2005 Audi TT 250hp quattro AWD 2dr Hatchback (3.2L 6cyl 6AM)

Review

This my first Audi vehicle I decided to go with the TT . For in one simple word, economy. Fuel prices are outragous out here these days. And the large vehicle I had replaced it with was costing about $138.00 at each fill-up. Every single week. Also I wanted something in a 2 seater with a four cylinder, but with the turbo I still get the punch needed to get past those tractor trailers on I-95. Since it's my daily driver, I dont even mind those $48.00 fuel-ups. Yes, one unforseen expense, she goes thru high performance tires a lot, mostly in the right rear and the front right also. Overall its been a good expirience.

Favorite Features

The exterior body design is something I've received many comments, on its great looks. The interior is actually very spacious once you've become used to it.

Suggested Improvements

One most important improvement, more power, 225 is somehow not enough for a car that weights 3600 lbs. The horsepower could be increased without sacrificing everyday reliability.

TT Envy

Vehicle

2005 Audi TT 180hp Fwd 2dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

Review

It took three years to decide to buy and so far, so good. The TT is incredibly fun to drive. It's speedy, but more of a cruiser than a bruiser. Style is the selling point.

Favorite Features

Interior and exterior styling. Xenon headlights. Comfortable seats. Size (can park it anywhere).

Suggested Improvements

Bose stereo only so-so; outer seat edge catches belt, etc., when entering and exiting; make trunk cargo net standard. Steering wheel controls for stereo.

Review

I have owned my 3.2 TT for 15 months and have driven over 20,000 miles with it. The best thing is I'm stationed in Germanny with the US Army and as we all know there are no speed limits on the German autobahns! I purchased a european spec model because I wanted to insure the motor could take the sustained high speeds. I'm here to tell you that the TT is a great car to drive especially when you like to drive 130-150 MPH for miles and miles. I've had no problems with the car and love to get in and drive as fast as I want on the autobahns. The car handles like a dream at speeds over 130 MPH.

Favorite Features

3.2 250 HP! All wheel drive and handling. 6 speed is great for the sport car feeling on mountain roads.

Suggested Improvements

The only thing I would improve is the braking.

Audi TT

2005 Audi TT 180hp Fwd 2dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

Review

This car makes me smile every day at 4:30 when I get to drive it home. It is a wonderful car, zippy and gets 30 miles to a gallon and at 3.10 a gallon that is a huge plus. Have only taken it on one road trip where we zipped along at 75-80 and the ride was fairly smooth, but when you hit a bump or a pot hole you knew it. There is plenty of room for all my stuff if I fold the rear seats down. The sound system is awesome. I shopped for this car for months trying to decide which sports coupe was right for me and I am sure I made the right decision.

Favorite Features

Sound System and climate control.

Suggested Improvements

The cup holders could be moved a little further to the front.

Review

I would never consider myself a car fanatic but I couldn´t help but to fall in love with the sleek, sexy, TT. I just bought one and I drive it to make long commutes along the California highways. I honestly smile every time I see it. Driving it is a real pleasure. I am so crazy about it to the point that my husband jokingly asked me just not to start praying to it! :D

Favorite Features

Its design

My third TT is my "best buy."

2005 Audi TT 250hp quattro AWD 2dr Hatchback (3.2L 6cyl 6AM)

Review

This certified 2004 250 3.2 TT with DSG is my best buy. Price was right and warranty is for 5 more years and up to 100,000 miles. The DSG is perfect for my commute which includes the I-80 "parking lot" in Berkeley. Acceleration is brisk and fuel economy is good. My first TT was a silver 2000 180 TTQC. My second TT was a silver 2002 225 TTQC. It was a fine car,my bad left knee just got tired of shifting on my commute. This 3.2 TTQC with DSG is perfect for my present needs. I love the interior and exterior design of the Audi TT. Since I do not like the shield grille design change Audi is making on new models, I am pleased to own one of the original design models. Certified makes sense.

Favorite Features

The Bauhaus purity of the orginal Freman Thomas design, both exterior and interior.

Suggested Improvements

Making the 18" 9 spoke RS4 style alloy wheels standard, but with 225/45x18" tires and an odometer calibrated to match. (More sidewall depth on tires for Governor Ahnold's potholed roads.)

Couldn't be happier with my Roadster!

2005 Audi TT 180hp Fwd 2dr Roadster (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

Review

great vehicle - had a tough time finding the color combo (white & navy blue) I wanted here on the east coast (they stopped making the white ...so I had to search the country for a 'leftover' in 2004). Have been VERY pleased with performance, reliability, appearance. I bought it as a second/fun car, but I find I use it ALL the time (leaving my Mercedes SUV sitting in the garage most days)!

Favorite Features

design, appearance, comfort and the feel that I am not sitting (vulnerably) in a tiny or unsafe convertible.

Suggested Improvements

because of the size & design of the vehicle, there are significant and serious blind spots. I purchased small mirrors that affix to the existing side view mirrors. Perhaps Audi should make these additional 'blind spot mirrors' a standard feature (they cost me only $3.49 each) on future Roadsters.

TT is a GREAT car

2005 Audi TT 225hp quattro AWD 2dr Roadster (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

Review

I'm 6' 6", 245lbs., when a friend suggested I try a TT, I couldnt believe I could fit in it! I had a Cadillac Seville STS, and the TT has the same amount of legroom. The handling is incredible, and it's no slouch when it comes to performance. I have beaten my share of Porsche Boxster S's. I have gone through a set of tires. I've taken the car on the track at Talledega, and it is a joy to drive. I have not had any mechanical or body problems with the car.

Favorite Features

The interior design is impressive. The car is built very well.

Suggested Improvements

A little more leg room would be great, but its a sports car.

Review

This Audi TT has exceeded my expectations in all aspects. It is fun and easy to drive, I was not looking for a super high performance Porsche 911. The quality of the interior work is flawless, fantastic leather seating along with really innovative styling. In my opinion it is designed in a true roadster style, it is not meant for a family vehicle. There is enough room for my wife and I to each pack a bag and go away for the weekend. I started to use the TT as my daily commute, not my original intent, it was just to be a weekend fun car. I have Ocean Blue with the Vanilla interior, what a great combination. It also has heated seats, CD changer, homelink and xenon headlights.
