Audi TT Coupe 1.8T quattro

...the TT screams "success", and Audi wouldn't disagree with that statement. So successful has the TT been that it's barely had a facelift since inception and, unlike many of its competitors, it has taken eight years for Audi to bite the bullet and have a go at updating it. Over the years different incarnations of the TT have come out and there's now a range of Coupe and soft-top Roadster models to choose from and a plethora of engine choices from ...
...is this one - the Audi TT 1.8 T 225bhp version, arguably the most chosen model across the range. The 1.8 litre turbo engine spins out a whopping 225 brake horse power, dashes from a standstill to sixty miles per hour in just 6.4 seconds and would keep going up to a jail-sentence-acquiring 151mph if you were to find a road long enough, straight enough and clear enough to have a go at it. It's only four miles per hour slower at the top end than the ...

Review of Audi TT Coupe 1.8T quattro

...haven't had it serviced by Audi (20000m with an interim at 10000m) because their prices are ridiculous. I can get it done with genuine Audi parts and oil for half the dealer price. * Likes: looks, quattro road holding, heated seats * Dislikes: six CD changer which is on the passenger side in the back seat, aluminium gear knob which is freezing in the winter * Not bothered: seating capacity, low mpg (27 urban, though mid 30s on a long drive) I ...
...car. * I went to try a BMW Z4 before settling on the TT. But no one came to talk to me in the showroom - did they think I was someone's wife??? - so I went round the corner to Audi who were so welcoming and helpful. ...

Review of Audi TT Coupe 1.8T quattro

...a position of getting an Audi TT Quattro in black for a knock down price, and only being the second owner, it was an impulse buy. At first everything was good, it had a CD changer, heated seats, computer telling you everything, and the looks you got when driving were fun. The novelty really REALLY wears off fast however. After about a week of driving, having such a noticeable car started to become a problem rather than being a bit of fun. It might ...
...places would not touch the Audi fusebox, because Audi keep their codes to themselves, meaning you have to get them fixed there, which, after signing up for the correct breakdown cover, we had to do. On driving there, the tow man said Audi were noted for treating people like something on their shoe. Although they didnt do this to me, they did do this to many other people. Whilst waiting for the fella to come out, the receptionist put down someones ...

Review of Audi TT Coupe 1.8T quattro

...with all the toys and Audi build quality...............really can not complain! Mines has covered sixty four thousand miles now and I've owned since fourty four with no problems what so ever. Besides from the usual sky high Audi servicing costs this car has only cost me four new tyres, new discs and pads and the petrol to run it. The first thing you will notice upon sitting in the car is how low slung the seats are ( nothing next to a Z4 coupe, ...
...bit of getting used to along with the 'harsh' ride...............but honestly I find it hard to have any complaints. Early models are now available for about £8k which puts in the same kind of money range as a new Corsa, seriously don't even think about that.............go buy yourself a good clean TT and you will not be disappointed ...

Review of Audi TT Coupe 1.8T quattro

Bought new in TT180C Quattro 2003, silver with grey leather and alcantara...(a much better interior than all leathers) and has now coverered 40K. Sure to be a classic. A great experience so far.. the only car I have enjoyed enough to keep more than two-three years! Treated with respect this car rewards the driver on a daily basis. Pushed hard, different story....steering a bit wooly and cornering suffers from serious drift and understeer although keeping the power on does allow the ESP to sort things out. Fuel consumption not great but acceptable considering the performance. Warranty work: New dash pod. New alarm keys. New drivers seat cover. Good: aesthetics, interior build quality Bad: Dealer labour costs ...
