2 months in. - The car handles amazing on the road - Instruments work fine so far - The gearbox. Dear, oh dear. The DSG started to get hissy after about a week. On warm engine I couldn't start moving smoothly (from a standstill) - car would hop like a kangaroo. Cost me quite a bit to repair, but now it's as smooth as it can get. - Engine is a beast. Even for a 200 HP ride it picks up the pace really nice. I have a mysterious ABT Tuning Corp. logo on the back of the car, even though the car is supposedly vanilla.
I have a misano red Audi TT 8J 2.0 from 2006 since 2015 and I love this car. If you want to buy it, buy it as a manual. It's really fun to drive. My Cupra Ateca has more Power but man this Audi is a Sportcoupe. And it drives like that!
I have the older model, and I LOVE it. The TT Quattro is really a fun car to own and drive and the gas mileage is quite astonashing.. 5 stars from Texas
I definitely am concerned that Top Gear is significantly better than this show. But the car in fact is just amazing. To be honest the old TT was the only audi since single frame grilles appeared which didn't appeal to me. Now it's over for sure! Astonishing!
exactly like how everyone raves about the ford gt but the wheels are german, the brakes are italian, the gearbox is british, the body is british, and the steering comes from an Aston martin Vanquish(british), and the chasis was set up by lotus(british/malaysian)....americas best car is as american as the national anthem (which is british by the way)
2005 Kawasaki ZX-10r, Used $8,000. 0 - 60 in 3.1 sec. Top speed with pwr commander and full pipe, 197mph. Blah, spend your thousands get American and European cars to barely break a 4.5 0 - 60. I'll stick the two wheels. And BTW, the new Audi TT is far nicer than any American sports-car (of the same price) this year. Cheers!
that thing seriously looks nice. That last shot of the car is just great. I saw one the other day driving, but it was a dark gray. And everyone on the side walks and in the cars next to me where turning there heads. Great car.
i HAVE A 2003 132 kw TT and it is a beautifully built car that does everything I ask and gives great fuel economy too. It understeers and therefore if you need pointability then you won't be completely happy. But I am and I have a clubman as well. I drove the new TT and it has too light steering and you prefer the new look or don't. interior less classic. But hey...if you buy the new one, it goes better and if you never had the old you'll be impressed. To beat them you have to spend a lot more.
I ordered mine last November and collected it last week. I don't know if anyone else had this problem but I found it hard to decide upon the interior colour. I wanted the Phantom Black but the cream interior with carpets was too easy to dirty imo. I didn't like the chav Red, so I ordered Cream with black carpet and they made it happen. sweet for Audi to do that.
My Mazda 3 had broke. down 3 times in 2.5 years, which was enough, so I sold it. Nissans are currently made to last 5 - 6 years. I'd take Mitsubishi or Toyota. Although I heard a lot of bad things about Toyota recently too.
shark260486, I tested it yesterday; I am 1.90m and had lots of space left, so 2.00m should not be any problem. Great car! DSG is awesome, very well made.
Most cars Audi makes are available with Quattro. Yes, there are FWD versions of the TT, A3, and A4, but you can also get them in Quattro. Otherwise for the USA market, all other Audi cars have Quattro standard.
You should know, the audi tt actually has a better interior than the R8. I litterally steped out of the R8 into the new TT, and it was clearly better. the R8 is a blend of old and new design, but its clearly up to the buyer to crankup for x-tra options to get it up to speed. and unfortunately it looks like a watered down version of its concept predicesors. the tt though just works, but i wish it didnt get bigger. its lost its sexy edge.
350Z might be nice in the corners when driving very careful, but too far and you'll loose the rear and your rear tires. Audi's have superiour traction control, you can brake, accelerate, clutch-kick whatever you want in the corners. The car won't spin at all.
I nabbed a 2002 TT last year for 20k AUD, bargain! 2002(8N) TT Quattro, 6 speed, originally the 225 hp model but custom ECU bumps it to 195kW (265hp) and anyone that's driven it as well as other TT's says it feels like a different car. Plenty more to like about it, the body looks low but has a lot more clearance than people realize. I've even taken it out in the dirt and mud and slid around for a bit of fun, not many coupes you can do that with. That being said, I don't like the new TT...
Nodding heads while shifting gears XD lol. Those back seats remind me of the porsche 944's back seats, except those seats on the audi look more like a luggage compartment.
I couldnt tell you the 0 - 100. But i own a 2.0T TT. I've driven the 3.2 TT and have to say it makes a better noise. Having said that Im not sure that the extra cash is warranted for the V6 because it doesnt feel that much faster. However it does have 4 wheel drive so if you want an extra 50 bhp and better traction in the rain then go for the V6.
the old one was a 1.8T, the NEW one is a 2.0TFSI, and the new model (besides the V6) is not available with all wheel drive, but it is certainly going to be. so how can you have a 2.0Tfsi with 4 by 4?
no not true read up on it there was only 1 ever made! if u find some one claiming to have a sledge, its just their heavily modified vette....and isnt considered to be a sledge no matter if it has the exact same parts on it
I own a 2.0 turbo manual trans. and once it reached 280 km/hr at sea level 24°c. So impressive 4 me, as you know Mexico´s highways are no the best lol...
i agree, mines from germany, made in germany 80k miles and not even had to replace a headlamp yet bobo's friend must not know how to take care of his car
im not disputing that...i saying there is so much more to a bugatti than just the speed and thats what people are loosing sight of, im sure that if u stripped out all the stuff not used to go fast, that it could do 0-200 in less than the henesseys 20.3
@KaranChhajta Just get this one, the newer one will have its own set of flaws... Youll need to wait for the 2nd version of the newer car which means 2-3 years from now...
YEA u tell em' I feel ashamed to be from america were we make crappy cars that r only good for going in a straight line (nd arent even the best at it lol) love european cars I have a Porsche GT3...nd it way better then ANY american car
here's a link if you guys dont belive me! only 7 in denmark may drive on the road! its imposible to get them in cuz the motor is to big and all that so im luckey i got 1!
Dude, I just changed oil on one last week and it was a 1.8t TT quatro roadster " convertible. I don't know where you're from, but here in the US we have those....a lot. So check your sorces better, or should I send you a picture?
indeed looks a little like a beetle, that already with the earlier tt. Not rubbish though mate,, im mos def getting the older tt, they go around cheap nowadays.
RWD is very hard to drive at the limit- it's called oversteer. In the hands of a normal driver with AWD, the AWD car would beat the RWD car hands down. In the hands of a pro, skilled driver, the RWD car would most likely always win.
German POS? You were the one that seemed to like BMW in the beginning. People also buy Audis knowing what they want. Heard of Quattro? I know quite a few people who wouldn't have anything BUT an Audi because of Quattro, top notch interiors, and driving excitement. All three of those are things Lexus CANNOT match.
You're contradicting yourself on so many levels. All German cars are expensive to maintain. Audi, BMW, VW, it doesn't matter. The new M3 weights 3700 pounds. I don't see you complaining. Most all modern cars are overweight in some way- It's called safety regulations. In the hands of a regular driver, the RS4 would beat the M3 on the track. You have to be skilled to achieve the M3's best times.
and all i said was it still doesnt compare, 1 there was only 1 sledgehammer made, it doesnt look as nice as the buggatti, it doesnt handle as well, its 12yrs older, the bugattis gets to 254in 40seconds back to 0 in 20, try that in the sledge
and id rather a ferrari with a neutron accelerator, but you know what? they're different cars, different class, engine size and price, so why even touch your keyboard to compare?
Actually didn't mind that review. Fifth Gear seem to be best at doing reviews that aren't too serious and settle down but dont try to be funny. More informative than Top Gear I think too. When Fifth Gear stop trying to copy Top Gear they could well have something. That said this guy doesn't have much credibility and therefore probably shouldn't be doing it.
I just bought a 2007 Audi TT with a 2.0 TFSI engine. 200 HP. Will report back in a few months or years.
im waiting for the report
2 months in.

