Is there a 180TTQ Roadster?

Is it true that the only quattro version of the Roadster in The US and Canada is the 225HP version?

Also does anyone have information on the quality of the fabric top and door seals, e.g., how would they stand up in cold winter weather, what happens if the doors freeze.

Oh yes....

There sure is.. I had the pleasure of test driving both the 180 and the 225 TTQRs. An exceptional ride on both models.

The retractable roofs fabric looked pretty waterproof to me. I tested the 180TTQR in a hail storm which was shortly followed by a massive down pour which soaked the whole of the area. The TT was lovely and dry, whith no signs of leakage

what are the performance differences?

Since there is a weight increase going from FWD to Q in the coupe and another increase for the Roadster what are the performance differences between the 180TTQR and the 225TTQR?
