Fabulously distinctive, the TT is one of the most desirable cars of the last decade
Four-wheel drive and turbocharging mean that servicing isn't going to be the cheapest, but Audi dealers have a good reputation for customer care, even if parts can be expensive. A replacement hood for the roadster, for example, is around £5000 - and you need the whole thing replaced if you simply crack the rear glass screen. The desirability of the TT also means insurance is likely to be on the expensive side, unless you're squeaky-clean (in the insurer's opinion) and garage it at night. Add a tracker system to reduce premiums. However, if you opt for a lesser-powered version, the TT should be reasonably affordable, as depreciation is minimal: when you come to sell it you'll make a good return.
