Summary
What does this car say about you?
I've never really thought about it.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
All my friends have been very positive and one has already swapped her old car for a TT roadster. My wife thinks it's great because she can get in and out much easier than the S2000.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Definitely but only if we had a second car for more mundane chores.
What are you likely to buy next?
The TT will be with us for a long time but we would probably go for a Mazda CX5 as an everyday car.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£27,000
When did you buy the car?
January 2012
Did you get a good deal and why?
The car was their demonstrator with relatively high mileage for a car six months old. After some hard negotiations I felt that we got a fair deal.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Wanted a more economical roadster than the Honda S2000 I was running at the time.
What was the dealer like?
Friendly and helpful remained friendly all through the bargaining process.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The engine pulls very well at low revs and the four wheel drive gets the power down without the scrabbling you get with front wheel drive only. Road holding is exceptional and the fuel economy is good provided you don't play traffic light Grand Prix too often.
What's it like to park?
Rear parking sensors are a must with the hood up apart from that OK.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The windscreen cracked but my local Audi dealer replaced it under warranty after inspection. A loan car was supplied without any argument. Very satisfied with the service.
What's most practical about your car?
It's a roadster so practicability was low down on the priority list. However the boot is capable of taking the luggage for two for a weeks touring without having to leave any of my wife's shoes behind. No small achievement!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Cruise control and electric heated seats.
