The car is cherry red, easy to spot, and a good looking car despite being 16 years old. As a first car for high school, it was magnificent. It god the job done while looking good too. It had gas mileage that suited my needs, which was about 18 mpg city and 23 mpg highway. It had a five speed manual transmission. I bought it and it just had its clutch replaced making the gear changes very smooth. Its little turbo made it very "zippy" and agile.

I loved the low roof line which made the side windows appear slim compared to most cars. The TT was not quick off the line but would accelerate after the turbo kicked in. There was plenty of head room and space inside the car and I'm 6' tall. The styling was nice with the brushed aluminum trim around the air vents and especially the little silver garage door that covered the stereo when not in use. I had that security idea before the Audi TT introduced it. The shape and overall look was beautiful. I always got excited before driving. The silver color was a bright almost white silver which was perfect. I always got more respect on the road with this car such as people giving me the right of way, and I never got a door ding or outside damage on the exterior. The seats were very comfortable especially when I drove long distances. I got a lot of compliments from friends and strangers when I would drive my TT. The stereo sounded great except for the Bose speakers which (to me) would have sounded better if they used Infinity speakers.

I love it because it is a very reliable vehicle. It is fast and goes very much with my style.
