First Impressions and pics...
I picked up my TT Quattro yesterday.<br>First impressions, more room inside that anyone perceives. I'm 6'2" 180 lbs and I'vbe got plenty of room and headroom.<br>Second, it's very tight and has plenty of power.<br>Third, It handles exceptionally.<br>Fouth, 1st gear is useless because it's so high, seems like a waste of a shift. I've been starting out in second gear.<br>I took a slew of pics and they're posted on my website... http://www.rpmcafe.com/audi-tt.cfm<ul><li><a href="http://www.rpmcafe.com/audi-tt.cfm">Audi TT Quattro Pictures</a></li></ul>

<br>Pretty car. My only concern wit black, besides the fact that you have to wash it daily, is that it make the car look a tad short and squat.<p>I am most impressed with your pics. How do you get them on your sight so large without having to be blown up? I will listen.<p>Good luck with your car.

Re: First Impressions and pics...
the car is short and squat : that's why it looks that way...<p>the pics were taken with a Kodak DC 210 Digital Camera and originally 1024 X 768. I reduced them in size to make the images a more reasonable size for downloading from the net.... <p>- jeff

Jeff,<br>I agree with Denny....nice to finally see the Quattro badges! I'm in the queue to order a 180Q myself (silver/ebony), so I'm especially interested in your photos & observations about the car.<p>I also have a DC 210 digital camera...nice, aren't they?<p>Thanks again for the hard working taking & posting all the shots!<br>Janet

Re: Quattro vs. FWD, 1st gear ratio and starting in 2nd.
1st gear has a quite normal ratio, to allow both good acceleration and a practical idle speed in dense traffic. The Q has a shorter 1st gear ratio, not because it's heavier but mainly because Q allows putting more push to the ground, giving improved low gear acceleration.
The Q has a more refined rear suspension, and is supposed to be tuned to more ambitious driving. All this said, I agree the FWD is (also) just fine!
Starting in 2nd will increase clutch wear because you'll have to slip the clutch more.
