THE SPORTY AUDI TTUSED-CARS
The Audi
TT’s looks
has been
described by
most people
as being
‘stunning’
even though
it has been
on sale since
1999.
The cabin
is as
stylish as
the car’s
exterior
and
comfortab
le for all
but not for
the
tallest.
Unlike the Roadster,
the coupe comes
with a back seat
which is extremely
cramped, and best
suited as an extra
storage area.
The TT provides
good performance
from even the least
powerful versions.
Most have four-wheel
drive - and excellent
traction as a result -
while the firm
suspension gives
precise handling,
although the low-
speed ride is rather
firm.
If you fancy a TT,
but are torn
between the hard-
top coupe and soft-
top roadster, the
deciding factor
may well be what
sort of a driver you
are. The coupe's
roof makes the
body stiffer and
improves the
handling, so it's the
only choice for a
keen driver,
whereas the
roadster is better
for those who are
happy to take
things more gently.
As far as the trim is
concerned, things are
easy - just a single,
generous trim for each
engine. The choice of
engine depends largely on
how much money want to
spend.
The earliest models, and
therefore the cheapest
used buys, have a choice
of 133 and 165 Kw turbo-
charged 1.8-litre engines.
The 3.2 V6 is a great
engine, particularly with
the optional semi-auto
DSG gearbox, and even the
front-wheel drive models
with 133 Kw won't leave
you feeling short-changed.
There was a face-lift in 2002, but the
revised front grille (the only major
difference) is almost impossible to
spot, so the best advice is to buy the
newest car you can afford.
If any criticism could have been
levelled at the original TT, it would
have been a lack of interior space
and the fact that it was a less
rewarding drive than some rivals.
Audi has taken both of these factors
on board to create a larger but
lighter TT Coupe with improved
handling and more space inside.
You certainly get the car you’re
expecting when you buy a TT, but
that doesn’t make it cheap. However,
re-sale values on the used car
market
