The Audi TT design in and out of the car is a "work-of-art". The quattro drive is seamless and smooth, just let the car do the work and hold on.

The 6-speed transmission is smooth and precise. Fit and finish is the best I have ever seen at ANY price range. The cockpit is gorgeous with leather and aluminum everywhere. All the controls and buttons have a solid feel.

At speeds over 130mph with the top down, the Roadster feels comfortable and at home.

Many things have gone wrong, windows don't work, or when they do, they work in their own way. This is a problem that the dealer has "fixed" 4 times now. They would have fixed it many more times, but I do not have the time to keep bringing it in for this problem so I wait for other things to build up. Like the dashboard electronics. The entire dash was replaced when the car had 10,000 miles. As a result, the stereo stopped working which took 2 months to get replaced. Ever since I've been plagued with other electronic problems, ESP warning light constantly on (after being fixed by the dealer 33 times). And a slew of other electrical related problems. There are no mechanical problems (unless the ESP Warning is mechanical related)

I bought this car because I liked the style, it is much different than anything out there. But after putting 23,000 miles on it there are many things I dislike. My right leg rests against a bar while driving that for the first few minutes is comfortable, but after a half hour, it starts to get annoying. The sun visor only covers the windshield and the seating position and large side windows make it horrible when the sun is beating in from the side. Granted I expect this with the top down, but in the winter, or on days that I don't put the top down, it really sucks to have the sun beating in on the side of your head with no visor to cover it up. I really do like the car, but due to the number of problems and design flaws, I am trading in for the porsche boxster. I should have bought the Porsche to begin with, but live and learn. I think Audi has a great concept of a car, they just need to revisit the electrical system and make some major changes.

Nothing has gone wrong with my car. It is brand new and only has 2500 miles, but so far, not a single missed step.

I believe that the 225 TT quattro coupe is nearly the perfect sports car. The exterior styling is gorgeous and unique. I don't think a more beautiful car is made today by any manufacturer, and the interior styling and materials are even better. This car is an instant classic and as such is a bargain at $35K which I paid, with every option except nav.

Performance is adequate for a sports car with excellent braking and spirited acceleration. Turbo lag is only slightly bothersome, and outward visibility is marginal, though an easy tradeoff in exchange for great looks.

The only serious shortcoming of the TT is the lack of razor sharp steering control. My first car was a non-power assisted CRX-Si which handled perfectly. My next car was a Maxima SE which handled poorly until I added Eibachs and Tokico's.

Though my car has only 2500 miles, I will probably change the springs and struts this summer. With luck, it will be transformed into the perfect driving machine for me. It is already pretty close.

The styling (interior & exterior) is the best of any auto in history.

The 225 is quite powerful. The twin intercoolers provide quick-response acceleration when you want it. Steering with the accelerator is a pleasure.

The quattro AWD allows the car to hug the road. Combined with the ESP (Electronic Stability Program), it's hard to force the tires to slip on wet pavement, even when you're trying to.

Given that this car has better performance than a standard Boxster, why would you buy anything else in this category?
