Just had a look on the Audi site and cant seem to see if there is any rear seating in the TT coupe. Is there?

Very very small seats. OK for small kids, but that's it [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/169144-ok.gif[/img]

Cheers Mook, thanks for that. Do you think they would be ok accomodating a 4 & 2 year old with respective car seats?

As long as they don't grow any bigger yes. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/169144-ok.gif[/img]

If either front seat is used by anyone over about 5 foot 5 then the rear seat leg room becomes almost non existent. Plus its fecking hard work getting anyone/anything into the back seats IMO, strapping a cat basket in alone made me swear it was NOT a family car in any shape or form - let alone two children!

But its a cracking car though. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Sell the kids. Get a TTS. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/FIREdevil.gif[/img]

It looks pretty tight to me.

I'd just get it and worry about it later.

I think you might have an issue with the height of a car seat for the four year old. Remember the ISOFIX brackets for the two year old.

I thought that Merlot, but its only very occassionally that the kids have to go in my car. Would the height of the seat be touching the headlining do you mean?
That TTS is superb, had a look last night, what a machine and its slightly quicker than the 3.2 !.
If you guys were buying one which would it be the TTS or the 3.2?.....................

I'd get a TTS - cheaper to run and more tuneable [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/169144-ok.gif[/img]

Better drive too! Okay, it may not have the V6 sound, but it doesn't have its weight either!

Yeh, I was worried about the height of car seats for 4-12 year olds - will the top touch the rear screen? Personally I wouldn't use a booster cushion until the child was 6-8 years old. If you will just be three up with the kids then put the eldest in the front and the youngest behind them.

The 3.2 vs TTS has been well argued on the TT forum. I've got a 3.2 which is great and the sound is outstanding but I understand why many will now go for the TTS. Don't let the weight of the 3.2 put you off though as its only 25kg more than the TTS.
