No major problems, car is 2 years old, with 15000. Wipers have been replaced 3 times and dealer repalced windshield as wipers scratched window. Slight grind shifting into 3rd, dealer claims is normal? Water gts into door sill when washed, dealer also calims is normal. Fun to drive and no mechanical issues other than transmission shift into 3rd gear.

I flew to Buffalo N.Y to purchase this vehicle. I was Was not looking forward to the drive home to Clearwater FL.Boy was I wrong. Fun to drive, excellent gas mileage (32)Excellent handling. cool cruiser. Coming home one afternoon seconds ahead of me I noticed a large turtle at 40 MPH. I turn the wheel "slalom like" going off into the wet grass. coming back on the same way.Thiscar was possessed. With the Quattro all wheel drive/EDL,car was back on course in seconds. I almost wet myself. It did thtings in that 1.2 seconds I never experienced before. It's like the car took over. Turtle and I survived.

Avoid Audis!

I own a 2001 TT Roadster convertible. Nothing but problems: failed transaxle, water leaks and rattles, performance problems, failed instrument cluster -- all with less than 23,000 miles!! Audi has not been helpful in resolving out-of-warranty problems. For instance, discovered at 22,000 miles -- due to severely abnormal tire wear -- that rear axle was bent when installed at the factory. Audi insists that damage due to "external factors," but dealer admits it takes a serious impact to bend the axle -- which has never happened in my possession. Out of warranty -- Audi's "Customer Advocates" are powerless to help, even though they agree that it is improbable that I caused the damage.

Fun to drive, handles nicely. But problems problem problems. Too cost conscious in engineering - will never buy Audi again. Stuff that should not happen at below 35,000 miles, and don't happen to my Benz with 120,000 miles! Too many problems to list - bearings, turbo, brake disks, joint boots, instrument panel, rain leaks frying electronics, O2 sensor, all at less than 35k miles! And I'm told by one of my mechanics it's one of the less troublesome recent Audis!

I have about 110k on this car now, had several problems, the most serious being the instrument cluster (not covered by Audi) also the rear window melted away from the soft-top with no obvious way to glue it back on. The TT is a good looking car, comfortable and fun to drive with that unique Audi look but with the experience I've had together with the type of problems I've had I won't be buying another Audi.
