differences between 2001 and 2003 TT?
I currently have a 2001 225hp TT, which has been having some significant reliability problems over the past two years. I'm thinking of trading up to a 2003 225hp TT, but I don't know if I'll be buying into the same sorts of issues (power window issue, power steering fluid leaking, fuel gauge faulty, major coolant leaks).
1) Can someone tell me if there are any/many differences between the 2001 and the 2003 TTs?
2) Any comment on the overall reliability of your TT?

I'll take a leap of faith and say the '03 is incrementally better than your '01....
My '02 TTQR got a new computer in the first few months, had a power window drop and not raise until it was restarted, the radio still goes red when I wash the car sometimes (pulling the fuse does the trick to reset), and it's had a few other little electronic gremlins. I think it's a bit of a stretch but from everything I've read and heard, Audis are like German Jaguars (everything being relative of course - not that I'd take Lucas over Audi electronics).

In dash CD (with better controls & mid range level),
no nub on the roof (cell-phone ant), home-link remote control unit, oval rear-view mirror, no Audi sport logo on steering wheel, much more solid, ASC and my 2002 (not 2003) has much better low-end engine response/torque than my 2001 did. I assume that the 2003 will be similarly better....

All areas are better, tighter, crisper, even better fit and finish, sound is better, more . . .
convenience items, IE homelink, CD, V60 phone, improved sat nav -- 18" and alcantara wheels/steering wheel.
Overall an evolution of the breed in a positive sense.
Check out the upcoming VW Rs32, however -- $11K less than a TT with the same 3.2L 6, under der bonnet!
We like the 03 225TT better than the 01 -- but other than a power window motor failure in the 01, really no complaints after the first set of crap tires (replaced by Audi, BTW).
