Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£15,000
When did you buy the car?
December 2006
Did you get a good deal and why?
Well at the time I thought the price was a little too high. But then they did tax it for me, gave me a full Audi service and fixed my personal number plates. So overall I was happy.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Wasn't looking to upgrade my MX5 at the time. However, When I first spotted the TT I thought it was a lovely 'black' car. I test drove it, loved it, bought it ! It wasnt until I picked it up a few days later that I realised it was blue not black !! Yes I am colour blind but its one of those colours that looks different in changing lights. I call it my mood car, except black or blue it makes me very happy.
What was the dealer like?
Very good, a family business. I had a mechanical fault which occurred just days after the 12 month warranty had expired. They fixed it no charge. Couldn’t fault their service.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Comfortable, powerful, great road holding, safe.
What's it like to park?
No problem to park. Although the TT is not a small car it still fills a garage and parking spot. Steering I feel falls short especially if you want full steering lock to do a U turn, can let you down.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing major with the car. Although to own, a beautiful car can have its expensive draw backs. I garage my car, however, on two occasions whilst parked in a public place it has been spray painted and keyed which cost me dearly !
What's most practical about your car?
What is practical about 2 seaters. I have owned 2 seaters all my life the only practical thing is, if you have a family, to run a 2nd car, a family car.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Love the electric hood and electric windbreak, also the heated leather seats are fab for cold crisp winter top-less driving !