me too the Mk1 2006 225hp fast as I want a car and handles like it is on rails, quattro 6 speed manual, reliable as hell, I love it

picking mine up tomorrow. Silver 2.0T with red leather. its AWESOME
i love my TT, cant wait to get a new one just with audi's were a bit wider and lower overall height and to the ground

That being said, I don't like the new TT...
No, only the V6 engined ones (And the brand new 5 cylinder RS) are 4WD, the 4 cylinder units are FWD...
Conversely, while I agree Top Gear is more fun, it's nice to have another opinion.
Knowing the way American cars are, get the 3.2L TT with 4wd and DSG and it'd probably be a fair fight.
i like the look of the older ones better i think. like 1998-2005
it makes an awesome sound
Neat little Ride, wonder when it will be available in Asia
i go to the dealer about once every 4-5 months to get my oil changed, in the 3 years ive had mine, ive only had to replace a wiper blade,
Audi TT were differently made in Oct of 2007 for the USA and given an 2008 serial number but they were made and here in 2007 I OWN ON
Nodding heads while shifting gears XD lol. Those back seats remind me of the porsche 944's back seats, except those seats on the audi look more like a luggage compartment.
I drove one of these and it's quite similar to the scirocco.

my boyfriend has just bought an audi tt.....it's just amazing....and damn hot!!!

