Test Drives:
2001 Audi TT Coupe
|
|
This was the second TT that I drove from St. James. This TT was equipped with the
high-turbo 225bhp 1.8T 4-cylinder engine, mated with the revolutionary Quattro system.
This coupe was also equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission. Off the line, there
wasn't too much pedal response, but at 3000rpm, the turbo really kicks in. This TT
sounds completely unique from the 180bhp TT, especially the sound of the turbo. The
steering is not overly assisted but not very precise either. The suspension is very tight at
low speeds but over 100kph, it becomes less predictable. The exterior has loads of
eye-appear, thanks to the beautiful paint finish, Amulet Red. Of the two choices for the
TT, I would definitely recommend the higher-turbo engine.
