Buy only if your rich
Source: Cars.com

...It's super fun to drive and the styling is amazing. But...and it's a big but, the darn thing just falls apart! Everything fails! They have lots of known problems that audi refuses to acknowledge or fix. If anything goes out count on spending a minimum of $600-700. Literally 800 for a glovebox! If anything mechanical goes out just start crying cause it's gonna cost a few thousand to fix! Maintenance is no better, the parts for and oil change and front brakes set me back about $700. I love to drive this car! But I am no longer rich."...

TTRS joy
Source: Cars.com

..."I have been driving "ultimate driving machine" for years, love them, but not really sure the move to all turbos is totally correct, and getting a manual transmission is getting more difficult.
Here comes the TTRS, correct and wonderful tranny and clutch, a bit of a adjustment, happily though!
Car wants to fly and the 4 wheel drive is under steer free, and makes the car feel planted.
2 levels of suspension is an extra bonus. Son has a new 1M and it it teeth gnawing stiff period.
One issue so far, rear wheel brake squeal. Navi ok, Bose stereo adequate, exhaust note...

Fun under the sun

...all positive in first sixteen months and 11,700 miles.
Dealer (Steve White in Greenville, S.C.) is top notch.
Impossible to pay for anything but gas and tires once the car is yours and that sure makes driving easy on the wallet.
my wife likes it as much or more than the Boxster she had and the quattro awd system is terrific...

Fun car
Source: Cars.com

..."I have enjoyed my 2001 Audi TT for many years now.
I have had similiar problems that other reviewers have experienced.
My handle on the glove box broke, Cost 750 dollars! Can you believe it? I also had to replace the instrument panel at my own cost. At least now I can tell if the fuel is low...

GREAT CAR
Source: Cars.com

..."Have had my Silver 2001 Audi TT Quattro for 3 years now with no problems.
It has been an excellent car. Put 18 inch wheels on it and people stop to tell me how nice it looks and ask if it is new.
No problems with any of the things people commonly complain about.
I looked for a well maintained TT, with all service records and have had zero problems.
Car looks, handles and runs far above my expectations. Fuel economy is great and HP is well above any other vehicle in it's class."...

Review at 12,500 Miles

...Very stylish car that is fun to crank up and drive both slow and fast. Handles well and gets around 30MPG on the road and 25MPG around town...

My favorite car...ever

2008 Audi TT 3.2 Coupe Quattro
Source: Cars.com

...The car provides a surprising amount of interior room for such a small car. The coupe provides a fair amount of storage with the rear seats down, enough space for a weeks worth of groceries. Other coupes we lookeed at such as the Nissan 370Z did not have anywhere near the amount of room that this car provides. Two minor complaints. I am a small woman. With the seat in my position, it is hard for me to reach back and grab the seatbelt to put it on and the coffee cup holder is in an awkward position. My husband is 6 foot and has no problem with these issues that I have and finds the car very...

#10
High in engineering issues
Source: Cars.com

..."This model car is known for problems with the instrument cluster, fuel pump, timing belt, handling and glove box, just to mention the important ones.
The instrument cluster and timing belts were subject to class action suits that resulted in favorable treatment to Audi not the consumer.
The glove box lock is very poor in construction. Repairs? Almost $1,000 and you get the same lock replacement part subject to another breakdown.
Also an issue was engine failure due to oil problems as Audi recommended ONCE A YEAR OIL CHANGES
!Who does that? Another lawsuit favorably settle...

Why should I also consider these?

Depending on how you see the 2012 Audi TT, its rivals can be either small luxury coupes and convertibles or true sports cars.

The Nissan 370Z cuts length to gain in style, handling, and ride quality, but it's still rough and noisy compared to the TT.

The Mercedes-Benz SLK has a folding hardtop, a technically interesting style, and a hot AMG performance edition, but the Audi TTS has a lighter, nimbler feel.

It's probably out of the question for badge snobs, but if a base Porsche Boxster is still too expensive, a fully optioned TTS still checks in below $50,000.

Also, for 2012, BMW is introducing a turbo four-cylinder version of its Z4 Roadster; while the current version of the Z4 feels like more of a grand tourer than an edgy sports car, the more economical engine also puts it back on the board as a TT rival.

 
2012 BMW Z4
The 2012 BMW Z4 is a great option for the driver seeking a balance of fun and comfort, making it a great light tourer, but it can quickly become expensive with added options.
 
2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK Class
It may be the most pragmatic roadster of its kind, but the SLK 350 dares you to doubt its partying skills.
 
2012 Porsche Boxster
Stylish, fun, and capable, the 2012 Porsche Boxster is one of the best roadsters around.
 
2011 Nissan 370Z
A great performance car that starts just under $30,000, the 2011 Nissan 370Z comes close enough to Porsche performance to make you wonder.
