2002 AudiTT Base For Sale

I have loved this car. Great fun to drive. The trunk is far bigger than one would think. When the top is up it feels a little confining and there is a huge blind spot. When the top is down it is great. The car is expensive to repair and now that I have 70,000 miles, it starting to cost me. I commute in this car and I get 22 MPG in town and I can get 30 MPG on the highway. Its very comfortable for daily drive and on trips.

When these came out, I didn't like them at all. Too small, wasn't keen on the styling, figured the AWD wouldn't handle well. I bought my first on a whim for cheap money on line; and thought I'd give it to my wife to replace her 20 year old Miata. I went to pick it up....and everything changed. This car does EVERYTHNG well, except for maybe delivering a cord of firewood. It's quick, comfortable, rides well, AWD drive is good in all weather conditions, it handles like it's on rails, the cabin in comfortable and roomy for a small roadster, gas mileage is good. People who say it is slow probably don't know how to drive a turbocharged engine. Keep the revs over 3100 and it's a LOT faster than a Miata. It is the perfect commuter winter, spring summer and fall. When the weather is cool, I still drop the top, raise the rear glass deflector and windows, and crank up the heated seats. As long as it's sunny, I'll drive it that way down to 45 degrees comfortably. Needless to say, my wife never got her Miata replaced. What's wrong with the car? It is highly engineered, so anything that breaks is expensive. Not everyone works on these, I had to find an import specialty garage about 15 miles away as my local guy wouldn't touch it. The expense to fix also means that any fender bender you get into may easily total the car. I bought that first one for $5500, and it took about another $5k to sort it out. I had been driving it trouble free for about a year and put over 30,000 miles on it when I hit a deer. Though it was still drivable with light cosmetic damage, they totaled it. I immediately bought another. If you're only going to drive it on dry sunny weekend summer days, spend the extra $5K and get a Boxter. But if you want to drive no matter what the weather (they are pretty much impervious to rust...) get a TT. And don't forget to change that timing belt every 60-70K miles!
