*puts on flame suit*

how are these audi tt's to daily drive? how about there motors? little coupe 6 speed,turbo,awd? in the market for a new dd and you can get 01-03 for under 10k. i like the looks of them and i can get my golf clubs in it. so anyone with experience

 

[Fairlady]

they are garbage. handful of people wrecked them in europe doing 110mph lane changes. lawsuits were filed here over the 1.8l turbo engine. not to mention you are essentially driving a vw beetle.

check out a z3 3.0/M if you want a luxury vert.

 

[dreamcar88]

ive driven all of them. The new tts dont look as gay...With my experience all the tt owners ive delt with at audi were very anal and gay...

i guess if your looking for something to put your clubs in id rather buy a golf cart than a tt. For how cheap cars are now you can get a 05+ a4 for 15-20k

have a e36 323 that is my daily dd. its a 99. women just got a 335i that we use but i want something slightly newer and different. sold my turbo miata and havent gotten another toy since. in about august to sept i will get a z06 but something cheap under 10k i want now. i saw a blacked out audi tt that i liked the look of.

Get an '06+ A3 instead. Those are great driving cars, very fun, and very functional. And you can haul about 12 sets of golf clubs in it if you want.
EDIT: Just saw your price range and the A3 won't work if you stick in that price range.

 

[Mr. Wob]

Yeah - I'd skip the TT. For a variety of reasons - from quality to what you are paying for.

 

[jump'n'jive]

i dont know 225 hp awd doesnt sound bad for 9-10k. i would get the coupe not the convert hmmm i just want a new car damnit lol

 

[Mr. Wob]

With the years you are looking at 225hp won't mean much if it won't start. Ya smell me?

I like the earlier designs just fine, but ownership would not be something I would strive for. People being killed from its handling and more than a few class action lawsuits tells me I should not be thinking about it as a DD IMO.

If you want something like an Audi TT at the same price:

Corvette C5 - quick, cheap parts, not the best interior, but reliable as a mule.
Chrysler Crossfire - some minor issues, but better than the TT for sure.
350Z - tranny issues and not the best quality but again, better than TT IMO
Civic Si - not quite the same but dead reliable
Subaru WRX - AWD, about the same power, more seats and much more reliable.

 

[Fairlady]

hmm i was gonna mention e36 m3 but you already have a e36 and i guess you want something different.

could check out an RX8???

I think it's important to distinguish durable (C5) and reliable (WRX). You can have one without the other and you can have both together (MKIV), but it's worth making the distinction.

 

[Romancer]

Rx8's are under 10k now?!

 

[7Sins]

na mkiv?

 

[Fairlady]

i know scary right...

[jump'n'jive]

Upping my price to 15k. I can get a 05 to 06 for that. Test driving some tomorrow will report back but pretty set on this car and the women approves.

 

[dgilman360]

the women approves.

Obviously she does, its a girly car...

They are everywhere here too... Alright looking car, don't think I would buy one unless it was dirt cheap.

 

[SPOOLN30]

The rs4,6,8 and the r8 are cool. But they are a pain to work on

What does that have to do with this guy wanting to drive an Audi Beetle?

 

[ionoxj]

For under 10k,
I think you can get a high mileage Subaru Wrx, or maybe a rsx? Honda civic si?
I think theres many choices instead of Audi TT.
Good luck ! Hope you find something haha

 

[dudewheresmycar]

you should get the c5 vette or 350z.maybe a rx-8

Run, run far far away. The Audi TT with low miles, and fairly new is a large PITA in terms of reliability and it does not offer much. I would predict that a sub $10,000 TT would have higher miles and as a whole, a disaster of a choice. Much better can be had in that price range, and you won't have to defend your sexuality.
