This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Distinctive styling, cutting-edge interior, optional all-wheel drive.
Cons:
  • Useless back seat in coupe, interior ergonomics take getting used to, lacks low-end grunt.

    The TT is not the most extreme performer in its class, but it does more things well at once than any competitor. It can keep up with 99% of sports cars on the tight twisties, but it is also a pleasure to drive for hundreds of miles and many hours on end. It is also the only car in its class that is likely to end up in an art museum for its design alone. Put this all together and no other car comes close.

    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.

  • Fun car, but more rattles than a maraca - 2001 Audi TT
    By -

    I loved, absolutely loved my Audi TT. Great ride, handled beautifully, absolutely WONDERFUL performance with the 225 HP 1.8T - I never had a moment where I wished the car had MORE power. Grip was wonderful in the snow, the interior design was absolutely classic. However, I eventually had to sell it due to just too many recurring rattles that made it feel like you were driving a vehicle much cheaper than you were.

    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. Its like the car took over. Turtle and I survived.

    Constant problems with electrical components. Both door rattle like they are half open. Losing 1 quart of oil every 100 miles, new engine at 20K. Transmission has been grinding in secand gear for 2 years (they said there was nothing wrong with it), and it tore itself apart at 30K. They will not honor the warrenty because one of their techs said he knows I race the car (this is a blatant lie). Audi personnel have put over 700 miles on the car. They want $9000 for the new trans and $2000 to install it. The car has depreciated 50% in 3 years and is now "totalled" (trans is over half the value of the car) with 2 years of $850 payments left on it.

    This is a fun car. I dont know what people are complaining about--its a sports car. Its small! Its not a Caddy. Its going to be hard to get into. My big problem in 15000 miles is a seat belt that catches and squeeking windshield wipers, both fixed immediately. My dealer, Premier Motors in Albuquerque, has been terriffic. No problems with their service at all. Im very happy with my TT. I wouldnt trade it for anyting else.

    First off, this is my second TT. My first, was a Black 225 Coupe. I loved it. I drove it 50K miles in the first year and sold it to buy the Roadster. I was able to find a leftover 2001 225 in silver. I have since dropped the car an inch using Eibach Springs and added 18" wheels. I have also installed an Alpine Head Unit featuring XM radio. I have not had any issues with the car. It is solid and fun to drive. Its looks are unique and striking. Kudos to Audi!

    While it isnt a Porsche, its a great sports car. And living in the Midwest I love it in the winter...with winter snow tires Ive never had a problem with snow its as sure footed as a mountain goat. With Z rated summer tires its more fun to drive than anything Ive been in before.

    This car was and continues to be a real head turner. Extremely fun to drive. A very sure-footed ride that hugs the curves.
