Audi TT Coupe 1.8 T quattro (225ps) 2d (2000/X) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Great quality product with good equipment, holds it's value well, but let down by gruff 4 cyl engine
Costs
Cheap for the class - regular 30 mpg including regular London driving, 19k service intervals, tyres lasted over 26,000
-
On the road
Driving
Treat as a GT rather than a sports car - can be driven fast, but in a brutal style with little involvement
Performance
Quick, but not inspiring, full 225 bhp is dependent on an overboost facility so you have to be really booting it, and novelty wears off.

Living with it
Reliability
Suffered the ignition coil problem that affects this engine, but dealer changed under warranty (on a 4 year old car) in 15 mins. Problem with fuel sender unit was the only other problem so far in 50,000 miles
Image
Nothing comes close for less than £50k
Comfort
Comfortable on long journeys. Ride is poor on broken surfaces (i.e most city and country roads), not overly noisy unless compared to modern saloons
-
Security and Service
Security
Never broken into in 5 years
Service
Dealers are ok, but are often more image than substance (based on over 10 years of Audis). Servicing can be costly, worth shopping around
