Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Distinctive styling, cutting-edge interiors, available all-wheel drive, superb optional Bose sound system.
Cons
- Confusing interior controls, engines short on low-end thrust, hefty roadster curb weight limits handling, coupe's useless backseat.
What’s new
Never considered hard-edged performance cars in their respective segments, the stylish 2003 Audi TT coupe and roadster finally offer an automatic transmission -- and a six-speed unit at that. Unfortunately, it's available only on the front-drive, 180-horsepower coupe and roadster. In other news, the quattro version of the 180-hp coupe is no longer offered and the remaining cars get a new front grille and revised exterior badging. Cast-alloy wheel designs have been updated, and, this year, you'll be able to get optional 17-inch all-season tires on all TTs (you could only get summer performance tires in this size previously); 18-inch all-season rubber is available on 225-hp models. Finally, the optional Bose sound system gets AudioPilot technology, which uses volume and tonal adjustments to compensate for outside noise.
Edmunds says
For buyers seeking the ultimate performance sport coupe or roadster, the 2003 Audi TT will likely disappoint. But those willing to give up, say, 12 percent of sheer ability will get back at least 25 percent in pure style.

Fun to Drive, Expensive to Repair
John, 05/17/2016
2003 Audi TT 225hp quattro AWD 2dr Coupe (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
Great little car that is unfortunately over-engineered and very difficult to repair. Even minor repairs may require partial disassembly. Labor charges are high, and since the parts usually must be ordered from Germany, their cost are also high. Expect to spend as much or more on repairs as you spend on the purchase price (for a used TT).

I love my roadster
Linda, 08/13/2016
2003 Audi TT 225hp quattro AWD 2dr Roadster (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
I just bought mine used w/98,000 miles on it. Other than hitting a bear (yes, a bear) not more than 14 miles from home the day I purchased it, I have thoroughly loved my car. It's the perfect "Divorce Revenge"! My car handles beautifully. I trust it! Everything except the inside trunk release works. That's going to be fixed soon. I love the top down or up! It's so fancy, stylish … & with the great gas mileage, I'm enjoying my 2 hour ride into work. I've always wanted a convertible & am not disappointed w/my choice. It's solid, very quiet & drop dead gorgeous. Love the turbo! My warranty is amazing too! The trunk space is very adequate. The seats are ultra comfy. I'm enjoying my 2 hour ride into work now!

It's a tough act to follow
BF100, 01/18/2009
2003 Audi TT 225hp quattro AWD 2dr Roadster (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
Although the first few months of ownership were filled with computer related and dealer repair problems (almost 1 month to get is all working). It is tough to find a replacement vehicle, at this price, that offers the style and design features of the TT Roadster. The Baseball Optic leather seats with dark blue and blue canvas roof and brushed metal hardware are striking and hold up to … wear well. They speak to the high standards of Audi's designers and engineers. The power train and exhaust have been reliable. There is more than enough hp/torque for an everyday vehicle and the all-wheel drive has served when needed. "Keyless" entry occasionally needs reprogramming it eats batteries.

Awesome Performance Lots of Fun
Sharon Huffman, 07/20/2003
2003 Audi TT 225hp quattro AWD 2dr Roadster (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
This car is pure fun! The acceleration
is excellent-especially fun to feel it
open up from second to third! Great
handling in turns, smooth ride, low
noise, great engineering. With the top
down it is also impressive - unlike
some convertibles this car is
engineered with passenger comfort in
mind with the top down. The balance of
air flow is perfect to keep passengers …
comfortable in higher heat or in cooler
weather. Good sound system - but
probably the only thing I would
upgrade. Seats are extremely
comfortable and the visibility is very
good for a convertible. The interior
trim is awesome. Very sleek, fun
vehicle. I have enjoyed every moment!
