An old guy with a fun car!
It took me over 3 years to find this car. I flew to different parts of the country, including Florida to Arizona, to satisfy my wants. I know when you purchase an older used car there will be needs and always expect them. Needless to say an Audi dealership inspected the car and helped me understand future needs. Tires, brakes and rotors, timing belt, water pump have been major improvements as of this date. All expected! Just love this car and my preferred mode of travel for short distances. It is a third car in a two driver family and my other cars are a Mercedes and BMW. These used for long distance driving. I'm 6' tall and weigh 200 lbs. More than adequate room and comfort. My age makes it a bit difficult getting out. Again, a most enjoyable ride.

Too fun to drive
I traded a 1999 A4 in for this car and my first impression was wow what a difference. The car tracks as if it's on rails. No problems in 16K miles. The 225 HP turbocharged engine pulls like a raped ape! There is some turbo lag but you get used to it quickly. My wife and I constantly fight over who gets to drive it too work. Talk about a head turner, too bad I'm not single again.

Cool Fun
From the moment I saw the prototype of this car I knew it was a classic.After years of lusting for it I finally purchased the red ALMS.Its a classy car, loads of fun to drive and always gets a thumbs up on the road.No mechanical problems after 2 years and my weekend ritual is keeping it clean. I put a computer chip in it and changed the exhaust system for a little more kick. A sunroof would be nice but really its a great car!
ALMS for me
I've loved this car from the first day I took possession of it. With the turbocharged engine, nicely matched 6-speed manual and quattro all-wheel drive this car provides all the performance of cars priced thousands higher. The TT is really in it's element on open, twisting roads - but I've found that it is fun to slalom through the ponderously large SUV's which congest our urban freeways! The details of this car are designed to delight - all the way down to the beautifully designed gas filler - makes filling the tank marginally enjoyable. In the two years I've had the car I have had had no mechanical problems and only minor issues with the radio system.
Know what you're buying
Purchased a 225 ALMS edition in Sept 02. Pros: fast, great design, ALMS red and 18" wheels, TT look is a head turner; Gearbox is smooth; Trunk storage adequate in back for golf clubs or Costco runs; Complaints: significant turbo lag in 1st gear (much more than the 180hp), some rattles at 3K miles (!!). Annoying support frame (for center console) makes it a little uncomfortable for tall drivers.The TT is a gocart - fast and nimble; and a pleasure to drive. Great handling at high speeds on mountain roads. After 6 months no problems. TT puts it all into one package - nimble, fast, fun and a head turner to boot.
