Why the First Generation Audi TT is Becoming a Future Classic | 1.8L BAM Engine

Had a left hand drive first edition, 2 wheel drive 180bhp German import as they were launched, brilliant futuristic car at the time. It’s up there with the best cars I have ever owned.

My friend had this engine in his mk1 Leon cupra r good engine with good tuning potential in its day

I have a 55k miles Quattro sport mk1 for sale

Just picked one up a month ago. I love it to bits.

I have the exact same model, but in black with black rims; 04 model.

I’m a fan of the mk1 funny never seen one modded like the iRobot film.
Mines a 1999 Quattro 180 in classic silver only just clocked 51k

It looks quite stubby. I'd prefer a used Cayman in that segment.

Bloody beautiful that TT 👌👏

Please feel free to test drive my vr6 iv had all of the mk1s the v6 is the daddy hands down isnt always about speed and out the box the v6 is far better and far nicer place to be pluss launch control 😉

Just bought a BAM 225 , I've had 180's but the 225 is pretty special, currently restoring her , incredibly fun to drive very responsive and has a genuine sports car feel in the cabin 👍🏻👍🏻

So.... "Why IS the first generation Audi TT becoming a future classic?" You reviewed the car, but didn't answer the question.

I just got a 3.2 Roadster convertible. I absolutely love it.

I bought one in May SIlver 1.8 and I am so in love with this car. It is very fun to drive, it gives me very good emotions, elegant inside and out, I love the aesthetics, the mechanics are very good considering that it is from 1999. For me a dream come true, as a curious fact I get the license in October and this is my first own car. The only negative thing I can say is that the speed bumps are very noticeable, but that is because it is a low car, otherwise it is a delight of a car.

Audi TT Mk1s are one of my favorite looking cars ever. I just bought a 2001 roadster in amazing condition in nimbus grey. It’s art. It drives better than my old boxster (Porsche) did, the interior design is just as gorgeous as exterior. It sounds great and love the turbo.

I just picked up a 2002 225 $500 bucks runs and looks minty!

I’ve been an Alfa driver for twenty years and run a GT 3.2V6, but bought a TT 225 last year for a runabout. Absolutely brilliant car! Fitted a RamAir filter and it’s had a Stage 1 remap. Sticks to the road and a hoot to drive. Surprisingly practical too with such a large boot. Negatives; not many. Yes, compared to my Alfa the TT needs to be hustled and pushed to get the best out of it, font end feeling is a bit numb. Overall, for the current prices, it’s an absolute bargain and I’d highly recommend it.

I have the exact same model TT but Black inside and out. 2001 with 42.000m what a peach, love it.

Whoever buys this: REPLACE the oil pump immediately. It's time.

BAM power massively tuneable .. 225 daily drive had her for 4 years belts done and regular serviced .. down pipes changed and stage 1 map 280 bhp ♥️

I got my 2001 tt and I love it.. bought it at 215k miles and it’s still running at 221k! My coworkers couldn’t believe it when I told them it was 23 years old! The tt model is so timeless

Really lovely cars. I have a 2005 reg in jet black 🖤. Garage every night only comes out in the dry. The 😊 Audi mark one shape is just class. 😊

😊my daughter has a 2004 reg in light blue 😊Runs and drives like new 😊

I think is a classic now

The sportiest MK1 TT is the 3.2 S line. I have always loved the MK1 TT.

Great review, is it still up for sale at all?

It's really the 3.2 which will be the classic
