A few days ago the sun was out and I got carried away. I bought a 15 year old Audi TT Roadster to try and explain why having no roof makes everything better.

A couple years ago, I bought an Audi TT for my partner. Her father took me to pick it up and we loved it immediately. He passed later that day and we were left with this car that he had been the only other person in the passenger seat. The last couple years I've fixed up many of the very tiny issues. I don't have the convertible but the 180 with auto transmission and a bit of work under the hood, new stereo, bunch of modern upgrades. Everything about this car is something I've grown to love and it's created more memories than any car I've owned previously. Absolutely beautiful diamond in the rough I'd say with a little tlc.

I just got rid of my Mk1 TT to get a Range Rover Sport, and to be honest... I really miss it!!

Thought it was just me with all the shaking etc I have the 225 changed the 18” wheels for the original 17” fat fives drives far better now.

I held my breath during your silence before you mentioned the MX-5 ;o). It's an obvious choice for a cheap convertible. I have an NB Sport at the moment and it's such a laugh to drive. I think the TT would be much quicker though and more comfortable, as well as having a nicer interior. It's so nice that you can be spoilt for choice with a grand in your pocket, haha!

My dad had the 3.2 V6 with the DSG, oh I miss that car. I remember hearing it starting up every morning, still miss it to this day.

Love the content, just bought myself one the other day a Japanese import no less. Silver with a black roof. 180 BHP manual cost me 2700euro so in today’s money with inflation not bad nct and taxed, its a bit of cheap summer fun.

Damn, that’s the second time today, you’ve sent me off to look at Auto Trader! 🤣 Nice vid. Agree totally with old convertibles - it’s about the experience, not the handling or performance.

I managed to pick one of these up for scrap value of a friend as an MOT failure about 150 notes.. Few hours of my time and about a hundred quid in parts, it passed and I love it. Don't even care when my mates call me a hairdresser! People who scoff are just people who haven't driven one!!

I bought a silver 225 roadster in February for £1, 500 and now drive it more than my 2016 A3. It’s a beautifully retro car that makes a great noise and is great fun to drive, especially down country lanes in the sunshine.

Bought a mk2 TT convertible when I retired in 2013 its a 2007 with a Dsg box and it never fails to put a smile on my face every time I take it out. I've had a couple of issues the abs unit went and the roof sometimes won't go up but its simply a smile inducing dream.

Looks like the whole car is in good nick for the mileage , well done .
I have the coupe AWD 2002 down in OZ 83000km one owner had it for 4 years no major issues .
Yes the dash pod is cactus impossible to repair in OZ , pix a bit, but the temp gauge moves about a bit, but temp is always around 85 to 90 c , fuel gauge is always full, i reset the odometer at each fill and drive to 400km and refill no big deal when you easily get 650km per tank .
Good servicing on time helps with these cars for reliability , timing belt every 90, 000km , haldex is important too .
My other car is a GTI Clubsport , but i still do love to drive the TT especially out on the B roads, its a heavy dog in the city with a stiff shifter, heavy clutch .
Enjoy your TT my friend , well presented clip by the way .

Just bought a 2001 TT Turbo convertible for $5, 500 US unbelievable condition, runs great..center dash control you can't read but the rest is spot on. It's an 18 year old toy and I love it

I've been struggling to decide on a newer car, so going to get a cheap one of these for the summer and buy a newish car in the winter and use it for trade in.

Great video. Purchased my TT 225 as my second car on the same date (11.03.2019) as u posting this video! We got the same thinking why not MX5, but in Hong Kong, police hate JDM cars and easily pulled over by them...and TT has more power, quattro and is slightly cheaper than a MX5 which makes me to choose TT at last

Scotland is pretty nice when the sun shines.

5:20 is pure gold...!!!
a real meme... like in school, when you realising you knew the answer on the test from beginning and somehow you answer wrong..!!!

[christopherwilliams]

Would love to have one of these in that pretty metallic green with brown or beige interior someday. I always thought it would be a fun experiment to combine one of these with a solid body but dead engine with a salvage Golf or Jetta (Bora) TDi.

Sorry for commenting on everything, however if its something Ive driven the vids always grab my attention. Even if only for a day test drove one of these when my mate wanted to trade in his cooper s in 2008. Was a silver 05 225 bhp version. Remember the huge lag and banging through the 6 speed manual box out of cuiriosity to 70 odd from standstill and how it felt quick but certainly not fast. Totally agree on the wooly handling this was based on a mk4 golf chassis. These tts were stylish though and solid inside. Especially compared to an slk of the time.

I have a 2003 coupe 225. 150000 on the clock and still immaculate. Change the oil (quality not rubbish) every 6 months and spark plugs every 12 along with air and cabin filter and you’ll be fine. Don’t bother with a garage for the Haldex. Jack up the rear. Axle stands underneath and DIY. The oil you can get direct from an Audi dealership or eurocarparts using a discount code for around £18 and comes in a tube the same as bath sealant. Drain the old oil and when you’re ready bang in the new oil and quickly refit the drain plug. Done in 5 minutes. Filter every 2 years but you need an L shaped spanner costing around £10-15 on eBay. They can be a bugger to get off and on but quite an easy job.

Loved my old TT, had the 180 with a nice exhaust and remap. Made it a cracking drive.
