You can read reviews from owners of any car. For the year 2000, there were 43 reviews on the TT.
Audi's as a whole are outstanding cars. A bit smoother than BMW and much more reliable.
Best wishes on a super car

Q: BMW Z4 roadster or Audi TT roadster?
Which one would you pick?
A: Hmmm, I dont think that first has owned both as he'd have been more than aware about the dashboards falling out on them if he had.
Both are gorgeous cars, and it epends what Z4 you're thinking of getting. The lower end models suffer from having something of a shortfall on power, once you approach the larger engine, the straight sixes are a far superior engine the turbo'd four in the audi. Manybe not in terms of outright power, but it has visceral charm that a turbo four will never have.
The Z4 is very much more the sports car and definitely has the better chassis, bringing the more expensive models to within a whisker of being as good as a boxster. Other details, like rear wheel drive, inline engine and the ability to drift the back end all day long make it much more the drivers car. Down to little details like when stationary and you blip the throttle, the car rocks from side to side like a big capacity sportscar should.
Thats not to say the TT is a bad car, far from it, but if you check out www.reliabilityindex.co.uk you will see that it suffers a host of electrical problems, odd considering every other audi has rock solid reliability. I mentioned the dasboards falling out, most have been corrected by now under warranty, but electrical gremlins are commonplace. The TT is the choice if you're not a confident driver, as a straight six powered Z4 will step its back end out at every oppurtunity, something you either love or loathe depending on your ability as a driver. The problem with the first generation TT is that is not a real drivers car. The new model has been hugely developed and is up there with the best, so if you're looking at a new shape then great. If youre looking at the old shape then be prepared for a golf in a party dress.
Ultimately, men would take the bigger engined Z4, women would take the TT if you want to pigeonhole it.
As an aside, have you looked at the Honda S2000? More reliable than either, build quality that no german company can rival and a howling 9000rpm engine. It swaps the Z4's charisma for clinical precision.
I'd plumb for the Z4 as long as it was powered by a straight six.
Course there's always the SLK........
Q: Help, I need advice on selling an Audi TT Roadster, Quatro 2000, with 30,000 Miles in good condition, how?
Private Sale, not a trade. Any suggestions
A: I bought my 2001 tt roadster on ebay. You'll have much better luck finding a buyer on ebay for a niche car like this. Autotrader is only local, ebay is nationwide. I had mine shipped from Texas to California.
This is especially true if you have a rare model, like the green on green or baseball interior.
Q: Anyone driven the new Audi TT roadster yet?
wANT ! WANT! wANT!
A: Stop copying my avatar! Seriously, this is a section about books and authors, not cars.
Q: is the audi tt roadster a 1.8l?
A: the other answer is correct for the current cars... if you go back to the first gen of tt roadsters that made it over, then it probably does have the 1.8l... i think that they switched over to the 2.0l in 2002...
Q: I have an audi tt 225 roadster w reg 2000. The oil light keeps coming on and off.?
I have just had an oil and filter change but it hasn't cured the problem.
A: You need to get the oil pressure checked by gauge see what psi you are getting.In all probability it will be the oil pressure sensor faulty.
Q: audi TT vs. nissan 300zx?? help?
Dad's getting me my first car.
I've looked at every car under the sun. (literally)
researched all of 'em.
the specs the reviews you name it.
I've come down to the:
1996 Nissan 300zx convertible
or.
a car that hhumorously my ddoctorrecommended.
2002 Audi TT roadster quattro
I know there's a couple thousand difference in price.
My friends getting an Acura RSX. I wanna beat him on the track.
I live in the around the Great Lakes. so yes. cold weather is a factor.
I want a car that is fun to drive, great performance, and isn't seen everywhere i look.
Oh and they're only both convertibles because my girlfriend loves the top down and I go to South Carolina twice every year. So the Twin turbo'd nissan and the non-roadster audi are still in the question.
suggestions.
comments.
thanks for the help.
A: 90's Z cars are getting kind of old by now if properly restored you may be happy with a twin turbo with T tops. Talk with audi owners ask about tire wear and alignment issues related to Audi TT roadster. I had to purchase several audi specific tools to insert into the floor pan to move the suspension into alignment. 300zx are expensive to bring back to life. If your fast and can spend lot's of money do it soon because factory parts are becoming hard to find. Remember you don't buy a wind noise water leaking car just because your girl friend likes top down motoring. Convertibles tend to be more flexible road walk and cowl shake. Where you live the Quattro all wheel drive may be necessary unless you want to also purchase a winter car and a Z.
Q: Soft Top Audi TT Question?
This is probably going to sound stupid but I recently purchased a Audi TT roadster with a soft top. Now I never had a convertible before so I'm not sure exactly how to go about washing the car as all the car washes here in Hawaii that I know of is automatic. I'm assuming I won't be able to take it into an automatic car wash?
A: I wash mine by hand. I would not think it a good idea under high pressure. Enjoy your ride.
Q: Should i buy an Audi TT coupe or roadster?
which one would you prefer? the Coupe or the roadster convertible?
A: do not buy the roadster unless you are a pimp/drugdealer
Q: I am planing on buyin a Audi TT convertible and want to customize it?
I am planing on buying a 2001 Audi TT Roadster-Convertible and I am a gal so I don't know too much about cars...
1. How much is a custom paint job? Any site where I can see...Cause I would like to paint it some shade oof yellow or orange...
And
2. What should I put into it to make it...Better?
Like turbocharger, Intercoolers, Tuning Software, Spoilers, Brakes,Interiors?
Thanks!
A: Well a good custom paint job will cost you anywhere about $1500 to $3000, and a turbocharger will be expensive but some minor machinal changes can make your car faster like losing weight with changing the seats well the Turbo charger will help the most but you can go by changing the intake manifolds and the exhuast pipes!
Q: Are wheel spacers safe to use to widen the stance of your car?
I have a 2001 Audi TT Roadster 225 HP Quattro. Want to put some 25mm spacers in the rear and maybe 15 or 20mm in the front. I currently have a stud conversion kit for my wheels. Will these work with the spacers or will I have to buy new studs/bolts?
A: You will not want to use spacers, you want to use wheel adapters(basically spacers that bolt to your original lugs) for something that thick. The thickest spacers are around 7/16". Check this site out:

they make adapters.
