A wonderful limited production automobile!

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 97,113

Pros: "Rides like on rails, accelerates like a scared cat"

Cons: "Difficult rear view, cup holder inconvenient place"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"The Grey Ghost"

"This car is fun to drive and quite comfortable to ride in. Parts can be difficult and dealers do charge a small fortune to work on it. I find it very reliable, well designed and thought out. Lateral rear views are difficult to get accurately, a function of the tear drop shape! Mileage is reasonable, about 25 mpg about town, about 21 is driven hard. Only likes 93 octane and synthetic oil but goes 10,000 miles between oil changes. Only "very expensive" item is the timing belt which I changed at 93,000 miles (manual says 65,000). I have owned car for 12 months and it is a dream to drive no matter what road conditions. I rotate tires seasonally (4 months with snow and mud and 8 months with summer tread) Mine is Nimbus Grey with a Blue leather interior and with minimal care the leather is holding uo very well, the Bose sound system is superb (6 CD changer). I do not use the integrated phone and the Navigational system is not functional at this point (very old school and my cell phone does a nice job filling in! I am very !!!!!!!!! happy with this car and will do all I can to keep it sweet! It is the best car and the most fun I have ever owned and I have owned quite a few at 67. I am especially pleased with the gearing ratio that allowsw me to cruise in 4th or 5th gear at 40mph with no lugging!"

"I bought this car in 2006 with 40K miles on her. Even after 4 years and 40K miles there wasn't a squeak or rattle. In fact, only as the car approached 100K did a few minor rattles begin. For a roadster, Audi has built a very solid car. She is battleship gray with the optional baseball glove interior, which has had more compliments than I can count. It has stood the test of time and still looks brand new...a very durable interior. The car handles very well, is reasonably quicka and sips gas by sports car standards. She's not a Porsche and can't be called "fast", but has plenty of acceleration for American roads. The TT is a very capable car in all kinds of sloppy road conditions and is the perfect New England roadster."

Solid but sluggish

By Pink (WI) on Monday, December 03, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 80,000

Pros: "Comfortable for a 6'4" guy. Great looks and solid"

"Replaced a Miata with this TT. Does not have the fun factor the Miata had. Quality is a little more solid and the finish is quite a bit more refined. Make sure you change timing belt around 70,000 miles. I did and a water pump blade had already cracked"

"ive owned this Audi for some time now. and enjoying the heck out of it. with the driver seat could move back more and my particular model has some kind of setup on the set, where u can move it down and back by holding the handle up and pushing backwards but you have to pull yourself forward... strange. so far loving the car and gas mileage"

"I bought this car used. It was Was carefully maintained with complete records. Make sure instrument panel was replaced- also replace timing chain water pump and tensionier. These tend to break due to plastic components. Amazing drive-love the AWD 225hp power. Great fit and finish-timeless looks. Fast, excellent Audi handling!"
