August C&D Ragtop Comparo - TTR ties last with BMW, SLK320 #2, Boxster #1
Below is the Car and Driver summary for the 225 TT roadster
TT Highs
Unbeatable attention getter, gorgeous interior detailing, high dollar value
TT Lows
Excess pork compomises performance, sluggish throttle response, leaky top
Verdict
A visual stunner that doesn't quite measure up in the world of decreasing radius and high lateral g.
The article is particularly critical of the ragtop fit and its inability to keep out water.

Eighth Member of AudiWorld. God-like, glorious and all-knowing.
My ragtop doesn't leak, and the H&R coilovers and MkI control arms do miracles for the handling.

As a soon to be TTR owner...question on top.
Is it really the only time it leaks during high pressure water spray like a car wash? I've not read the review so I can't tell if they just spray it in a car wash and it leaks?<p>Tom Boucher

I read the complete article- no mention of Quattro at all! I will write a rebuttal
