2004 Audi TT Quattro Coupe Over 25 years in production and three generations, the Audi TT can rightly claim its place as a piece of iconic automotive design. It pioneered retromodern styling in the years before the millennium, reflecting society's aching nostalgia balanced against the excitement of a new era ahead. The results were striking. The sports car's knockout style shook up the establishment when it entered series production in 1998. This was a revolutionary design, inspired by the Bauhaus aesthetic movement sired in Germany and instantly rendered the mainstream competition old hat. Carmagazine.co.uk For consignment, a 2004 Audi TT Quattro coupe with a title verified 45,677 actual miles. Car manufacturers have different names and ways to express the presence of all wheel drive. Audi proclaims, quattro isn't just an all wheel drive system-it's what makes an Audi an Audi. Combining exceptional driving dynamics with extraordinary traction and efficiency, quattro creates a driving experience like no other. Exterior It was likely the most common color and almost always used in the press materials for the car, Light Silver Metallic adorns this round edged specimen of a sporty, light enough to allow the subtle body lines to shine through, such as the slight flared fenders, the character lines on the hood, and that's about it. The rest is a streamlined assembly of panels and flush mounted headlights and tail lights, groundbreaking at the time and still unique by today's standards. Styling really shines on the rear fascia which includes a gentle wing, integrated valance, and twin tail pipes that are sculpted in while 18-inch wheels add to the modern profile, wrapped in ZR rated tires. The body is straight and clean but there are typical love marks for a 22 year old car. Various scuffs particularly on the rear corners, chipped center cap and wheel paint, a few rock chips up front, and the typical chin scrapes. Interior Design focus is carried to the inside where leather bound door panels include circular details on the handles and a tight, netted map pocket. The front black leather bucket seats are as sporty as you'll find and other than a small tear and some light wear on the driver's side, remain in very nice shape. 2+2 seating in the back is tight and accommodated by plump stuffed seats that are in very good condition. Things get serious up front where an ergonomic steering wheel with the pervasive riveted circle design fronts a purposeful instrument cluster with basic dials and digital readouts. Push buttons, circle of course, occupy the center along with a nicely covered AM/FM/CD radio and typical A/C panel. The stout shifter is ultra cool, riveted design included, and based in a rubber boot that resembles the one on the CV joint and artistic cup holders are also on the console over clean black carpet with protective weather mats. Up top, the gray headliner and console are clean and the surprisingly roomy trunk is completely finished in clean gray carpet. Drivetrain Here we find the midrange option for 2004, the 1.8 liter DOHC turbo inline four cylinder pumping out 225 horsepower and mated to the 6-speed manual transmission. 3.94 gears are found in front and rear axles and power is routed between them. The bay presents cleanly and intact. Undercarriage Dry conditions are found on what we'd call a driver quality undercarriage with surface rust and metal oxidation present but nothing structural or deeper than that. The single exhaust finds the original muffler in back which emits two tail pipes that exit with chrome tips. Four wheel power disc brakes are in play and suspension is independent front and rear with Macpherson struts and multi link respectively. Drive-Ability This compact 2+2 was touted for their design, but consumers soon learned of their pleasant driving characteristics which we found during our brief time on the test loop. The car has plenty of pep, straight tracking, and hitt
