Recent models have reliability issues, dealer service not as good as it used to be.
General Comments
I am nearly three years into owning my second Audi TT R, a 225 bhp. Performance and handling are superb, specification; styling and value for money are unbeatable. My first TT (180bhp) was totally reliable my second has been plagued with electrical problems, a faulty rear window heater, electric comfort pack replacement, windows opening after setting the alarm, alarm problems, 2 coil replacements, power steering issues, etc. The quality of dealer service has
declined. I feel that the popularity of the TT has caused problems in maintaining build quality while meeting increased production volumes. I still love the car but have been more than a little disappointed with my Friday afternoon model!
