2001 Audi TT 225 1.8 turbo petrol

Summary:

Do yourself a favour, buy something else

Faults:

Riddled with faults, which included:

Clutch pedal fell off while driving.

Oil sensor failed.

ABS sensor failed.

Bose head unit failed twice (number 3 faulty when sold).

Washer motor failed.

Indicators failed.

Instrument panel failed (1000 quid to fix).

Anti-roll bars had to be replaced.

Back springs both snapped; had to be replaced.

M.A.F failed.

All 4 coil packs replaced.

Windows rolled down on their own (never fixed).

Thermostat failed.

In the end it really was a case of 'OH S**T WHAT NEXT'.

I owned this car for 6 years and I did enjoy driving it. But I have to admit the day I traded it in, I celebrated.

General Comments:

Second to none interior build quality, iconic looks, excellent BOSE sound system (when it worked properly), and excellent road holding.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

2001 Audi TT 225 coupe 1.8 turbo

Summary:

Really attracts ladies

Faults:

Petrol meter is not always right.

General Comments:

The Audi TT is a great car.

Great for looks, style and handling.

I have owned an M3 before and prefer the TT.

The TT is one of two, four wheel drive convertables on the road.

I'm only 19 and have owned some of the fastest road cars under the £60k bracket, but the TT has to be the best of them all.

I have tried so hard to get the car to spin off the road in the low gears, but finding it rather hard thanks to the four wheel drive.

My 1998 BMW M3 EVO used to spin off at every tight corner, and is not that eye catching to the public.

I think the Mondeo driver needs to wake up.

If you had ever owned or driven both an M3 and TT, or if you could actually drive properly, you would never prefer a TT to an M3. Hmmm... let me think, driver dependent, perfectly balanced RWD sports saloon, or electrickery ridden 4WD poseur-mobile?? Which would appeal to any driving enthusiast more???

2001 Audi TT Coupe 1.8 turbo 180 BHp

Summary:

Built Like A Car Should Be Only Smaller!

Faults:

Drivers window do not always close.

General Comments:

A great tourer.

A very safe and secure ride.

Excellent build quality.

Still a good looking car that attracts attention.

Good performance when you need it.

The rear seats are a waste of time.

Space is very limited, even for a short weekend break.

I feel that it is now a bit of a has been.
