This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Distinctive styling, cutting-edge interiors, available all-wheel drive, superb optional Bose sound system.
Cons:

  • more than expected - 2003 Audi TT
    By -

    traveling 1400 miles seemed like nothing. the ride, enjoyment and ease of driving made the "road trip" melt to a simple around the block cruse. averaging 80+ mph and 35 mpg is not your average sport car trip, not to mention the comfort and ease of driving. Z who? I had one. This car has style, and is an original. Like the original Z it sets the trend and others follow. sure other sport cars have more power, but none have more syle, comfort and originality. Read all the magizines comparisons you want. I will take my TT anyday over the competion. Ill be driving while they pump gas.

  • TT Times 2 - 2003 Audi TT
    By -

    My second TT (the first a 180HP coupe) has taken the fun up another notch. The 225 hp 1.8 liter coupled with the 6-speed is a huge improvement in capability. Both of my TTs were Quattro-equipped and I wouldnt have it any other way - the stability of the car on the road is never in question. The ESP makes cutting loose on gravel much more enjoyable since it keeps the nose pointed where you steer it. I recommend a switch to all- season tires from the factory performance treads if you live near snow. Otherwise, I wouldnt change a thing! Ive never enjoyed driving more...thats even including my younger days driving Triumph ragtops.

  • TIME FOR AUDI - 2003 Audi TT
    By -

    Since I bought my TT back in February 2002 I have had nothing but pure fun. Every time We are in the car we get lots of attention. People here in Hawaii still point whenever we pass by. Although I think it should have more horsepower, everything else about this car is just great. I feel like Ive been driving this car all my life.

  • The Mother of all Sports Coupes - 2003 Audi TT
    By -

    This car has been out since 2000, and it still turns heads. It has a great engine sound. The car is very fast. It might not beat a 350z or GS Coupe 6MT, but its styling and build quality blow away any similarly priced sport coupe. The seats are firm. The gears are short and easy to find. The turbo lag is negligible. The quattro handling is like nothing youve ever experienced. One would have to be very reckless and make many mistakes to get into trouble with this car. The car is solidly built and can be driven every day.

  • Best car purchase Ive ever made! - 2003 Audi TT
    By -

    I first saw the Audi TT concept car in an auto magazine in 1995 and thought it was just another concept car that was exactly what I wanted, but would never make it to market. Happily, I was wrong! It’s now a year after I purchased my 225 HP Quattro TT Roadster, and I still get the same thrill driving it I did the day I took it home. Let me add by saying that driving the TT at dusk with the top down is about as close to automotive heaven as I have ever come. And, you’ll definitely turn several heads with this car. The styling has turned more then a few heads and the baseball glove interior is also a conversation piece at social get- togethers.

  • hot looks, with a real soul - 2003 Audi TT
    By -

    watch out for the first and second gear shifts, it needs to be tightened up. also make sure the seats are adjusted properly to your liking before you drive. seat adjustments are manual. once you kick into third gear, it is quick as lightning and the handling is great. also watch your head when entering. otherwise, it is an awesome, eye catching performance sports coupe.

  • My second TT - 2003 Audi TT
    By -

    When the lease ended on my 180hp 2000 TT, I wanted a change, so I headed to the dealerships to find a replacement. The Infiniti G35 felt more like a Cadillac than a sports car, and understeered at 25MPH on a corner that I take daily in the TT at 35. The Porshe Boxter was faster, the BMW330 and Mercedes CLK a smoother ride, but somehow none gave me the smile that the TT has for 3 years. Im now the proud owner of a 2003 225Hp TTQ. Turbo lag is more pronounced than it was on the 180Hp, but the extra 45 horses are a welcome addition. It still turns heads, and the interior fits like a glove it couldnt feel more natural or comfortable to drive.

    Have had my TT for nearly 2 years. The car has been outstanding.. Styling, quality, performance and still turns heads. Only mechanical problem was a defective turbo replaced at 3,000 miles.
