2009 Audi TT 2.0T quattro 2dr Hatchback AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)

Review

This car loves corners. It is fun to drive and makes my commute to work enjoyable. I decided on the Audi over Porsche, BMW, Lexus, Infiniti and have enjoyed the decision daily. Consistently surprised at how quickly I get up to traffic speed with torque to spare when I want to pass someone. Brakes are quick to engage without being too grippy. My wife and I had no plans to take our girls in it, but they love it. Lots of fun to drop off at school surrounded by monster SUVs and minivans. Booster shopping was a challenge. For as small and low as the car is, there has not been a grocery or Costco run it has not yet been able to handle. Thoroughly enjoying my mid-life crisis mobile.

Favorite Features

Quattro: great cornering, holds the road with no tire noise. Sport mode: won't shift until it hits redline, and great throttle growl Interior: luxury car feel inside (enhanced leather package). Steering wheel: good feel, like the flat bottom.

Suggested Improvements

Door swing: I have to open the door wide to easily get in and out, requiring a little more hunting for the best parking spot. Bluetooth: Connects easily, others complain about difficulty hearing me through it. Small item storage: two cupholders does not give enough space for small items.

Review

You can have the BMW's and the Cayman, this is one outstanding car. It may not have the tooth jarring aspects of a raw sports car but it is a perfect combination of luxury and performance. The build quality is typical Audi and even with the 2.0 the torque and power is more than enough. Traded an '03 FWD TT for this one and I couldn't be happier with the styling, performance and Quattro. It is a real head turner and so fun to drive especially with the paddle shifters which can be used at any time in any mode. It's just a great car.

Favorite Features

Power seats, Bi-Xenon headlamps, full leather option.

Suggested Improvements

Audi should find a way to offer a Sunroof in the TT.

Review

The TT provides a great balance of performance, handling, safety and economy. The power is more than adequate, particularly considering the great low end torque. The S-Tronic transmission is a super design - I use it as an automatic around town and switch to the paddle shifters for spirited driving on the twisties. I've averaged 28 mpg overall and seen 34 mpg on trips. The quattro AWD is smooth and effective in snow. The fun-to-drive factor is way high. The build quality and interior and exterior materials are excellent. This car brings a smile every time I get behind the wheel.

Favorite Features

Interior and exterior styling, superb engine and transmission. Good fuel economy.

Suggested Improvements

I'd like to see a sun roof option.

2009 Audi TT 2.0T 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)

Review

Knew 2009 was my year for getting a convertible. Researched a number of different types from Miata to 350Z and finally Audi. Although I liked the Miata, wanted a little more and was deciding between the Z and Audi. Two major drawbacks to conisder on the Z: 1) Poor interior quality and look for what you are spending; 2) Horrible fuel economy. The Z seems to be perfect for brute power in a nice package. After spending the day test driving the Audi, decision was clear. For about the same price, the Audi delivers beauty, responsiveness, kuxury interior!! Top or down, awesome car to drive!! Also, there aren't as many on the road so you don't just blend into the sea of cars. Check it out.

Favorite Features

Style, interior quality, feel of the car

Suggested Improvements

Throw in a few more small things like standard cargo netting..c'mon Audi!
