Seller Summary:

History of the TT:
Vehicle Overview
Audi leaped into the sports car league with a passion, turning from its usual sedans and wagons toward a surprisingly shapely, low-slung TT series. Anyone whose heads were turned by the curvaceous TT was likely to encounter a waiting list at the dealership due to prominent publicity and instant popularity of the new model. Audi recalled the TT in late 1999 after complaints in Germany about high-speed instability. Dealers then installed anti-roll bars and a rear spoiler on previously sold models.
Introduced in the spring of 1999 as a 2000 model, the TT front-drive 2+2 coupe was joined one year later by a two-passenger convertible roadster. Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive system has been available on the TT since summer 2000. New for 2001 coupes is a 225-horsepower version of the standard turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, which otherwise produces 180 hp. That engine debuted previously under roadster hoods.
A lateral-skid control system called the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) also has been added for 2001. TT coupes and convertibles ride a shortened version of the chassis used by the Audi A4 sedan, Volkswagen Golf, Jetta and New Beetle. But suspension tuning is different for the TT. Audi sold 12,027 coupes and roadsters during 2000, according to Automotive News.
Exterior
Despite its shared chassis and an overall profile that hints at the New Beetle, the TT flaunts unique rounded styling with an integrated, attention-grabbing appearance from stem to stern. Straight lines occur only along the sides of its body, between the front and rear wheels. The 225-hp models get 225/40YR17 tires vs. 205/55WR16 rubber for front-drive cars.
Quattro-equipped roadsters have a power top, while the front-drive convertibles get a manually operated fabric roof; power operation is an option for front-drive models. All convertibles have a power retractable glass wind blocker mounted between the structural roof bars, which are located behind the headrests. The wind blocker goes up when the top is down to reduce turbulence within the open TT's interior. Containing a glass back window with a defogger, the roadster's fabric top stows behind the seats.
Interior
Front occupants sit low to the ground in the TT, which makes it necessary to twist and turn when entering and exiting the coupe due to the sloping roof pillars. A backseat exists, but it's essentially a token space -- not seriously intended for use by passengers unless they happen to be children.
Standard equipment includes leather upholstery, automatic air conditioning, variable-assist power steering, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, cruise control, a theft-deterrent system, height-adjustable front bucket seats and a split, folding rear seat. Optional on the roadster is red amber leather with unique "baseball glove" stitching along the seams. Audi's navigation system, which lacks a video screen, is optional.
Under the Hood
An automatic transmission is not available with any TT. The base front-drive models come with a turbocharged, 180-hp, 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a five-speed-manual transmission. Choose a higher-performance model with the 225-hp engine and you get a six-speed instead. Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive system is standard with the 225-hp engine and optional in coupes with the 180-hp engine. The lower-powered engine also is found in Audi's A4 sedan and in some Volkswagen models.
Safety
In addition to dual front airbags, all TT models have front head/chest side-impact airbags. All-disc antilock brakes are standard. Traction control is included in front-drive models, and a lateral-skid control system called Electronic Stability Program is standard on all models.

Audi UrQuattro gets the Petrolicious narrative
Tue, 23 Sep 2014Audi started a revolution in the world of rallying when it paired an all-wheel-drive system with a turbocharged, five-cylinder engine and a rakish, three-door body. That car, the Quattro, didn't just upset the entire balance of the World Rally Championship, it (eventually) led to a transformative effect on the consumer car market.
But we're not just interested in this car simply because history has proven the UrQuattro to be important - we love its sharply creased looks, its offbeat soundtrack and its gravel-spitting abilities. Evidently, so does the crew from Petrolicious, as they've lavished their lenses upon the car. This particular model hails from 1983, and has covered a healthy 175,000 miles, says owner Manuel Leon Minassian. His first experience with the Ur (meaning "original") came in Beirut, where the car received plenty of praise from students at his school.
That first encounter led to a long passion for the Quattro, culminating in his purchase of this car four years ago. Take a look at Minassian and his Audi in the latest video from Petrolicious.
US diesel model count to double for 2014?
Fri, 23 Aug 2013While diesel cars are popular on most other continents, these less-complex alternative to hybrid-electric vehicles have yet to gain major traction in the US. As an increasing number of light cars and trucks start to offer these fuel-efficient engines, though, sales are expected to climb as well. While BMW, Mercedes-Benz and the Volkswagen Group (Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche) continue to lead the way, more non-German automakers like Mazda, Nissan, Chrysler and General Motors are starting to get serious about diesel in America.
TheDetroitBureau.com reports that the 2014 model year will see the number of diesel vehicles offered in the US double to about 40 nameplates, but the news gets even better for fans of these torquey and efficient powerplants. LMC Automotive has released data about future expectations of diesel cars in the US, and it predicts that sales should be very close to one million units in 2015 (up from an expected 600,000 units this year). By 2018, LMC's calculations suggest that sales will more than double from this year's expected totals accounting for almost 8 percent of new light-vehicle sales.
Car and Driver lists 10Best for 2013, same as it ever was
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.
