Okay, so I've bought a Metallic silver (one in the pic) Audi TT Coupe and will try to sum up the good and bad points about it.

Points to note:

Great performance. Basically all models have the same engine size and is only a 1.8L. This suprises most people as the cars have a, well deserved, reputation for speed. The power results from that engine being turbo charged. There are two models - performance wise - the 180 BHP and the 225 BHP. I've got the 180BHP and is honestly fast enough. The only difference between the two is that the turbo has been 'tweeked' or boosted if you like to give an extra 45 BHP which im sure makes the cars performance quite remarkable.
I'm a fairly sensible driver but when I put my footdown - in a safe area of course! - The car accelerates very well indeed, not quite scarily so but almost!

Design. The car is superbly designed with all the mod cons you could desire - Climate control, Electric windows, CD Player, heated seats etc etc, and all are easily at hand and a pleasure to operate
Not to mention the beauty of the actual design itself.

Space: The car is idea for 2 people. There is loads of room for 2. In fact more than enough as the car is a lot wider than most. I'm 6ft and fit into it perfectly. The boot is surprisingly big. Large enough for 2 suitcases. If more room is needed the 2 rear seats can be folded down if desired.
I've had 4 people in the car (once!) and is a tight squeese for those in the back. Okay for short journeys but thats all.

Cost: I bought mine for £19,000. 35,000M. It's metalic sliver (my prefered colour), 180 BHP, wide wheel option, 6 CD autochanger, Xenon headlights, headlamp washers, black leather seats, on board computer etc. Basically lots of options and that seems to be the going rate.
Miles per gallon is a respectable 30 although AUDI recommend that super unleaded is used which costs an extra 10pence per litre generally.

Insurance: This is the real killer. I'm 27 and have no no claims discount so It's costing me £2000 a year to insure. A lot I know but worth it!
I have had to get the tracker system fitted before my insurance company would even consider it! That was an extra £300

The reason for buying the model I did were:

I like Silver!
The 180 BHP is generally £2500 cheaper than the 225BHP model.
The Coupe looks slicker than the roadster which frankly looks ridiculous with the roof up.
The coupe has 4 seats as opposed to the roadsters 2 seats.

Saftey: The car feel extremely well built and solid. It is also fitted with 4 airbags - 2 front and 2 side.

Handling: It really does handle like a dream. To start with it has (of course) power steering but is also so heavy and low to the ground that it feels like it's on rails!!! I've also got the wide wheel option which are 225mm which also helps!

The only thing I've been dissapointed with is the Customer service from AUDI. As my car is still under warranty they seem to treat me with less respect than if I was a paying customer which is wrong and dissapointing.

Should you buy one? YES! The initial cost and the insurance is a bit of an obstactle but if you can manage it then do it!! You won't regret it!

Any questions? - feel free.

    Not bad intro, but info on what the car has to offer would have resulted in a higher rating (eg comfort, ride, equipment, service costs etc.). If you ever redo this op, please let me know and I'll reread it and review my rating :)
