Audi or Peugeot?
I am now in the fortunate position of being able to afford a new car. I have owned three Peugeots in the past and they have been very reliable. I have always liked the Audi TT Coupe but the Peugeot RCZ GT is a good looking vehicle. Which of the two offers me best VFM and comfort (I'll be driving between 15 and 20,000 miles per year). My sensible side tells me to go for the VW Passat CC Blue Motion but I'll be 52 soon and want a bit of fun and there are only two of us now. We'll be keeping our Peugeot 307 too so am not wanting to upgrade to the 308 yet.

Answered by Honest John
Ride quality of the Audi TT and RCZ is largely determined by the wheel and tyre size. The bigger the wheels and lower the profile of the tyres the worse the ride gets. With a TT it's essential to specify 'magnetic suspension', and preferable to go for a wheel size of 18" or less. 19" without magnetic suspension is pure purgatory. Unbelivably bad.
