Positive Review
Meets my def. of a sports car. two seater, manual trans. and a ragtop. Downshifting and punching it around a corner is a trip. Want to drive it all the time. Never play the Bose stereo just love to listen to the revs. All the car I can handle, what a rush!
Critical Review
I would never buy another VW product based on this car. It's the worst car for reliability I've owned, even worse than an AMC Javelin.

Found a 2017 Fiat spider 124 Classico. Great little car. Mazda frame and technology with an Italian style and engine. R title do got an almost new car at a very reasonable price.
fun to drive and show!
Low to the ground
German styling and performance are always contemporary. Easy to handle, comfortable and the "stick shift gears" give the driver the feeling of complete control. The upgraded wheels and tires are an attention getter for all ages. It is comfortable to get into whether you are short or tall, young or old. However, since I'm an aging driver I'm finding it more difficult to get out. Age, stiffening joints, and arthritis is signaling to me that exiting will only get worse in the future. The TT Roadster is an attractive and fun car, it may not still be practical for those of us who are aging out of sports/dream cars.
Fun driver, good milage , great design
small plastic engine parts need replacement with a
What a great performance car, I have two of them 2000 and 2001, as normal for a 21 year old car they need dedicated maintainance, but a joy to drive... Also very well. built!
My TT is the best
none when it comes to my TT
I LOVE MY TT. I DREAMT ABOUT IT AND I BOUGHT IT. THE TIMING BELT BROKE AT 108,000. AND THE REST IS History. i fought Audi of America and i won. I love my TT, and she gets the best gas and treatments. She runs as good as the first day and she has never let me down, when it comes to trunk space

Baseball glove leather heated seats. CD changer, HomeLink, 6 Speed manual Quattro. Blue on Blue exterior. New timing belt and water pump @ 54000 miles for good measure. Very clean engine.
Great daily driver for all seasons
expensive to maintain as it gets older
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!
