Default S2000 handles like a dog

S2000 handles like a dog according to the TT forums. It started by slating the CTR and then progressed onto the S2K. Check this thread http://www.ttforum.co.uk/forum/boards/ttoc...oc/3114.shtml

Looks like there is a lot of frustration being aired today.

Sorry about that. Probably best if you go to the main page of the forums and the find the thread for the civic type-r.

At least our car doesn't look like an upside down jelly mould.

What point they seem to have missed is that the S2k has been designed with performance in mind and not just for posing at the local supermarket with.

I agree, the S2K handles like a dream, I have no idea where they come up with that. After running three track days in my car, it's flat out wrong to say it handles like a dog.

Anyway, in the TT's defense, I've been playing Xbox's Project Gotham for the last few days and have been impressed with the TT's stability through the corners and its ability to overtake the likes of a Mini Cooper.

"I tried the S2000 and again you need to rev it really hard all the time to make quick progress. It's quite tiring on the road whereas the TT225 is very smooth and almost relaxing in comparison when making the same progress."

"Take the S2000...they had a great concept there (looks awesome) but handles like a dog and I've seen 10 year old taxi cabs with more stimulating interior design."

"the S2000 has little or no adjustment on the steering wheel and not much in the seat either"

It's very clear that the TT is made for this person and the S2K is not. All the time, I find myself humming to myself engine sounds revving all the way to redline in several gears. I guarantee you this guy does not.
