Hey guys, I am in the market for a new 2003 Audi TT, roadster or coupe. I have yet to decide which yet. I was hoping for some opinions from current owners about selecting the all important color of the car. I am leaning towards dolomite gray or moro blue, but still have my eye on brilliant black and ocean blue. Brilliant red is also nice, but perhaps a bit TOO red. What do ya'll think?

 

I waited until Moro Blue was available in 2002 before I bought ... no regrets.

 

Of course, this is very personal and subjective. See them in person and buy whatever moves you.

 

I have an Amulet Roadster, which I love. But, then, I have always had red cars though this is the first time I actually chose red.

The Brilliant Red looks great on the roadster, but I don't like it on the coupe--you're right, it's a little TOO red. I saw a Brilliant Red Roadster in the bright sunshine, though, and I thought it looked fantastic--actually made me a little jealous.

When it comes to the other colors, though, I fall back on my old standby:

<B>Silver:</B> Silver looks good. The problem with silver is that <I>everybody</I> thinks silver looks good. Why buy such a distinctive car as the TT and then get the same color as all the other cars on the road? I don't just mean TTs, by the way. You really want your striking silver TT compared with that silver Expedition?

Also, the salesperson I bought the TT from had a silver TT and he complained that people kept cutting in front of him because they couldn't see him. Conjecture, granted, but it may be something to think about.

<B>Black:</B> Black looks great! However, you'd better expect to start a second career keeping it clean because the dirt really shows up and it shows up fast. So unless you're willing to devote time and effort (and/or money) to keeping it looking great, I'd steer clear of black.

By the way, an advantage to amulet: when it gets dirty, it just becomes a darker red. The dirt doesn't show up as clearly as it does with black.

The Moro Blues that I've seen are fine, but I don't find them that exciting. To each their own. Dolomite grey might work--I've only seen pictures on the web--but I'd be a bit concerned about the dirt. Ocean Blue looks like a good bet.

Oh, by the way, don't let people tell you that silver is the fastest color. It's definitely amulet. :^)

 

I live in Atlanta, GA.

 

I can't decide which.

(Yes, I'm buying a preowned TT)

UUUGGGHHH!!! Such a hard decision...

I think it is important to see them in person. At one point, I wanted the Amulet Red. When I saw it in person, it was more of a "lipstick red" than I thought it would be, and I decided against it.

Obviously, I have nothing against Amulet Red, and I think it looks nice. The obvious point is that I wasn't sure what I wanted until I saw a few different colors in person.

 

Anyone but the black.

 

Red is nice but lots of cars are red. The blue is pure class, go for blue interior if possible.

 

well said,otte
