Considering Audi TT quatro convert...any thoughts

[Sunny5]

Figured you all are car people and maybe someone has some thoughts and experience. The car has 77k on it 6 speed manual one owner no accidents.

And, I like the baseball glove-like seats...lol

TIA

but I like the design. Go to Audiworld and post same question there for more educated responses.

also check out Quattroworld (all the cool people from Audiworld went there 2 years ago) and Audizine

Longtime Audi owner (not a TT though) who just bought '04 330Ci cabrio, hence I'm here, late to the game for this thread.

I have loved my Audis for 10 years. Having said that:

I also looked at a TT recently and have driven them before, but only the 6-spd Quattro ones: Very bouncy (97" WB), if you're close to 6' tall or taller, you will feel like your head sticks above the windshield

Turns on a dime and corners like on rails.

As with most Audis, Timing belt (every 60-90k) is an issue at 77k, do not buy the car unless TB (and water pump) have not been done, or unless you get a $1k allowance

if you really want true AWD, the system on the TT (and A3) is not like other Audis but more akin to "AWD" Volkswagens-- an on-demand Haldex system.

If you don't get an AWD TT you get a FWD one, which might be a bummer after being used to RWD BMWs. I would not get any FWD Audi, ever.
