really, that would be nice, cause im curious as to how the two drive

im sure the audi would be a much better ride since its newer


and honestly ive been doing more research and its not that hard to find one for 10 grand, its gonna have about 90-110k miles on it, but im not really worried about the miles

A lot of guys hereare running strong with over 100k.

You will hear a lot about timing belt every 60k miles, and electrical problems. Other than that, I don't think there are too many problems with this car as long as maintenance is taken care of.

Most of the electrical problems are either fixed by replacing a bulb, relay, or switch. Or they are just annoying like having to resest your windows, or keyless entry once every few weeks.

I've had mine for almost 15k miles now. The only thing I've had to replace was the coolant temp. sensor, and 1 taillight bulb.
I also have 1 headlight that won't go on when it's cold unless I flick the switch 10-15 times until it lights up.

The taillight bulb made my cluster, radio, headlights, and tails go out when I put my left turn signal on, but only when my fog lights were on. Something stupid like that can really scare you in this car. I replaced it, and no problems.

You'll find a few dozen horror stories that ended up being something stupid like the hazard switch.

Welcome to audiforums

The TT is a great car if you put the time in to care for it. Lots of oil changes and reading up on MODS. That actually what attracts me to audi's. They need care, and the more TLC you put into them the more they reward you...

[sm=sorry.gif] Haha... I'll be nice.

What's funny is we might be stealing him from the s2000 board, and they might be stealing me in return.

Good Trade for you guys

I'm looking into leasing an s2000, depends on what they can do on my trade-in.
