2000 Audi TT 225 Roadster Quattro review from North America

The engine computer malfunctioned. Under hard acceleration the engine would drop down to almost idle. Dealer and I first thought the turbo was bad and that was replaced twice. Finally the dealer suspected the computer, replaced it and all is well.

I have had several electrical hiccups. Sometimes the interior lights don't shut off. Other times the electronic door locks don't work. Not sure what triggers this nor am I sure what makes it go away!

A few more rattles than I'd expect in a $40k car, but I've never owned a convertible before.

This is really a great car. Fast, excellent handling, good gas mileage. I drive it every day, even in the snow. The quattro system with winter tires enables it to go anywhere.

Outside visibility, especially when changing lanes on the highway, is limited when the roof is up.

Stereo, ergonomics, style, all combine to make this a wonderful car. My lease runs out this summer and I'll most likely lease a new one.

Had a chance to drive one in Germany. Less powerful than the one I own, but still cranked along at 150 MPH. Very nice!

With the roof down all is perfect in the world!
