Overview & Reviews

For 2001 Audi introduces the TT Roadster, which retains the same interior and chassis as the coupe. Makes sense, as the coupe was designed with the roadster version in mind. There's also a 225-horsepower quattro version for both the coupe and convertible.

• Distinctive styling, cutting-edge interior, optional all-wheel drive.

• Useless back seat in coupe, interior ergonomics take getting used to, lacks low-end grunt.

  Fun Car, Expensive to Maintain - 2001 Audi TT
  By TT - November 29 - 11:30 am

  Great car, fun to drive, looks great, but there have been many repair issues, far more than I would have expected for this level of car.

  Avoid this car. - 2001 Audi TT
  By Disappointed Owner - November 17 - 3:29 pm

  I have owned this car for over three years now. I have replaced or repaired the following: 2 o2 sensors ($750), MAF sensor ($400), timing belt & fuel pump ($600), CV boot X2 ($200), fuel sending unit ($675), both power windows motors ($1050), exhaust manifold ($1400), headlight bulbs X2 ($275), oil leak ($150), vacuum leak ($275), instrument cluster ($900).... there are other repairs I have done.... but just cant recall right now. Add it up, it is about $7000 in repairs. Take my advice, this car is unreliable and normal repairs are very expensive. Avoid this car!!

  A mint condition Audi sports car - 2001 Audi TT
  By CHUCK HUGHES - October 18 - 1:44 pm

  This car is fun to drive with a "turbo" boost. It looks like a new one and drives like one also. New snow tires make this all wheel drive one that goes in the winter unlike some sports cars you need to park for 6 months. Total original miles is 23,400. Garage kept makes it a Beauty!

  Fun Car! - 2001 Audi TT
  By Kris - August 22 - 4:13 pm

  This is a great car. My first convertible. The power roof is easy and quick, I can drop it down or put it up easily at a stop light. I have also had an issue with the squeak/clunky noise that a couple other reviewers noticed but it hasnt caused any major issues. I have had a couple expensive repairs with the water pump and oil gaskets and such. but its been basically very reliable. and its a beautiful car! My favorite is the baseball leather interior, makes the car stand out from all the other black leather-clad interiors of comparable cars.

  Looks great on the flatbed. - 2001 Audi TT
  By TTerrible - June 29 - 2:56 pm

  Problems too numerous to list but Audi 1.8T motors have well known timing belt failure issues that cause major engine damage. Failure typically occurs well before 90,000 service interval. research A4 class action lawsuit. Expensive to buy, insure, maintain and, most of all, repair. Too many computer chips and sensors that fail regularly. I have been left stranded on the roadside twice in 6 months by serious mechanical failures that were expensive to repair. Dont buy one as a primary vehicle. Definitely dont buy one used. Better yet, dont buy one at all. I have owned mine for two years and it has had 5 or 6 significant repairs that required me to drive a loaner or rental car for a few days

  WAY too many maintenance issues - 2001 Audi TT
  By Former TT lover - May 2 - 4:36 pm

  Ive owned this TT since February of 2002, and I would estimate that Ive already had to take it into the dealer to be repaired at least 30 times - and this is not an exaggeration. Its a fun car with good styling but if I had to do it all over again, Id buy a different car. Inflated european repair costs aside, its a royal pain to have to bring this car to the dealership over & over again. There werent many comparable options when I bought my TT...but now that there are, Im planning to sell mine and buy a japanese sports car instead so that I can spend more time driving it and less time leaving it at a repair shop.

  Hot, stylish ride - 2001 Audi TT
  By drandolph - April 26 - 12:34 am

  Ive loved this car since the day I bought it. Cruising through winding mountain roads with the top down can be a thrill or a pleasure depending on the weight of my foot. And to get great gas mileage (30 mpg) is the icing on the cake. Fun, fun, fun.

  Fun but not without issues - 2001 Audi TT
  By Old TT Driver - April 18 - 12:57 am

  Bought my TT in Dec 03 with 39000 miles on it. Quick off the line and handled great but the car was constantly at the dealer. The issues I had: rear trunk lock broke, replaced rear deck lid, window motors replaced twice, turbo failed 5 times, a/c compressor went out twice and entire a/c system replaced-interior panels broke during removal and were replaced. New battery, alternator and O2 sensor. Multiple rattles and car would shake at idle especially when a/c on-dealer could not fix. Glove box broke but not covered under warranty- $900. Brakes under warranty $2000 and timing belt service $1700-found water pump leaking. Just got rid of because assured warranty up.

  TT Roadster - 2001 Audi TT
  By TT Roadster - March 25 - 10:13 am

  I went from a 1992 BMW 318I convertable to the Audi TT. My wife and I were in the market for a sport convertable and we fell in love with the ride, performance and just plain fun of driving this car. The car has been very reliable and trouble free. I will definitely buy another one when its time to replace this car.

  Love my TT - 2001 Audi TT
  By jillysue - March 3 - 3:33 pm

  This is the most fun I have had driving, ever. I look forward to an hour commute back and forth to work when I can drive the Audi. The handling is exceptional. I never have a worry.
