I remember the version that had baseball glove seats.

The fuel cap and radio cover flap are anodised aluminium, not plastic. It’s highly offensive to a mk1 TT owner to call these plastic haha

I have a 99' 225 coupe which has been chipped by the previous owner to about 265 bhp! It does feel very rapid and I recon it will easily keep up with my E36 M3 on the twisty roads at least. I do enjoy driving it and it also does get attention from other cars and people. It is a very comfortable car to drive and the cockpit is a nice place to be. The only downside to my TT is the Turbo lag at low speeds, which because I drive my naturally aspirated M3 the other days can be a bit annoying when you've got used to a more linear power curve in a naturally aspirated car. Apart from that the TT is a very enjoyable car to drive and own 😎

It's a sweet little gem.
If I'm not mistaken it was kind of Audi's entry into a dying segment of small roasters that pretty much dyed out with the Plymouth/Pontiac Solstice.

The fuel cap and all the interior trim is aluminum, not plastic. Audi developed a special aluminum for light weight, luster and corrosion resistance. The 225 is indeed the better car for overall performance but the 180's smaller turbo spools up faster so it's not bad for fun factor. The best part of these cars is that there's a huge aftermarket of performance upgrades available to take it anywhere you want to go. Nice video

I have a absolute mint condition one in my garage at home. Really cool cars, mine in jet black 🖤. They look absolutely amazing 😊😊😊😊😊😊

I hate how Audi changed so much the TT design, the new ones dont stand out of the crowd the same way as the MK1 did.(and still does)

PS. I owe a S3 8P and the interiors of the S3 kinda looks like a modernization of the ones in the MK1 TT

[sKLeTvM]

Very nice video with attention for the TT design. Will be a timeless classic soon... and I'm looking to buy my 3rd TT MK1 !!

[maybewhoknows]

I have the Roadster 225hp for almost 10 years. I’ve had a few cars, but none gave me maintenance headaches like this one. I am at that point now where (hopefully) there isn’t much more parts to change, because i’ve changed it all 😅

7:43 It's real aluminum, not plastic.

[whitsundaydreaming]

I felt it was the peak balloon/earthworm design era and I couldn’t warm up to it. However you have brought me a new appreciation of it. The follow-up design was much nicer.

I owned one, TT MK1 225, same color, from 2006 till last year when I was obliged to sell it because it didn't meet city emission demands so I could not drive it where I live here in Europe, bought an Audi TT MK2 :)

[BlakeMcCringleberry]

It's a sort of spiritual successor to the Karmann Ghia. Smooth lines and design beauty define both of these vehicles.

[simonnorcliffe]

The design of the mark one is incredible 😊😊

[dinointhetube]

I love the design and yes body line flows etc but where they made a mistake is when they added the rear spoiler, should have been sat in line with the rear lights about 1 inch -2 .

Just had one of these given to me by my mother inlaw. She couldn't drive it anymore. I didn't know what model it was. I didn't know they had one with a single exhaust. Mine is dual exhaust. The only problem with the car is the driver's door is stuck closed. I have built cars since 1995. This is my first audi. And the first time i cannot figure out a door. I did everything i found online door will not open. I even ripped the door panel off to get to the cables. Nothing is opening this door. So dukes of hazard it is 😂 kinda fun jumping through the top 😂 glad its a convertible or it would be a tight squeeze through the passenger side. These are kinda death traps. 1st car in almost 30 years i cannot figure out. I've tried everything i seen online and apparently this is pretty common on these. My pride is preventing me from a professional. Because i have never had to put a car in the shop ever in my life. But feel this car is over my head. Good thing it was free. And I can't sell it because it was a gift. I have a heart.

Best looking car ever made for daily driving

[LexusLFA]

My friend absolutely hates this car for its jellybean appearance.

Me? This was the first car I ever picked in a racing game, namely FM2. Mostly because of the acceleration stat, but also because I didn't want to start with a MKV VW Golf.
I started with the 3.2 V6, which was classified as a D-Class back then when the class system just went from D to S/U and then R4, R3, R2, R1 (GT3, GT500, GT1, Prototypes performance levels)

I would love you to cover a Citroen Xsara Picasso one day.

[Dromoys]

Nice little review :-)
have a coupé, with quattro as a weekend car with some decent mods. Totally beautiful and fun car.

Btw.: afaik VAG build the 1.8t 20v until 2010 (in Seat Exeo, badge engineering of Audi A4 B7)

[MrRorosao]

I would a Black Audi TT 2005, is my joy, but as the car goes old is annoying to keep maintenance, but nonetheless this car is hella fun
