Even though they share the same market space, the Mk2 TT (2008-present) is a different animal than a 987. All '10 TTs are AWD and this one is the 2.0L turbo. The turbo kicks in fairly early. It's more of a cruiser than a sports car, so a 987 has it beat there. I drove the TT 800 miles from the pick up location and it was very enjoyable - very solid, very quiet. It has the autostick with paddle shifters and it's better than a tip but not better than a PDK. The Mk1 TT owners hate the Mk2 because it's so different (less sporty) than the Mk1. And if it makes any difference, the Mk2 gets better gas mileage than a 987. I've owned a couple of Mk1 TTs that I also bought to resell and I like this '10 better. But different strokes for different folks.
