Audi TT 2002

Audi’s ever popular TT which is successful not only among the people who buy and drive them but also among critics of all areas was first launched as a coupe way back in 1998. It only took one year for Audi to release the car in roadster form. Many upgrades, enhancements and a car generation later, the Audi TT has become one of the most popular Audis and coupes of its time for its affordability considering its class and quality as well as its performance which can rival some supercars even.

For the earlier models of the TT, the model did not experience much change until 2003 when it was offered in a new engine variant which is a lot more powerful that came with an all new Quattro 4WD system. They did not even have the highly acclaimed DSG of Audi which was only fitted into the TT from 2004 onwards. However models from the year 2002 do have the upper edge as the car’s handling was improved with Audi’s very own Electronic Stability Program more commonly known as ESP, an additional rear spoiler as well as certain modifications to the car’s suspension.

Although it began life a decade ago, the Audi TT is truly a driving machine even in its 1st generation. With 0-60mph times of 7.4 seconds and 6.4 seconds as well as top speeds of 140mph and 151mph respectively for the two engine variants available for the models before 2003 which are the 180bhp TT and the 225bhp one, the Audi TT definitely set a benchmark for itself and all cars in its class as early as can be.
Despite lacking a few features and equipment than the TTs of 2003 and later, the older models like those of 2002 are still great buys in the used car section and can be bought for considerably cheap prices primarily because of the lack of features and its age. Other than second hand dealers, there are a number of auctions, many of which are online which help prospective buyers get the cheapest and most favorable buys for cars like the TT.

One such auctioning website is audiauctions.com which not only has a category of Audi TTs for auction for prices which start bids at as low as below US$10,000 for a 2002 model but actually specializes in all Audi models. With cheap prices but lots of car for your money, a 2002 Audi TT would be a splendid used car purchase for those who want affordability, performance and style.
