2001 Audi TT Quattro review from North America
"Despite the fact that it is bankrupting me, I honestly love it more than any car I've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing belt slipped at 83,000 miles; engine destroyed according to dealer service department resulting in a $9,200 new engine repair bill.
Cracked brake fluid reservoir and cooling fan assembly relpaced at 83,000 miles.
Rear Brake light relay failed at 79,000 miles and was replaced.
Pollen filter, ball joints (?) headlight assembly on driver's side all replaced at 78,000 miles.
General comments?
This car drives like a dream.
Quick acceleration.
Smooth transmission changes.
Feels very stable in the corners.
Instrumentation looks great and is well placed.
The trunk has much greater capacity than you might expect.
