impressive, if anyone knows how to cram 10lbs of shit into a 5lb bag.. its Audi.. you dont own a hatchback if you cant fit a bike in there :p

I got me a diesel and a lil trailer, I could carry a dozen mountain bikes now with my Golf :)

next challenge: put a car seat in the back!

Not a big fan of Audi's, right?
By the way, it's not a hatchback...it's a coupé :noworry:

I have thought about getting roof bars for a bike rack, but I couldn't live with the thought of damaging the paint.
So I tried fitting it in the back, and that worked out pretty well.
Saved me some money too!

Quite the opposite, I used to own an RS6 and you want to talk about 10lbs of shit in a 5lbs bag.. 450hp Bi Turbo V8 in the front of a sedan.. dont take me the wrong way I am a mega fanboi, but thats not really a trunk if you can open it and read the clock on your radio :p

TT's are quite a bit of fun to drive, the MK1's we got in america were a lil slow but I have a feeling yours is quite a bit snappier being closer to the fatherland.

I have 5 VAG vehicles on my property now, and a huge history of previous lost but not forgotten ones.. I bleed Volkswagen/Audi, so I can be critical if I want to be :p

You can call it a coupe if you want, cant sit in the back without having everything below your knees removed.. so it fits the definition.. but its also got a hatch.. and thats why I've always liked TT's
