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.

  TT Quattro Coupe - 2001 Audi TT
  By 2 Dr. quatto Turbo A - February 9 - 3:19 am

  This is the most wonderful car on the road. It rates, to me, first class in everything. Drive one for yourself. The price is worth the car. I constantly have strangers come up to me and ask what kind of car it is.

  Looks Looks Looks !!! - 2001 Audi TT
  By Genco - January 19 - 7:14 pm

  I purchased this car about 6 months ago Certified Used and i LOVE it ! The best part is that you are driving a car that is great looking and very rare so people look at you and your car and they dont know what kind it is and admire. Superb handling, good performance (not an M3), do 100 mph and you wont notice it.

  Major repair every 4 months - 2001 Audi TT
  By stan - November 2 - 1:29 am

  A very comfortable and fun car to drive, but the most unreliable car Ive owned since the 48 Dodge pickup that I bought for $50 in 1973. A lot of the problems were with the turbo system, but also had both cooling fans, catalytic converter, wiring harness in door, instrument cluster, fuel sensors in tank all replaced before the car had 50,000 miles. I purchased this car new and it was never wrecked.

  Fun car - 2001 Audi TT
  By Red TT owner - October 15 - 1:31 pm

  This is a fun car to own and drive, it attracts attention where ever you drive it. The handling with the AWD is exciting on backroads.

  Once you go German, you never go back... - 2001 Audi TT
  By Matt - October 5 - 4:45 pm

  I think this story sums it up. I was recently getting lunch at a deli shortly after I washed and waxed my TT when I heard a gentleman behind me say to his friend, "Did you see that Audi out there, what a sweet car." It suffers from turbo lag, but once out of first, its not noticeable. I live in Colorado, so the AWD is a nice feature for a roadster. It also has plenty of power over the mountain passes and is a constant head turner. A fantastic car!

  Avoid Audis! - 2001 Audi TT
  By insyte - June 24 - 4:33 pm

  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 -- Audis "Customer Advocates" are powerless to help, even though they agree that it is improbable that I caused the damage.

  Solid and fun but wont satisfy purists - 2001 Audi TT
  By Derek - June 19 - 7:36 pm

  Car feels incredibly solid and tank-like. This and other heavy hardware make for a heavy car. Handling is tight but understeers too much and doesnt transmit enough feel, same can be said for the steering and brakes. The engine is a mixed bag... truly fantastic midrange power from 2200-5500rpm, but gutless outside of that range when the turbo is not at full boost at low rpm and inefficient at high rpm, also MUCH less power in hot weather - not a true sports car engine really. Great gas mileage, 30mpg sometimes, averaging 25mpg. Interior is very nice, but no standard CD player and the seatbelts are very hard to reach. Overall a solid car thats fun to about 80% of its potential.

  TT Has Been a Super Car - 2001 Audi TT
  By S Stangl - April 14 - 1:14 pm

  I have had my TT since 2001, and still love to drive it. The styling still gets nods of approval from people in the street, the styling really is unique. Overall I have been happy with the car, it does have a few interior squeaks here and there, and some minor electrical issues occurred, but its a very solid car.

  Great car! 225 hp prob. better choice - 2001 Audi TT
  By 01 roadster covt 1.8 - April 9 - 2:47 pm

  I love my Audi TT drives smooth, you only have to have maintenance every 10k miles There is one problem that upsets me about the car, it seems there is something loose on the driver side. When you hit lets say a pot hole or something or even just cruising its like a creaking sound very annoying. Overall excellent car, its a head turner, Especially with the top down, its quick and reliable. Oh I wish there was an in-dash cd (would make life a little easier.) Other than that LOVE IT!!!!

  Solid, great all-around car! - 2001 Audi TT
  By Cardude - February 17 - 5:36 pm

  Pros: Power 2200-5800 rpm, tight handling, killer brakes, gorgeous style, solid feel, safe, AWD, flashing brights back at people who think HIDs are high-beams. Cons: Less balanced than a Boxster, loses power 6000+ rpm, limited visibility, rain water on rear window, no CD player standard in a $38000 car, cupholder placement (all these are niggles). MountainScott, the car is a single turbo NOT a twin-turbo. TT does not stand for twin turbo. "Go in knowing what youre getting," as you say.
