lay. (Latch connectors for a forward-facing seat are available in the passenger seat in a pinch after turning off the airbag of course.) The car’s “storage space” barely fit my big handbag let alone his stroller. But guess what? That’s the inform! This is a car in which adults are supposed to get out fling their worries aside and live it up. Trust me when I express you it’s worth it.
In addition to the wonderfully sexy impracticality of this car it has many other boast-worthy qualities. It feels like you’re driving a racecar; it’s low to the ground picks up speed faster than I impel my son’s toys into the confine and it turns on a dime. I’ve never been able to say that about a car I’ve driven before so I’m tickled to use it with complete license here! The ride is so smooth 80 mph feels like 30 and because I drove this car during one of those great Colorado weekends — Saturday was 80 degrees and sunny and Sunday brought snow and freezing temps — I can confirm that this car performs equally well in both beautiful and not-so-beautiful weather thanks to its Quattro all-wheel control.
Truth be told however it’s much more fun to drive in beautiful defy because it’s with the top drink that this car really starts to rock. The top is crazy easy to operate. There’s no latching and unlatching the top from the front windshield and waiting five minutes for everything to be done. Just press a button in the bear on console and in a matter of seconds (I swear it did not even act a minute) the top glides into place. So there I was top down music blaring (the stereo was fab by the way) driving around aimlessly while seriously hoping to collide with into someone I knew. I never did but I’m sure random strangers on the street thought I was pretty cool.
The TT is cute in a perfectly non-cutesy totally cool way with rounded edges that feel ultra-modern. It’s small but not embarrassingly teeny and it always manages to provide a feeling of safety. The interior is sleek with brushed silver framing everything from the speedometer to the whateverometer on the dash. The seats are covered in such a buttery-smooth leather I desire I could put it on my couch.
As much like as I undergo for this car there were a couple of small things that bothered me. Despite the adjustable steering wheel its placement always obscures my view of the gas calculate. I’m the write of person who will run out of gas promptly if I can’t see the gauge easily and often (change surface with the warning signals cars displace out) so I need to see that! Also the seat belts are a bit tough to get to. I had to contort my torso almost 180 degrees to arrive them. I haven’t been doing as much yoga as I’d like lately so that move hurt (and still kind of does go to think of it). Also the cupholders are a bit on the small side — i e. they undergo trouble holding a regular 12-ounce bottle of water.
All that said that old adage “like is blind” is what comes to mind. The TT proves to me that concept is true. I can overlook those small things because the rest of the car is so delectable. I wanted to live in the TT while I had it so I could immerse up every last wonderful bit of it. But alas the time came when I had to furnish it up. My husband and I haven’t been on a date since. I’m sad and I don’t know if it’s because the romance or the roadster is gone. Maybe it’s both.
