Used 2001 Audi TT for Sale near Denver, CO

This is not a typical convertible. When it first came out it was a big bet for Audi because of the "industrial" rounded design but the car soon became a huge success. 2001 was the first year that the 225-horsepower version of the standard turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine (180hp) was used for the roadster. The 225hp engine was mated with a 6speed transmission with short throws. This engine is beautiful with quick acceleration (low 6s) and minimum turbo lag compared to the standard 180hp engine. Handling is amazing. This car drives on rails and the steering is very responsive at high speeds. In my opinion All wheel Quattro drive should be the strongest reason for someone to buy an Audi. It is the epitome of German engineering and it's offered as a very cheap option in all Audi models. With the top down this car attracts all the attention. The baseball leather option helps to give the interior a very upscale look. Back in my clubbing days I don't think there was a single Saturday night that I wouldn't get at least three to five numbers thrown to me as I was driving down the club district. My only problem was that with the top down, I never ended up catching many of these numbers anyway. The glass wind screen is a very smart idea. It's deployed with the touch of a button so you don't have to get out of the car to install it, or carry it in the trunk like in many other convertibles. I think the major disadvantage of this car is the has a very tight interior space. With the top up I had one girlfriend that suffered panic attacks every time she would get in my car because she was claustophobic. I also had a hard time parking the car because visibility is really bad form the back small glass window. Boot space is non existent so if you plan on weekend getaways send your suitcases with a cab in advance to your planned destination as you can hardly fit a briefcase in the trunk..

The 2001 quattro roadster is a great little car. Timeless, unique styling. Head room is great for taller drivers-much better than most roadsters and even those 6'+ tall can fit comfortably (very important to me). First yr for convertible TT in US, so there are not that many good low-mileage examples left, but if you can find one can still get it for a great price. Look for the ones with the amber optic baseball interior and Bose stereo; both amazing- even by 2014 standards. Quick; especially fun in 4th/5th/6th on freeway. Suggest looking into stage 1 tune which will bring quattro up to ~250hp and smooth out power. Much more cargo room than I expected. Way less common and more unique than a boxster or bmw roadsters- still looks contemporary 14 yrs after build (moreso than later models in my opinion). People often think it is a new $40-$50k car. If you buy one, find a good audi/VW shop; they will charge prob half of the dealership. Take note of whether timing chain has been replaced and when. Replace it more often than recommended (every 50k or so, bc if they go it's bad news). Overall, I love it. Exactly what I wanted for fun and commuting on sunny days.

LOVE it! this car is so much fun to drive and as far as the convertible top, it almost has no road noise. I;m sure the Bose stereo system helps drown out whatever small noise could creep in while tooling down a winding country road on a clear Spring day.

I just recently purchased a 2001 Audi TT Roadster, and am really impressed. I’m a big guy, 6’ 5” tall and over 250 lbs., so I need leg room, shoulder room, etc. The TT Roadster is remarkably roomy inside. Plenty of leg room, wide enough for each person to have a comfortable amount of space around them, and the telescoping/tilting steering wheel help ensure a comfortable driving position. Definitely recommend that bigger people give it a look. Since I purchased the vehicle out of state, I drove it 1,700 miles home. It is a great road trip car. While the suspension is tight, Audi has somehow managed to keep the bumps from impacting the passengers. And the 225 hp/207 lb ft of torque give it plenty of “get up and go” for passing maneuvers. I was also pleasantly surprised at the fuel economy, getting just under 30 mpg on the highways, most of which had 70 or 75 mph speed limits. Since this is a 2001 model, Bluetooth is non-existent; there’s no touch screen to control the radio, navigation, climate controls, etc.; and the seats are manual control only. But, to have this much fun driving a car, certainly willing to make that trade off.

i've had the TT almost 5 years now. It's by far the best car i've ever owned. I still get asked about it everywhere i go, and it still has more class and style than almost anything at all. But most of all, is the feeling it gives while driving. The car is truly one of a kind.