I'm looking at getting one.. but a lot of people tell me the older ones (2000-2004?) are TINY compared to the newer ones. I need opinions..
I would prefer to buy the R8 but the TT is a better deal. Great car though.
I've bought the 2.0L with the S-tronic and its every bit as good as he said :))
I own a 2.0 turbo manual trans. and once it reached 280 km/hr at sea level 24°c. So impressive 4 me, as you know Mexico´s highways are no the best lol...
i agree, mines from germany, made in germany 80k miles and not even had to replace a headlamp yet bobo's friend must not know how to take care of his car
top gear is much more fun but theres more information in fifth gear
but i prefer top gear :)
im not disputing that...i saying there is so much more to a bugatti than just the speed and thats what people are loosing sight of, im sure that if u stripped out all the stuff not used to go fast, that it could do 0-200 in less than the henesseys 20.3
Toyota has made anything sporty or fun to drive for a while now. Fact.
@KaranChhajta Just get this one, the newer one will have its own set of flaws... Youll need to wait for the 2nd version of the newer car which means 2-3 years from now...
Oh well, i suppose i stand corrected, although i'm pretty sure it ain't standard on the smaller engined ones? Is it? Cuz the tested one here is FWD...
YEA u tell em' I feel ashamed to be from america were we make crappy cars that r only good for going in a straight line (nd arent even the best at it lol) love european cars I have a Porsche GT3...nd it way better then ANY american car
here's a link if you guys dont belive me! only 7 in denmark may drive on the road! its imposible to get them in cuz the motor is to big and all that so im luckey i got 1!
Oh well, i suppose i stand corrected, although i'm pretty sure it ain't standard on the smaller engined ones? Is it?
Dude, can you explain how that is possible? Why would the S Line not be compatible with the magnetic ride??
Great car !With a stage I revo,really kicks a lot off ass cars...
Yeah I think we get the point by now.
(TOM FORD) it’s in 10th of june
That definitely isn't true. I absolutely love BMWs as well as Audis. Strokes for different folks.
I got an A3 but im lookin forward to this one.. Pretty funny. But in black phantom. ;)
92% of the technology on that car was developed at NASA.
hmm.. isnt the mag ride sourced form chevy?
Jason Wang yes and it's rubbish. I swapped mine with normal shocks and a module from kw to stop the annoying error message
Great car!
True, but they're looking for a car as an appliance, nothing else.
Dude, I just changed oil on one last week and it was a 1.8t TT quatro roadster " convertible. I don't know where you're from, but here in the US we have those....a lot. So check your sorces better, or should I send you a picture?
Oh really...and where exactly did you get those numbers from??
u should get none of them,
dont wanna be rude but
what is ur spending budget??
I WANT THIS CAR!!!
indeed looks a little like a beetle, that already with the earlier tt. Not rubbish though mate,, im mos def getting the older tt, they go around cheap nowadays.
New 2.0 TFSI produces 280 bhp
how much are they?
i think i'd rather get a GT-R
RWD is very hard to drive at the limit- it's called oversteer. In the hands of a normal driver with AWD, the AWD car would beat the RWD car hands down. In the hands of a pro, skilled driver, the RWD car would most likely always win.
Hi all, i need to know if people who tall like 2.00 meter can drive this car! i'll need to move my head down for see the road? Thanks...
There's one near me with a sun roof.
German POS? You were the one that seemed to like BMW in the beginning. People also buy Audis knowing what they want. Heard of Quattro? I know quite a few people who wouldn't have anything BUT an Audi because of Quattro, top notch interiors, and driving excitement. All three of those are things Lexus CANNOT match.
I will race you , i own a small aeroplane that can fly at over 700km per hour :P.
If it doesn't fall to bits first.

cool.. didnt knew about that.. thanks for the info
actually thinking about trading in my 911 993 for a brand new tt
hi,
what one did you get? Im going to get one but still confusd what 2 litres should I get? what you reckon?
fifth gear isnt QUITE the same as TOP GEAR i am just about to expolde when TG is confused with that remake...
Im getting aroung the low 30 mpg range on mine on the highway.
that includes you i guess?
if you answer, it is a "yes"...
oooo at the end this car is very gooooood!!!
That's fifth gear. Not top gear as im sure some other indidvidual has pointed out before me =)
my favorite car in the world!
THat's for sure!
Porsche. To me it looks like a Beetle coupe.
The first TT looked like a bulldog (or a squished VW beetle) this one is a little though.
and all i said was it still doesnt compare, 1 there was only 1 sledgehammer made, it doesnt look as nice as the buggatti, it doesnt handle as well, its 12yrs older, the bugattis gets to 254in 40seconds back to 0 in 20, try that in the sledge
my favourite car ! love it!
July 11, 2006
and id rather a ferrari with a neutron accelerator, but you know what? they're different cars, different class, engine size and price, so why even touch your keyboard to compare?
Impressive!

the TT 3.2 Quattro can rip the shit out of a camry 0-60 and 1/4 mile.
