The Audi TT Quattro Base for 2002: Improving on 2001
In 2002 Audi released the TT Quattro Base to the car-buying market. The TT Quattro came in two configurations: Base and ALMS Edition. The Base configuration is powered by the 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, which makes 31 highway miles and 22 city. The TT Quattro competes in the Convertible market segment, in direct competition with Kia.
Audi TT Quattro Engine Specs
The TT Quattro Base is equipped with a Volkswagen 1.8 liter four-cylinder engine that utilizes 20 valves. The engine is mated to a Volkswagen 5-speed Transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Audi.
The TT Quattro uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.
TT Quattro Base Statistics
The dimensions of the TT Quattro Base are 73.10 inches wide by 159.10 inches long. It sits a comfortable 53.00 inches off the ground. It seats a standard two passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 95.40 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $33,200 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $29,893. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Convertible.
Fuel Efficiency
The 2002 TT Quattro's traditional fuel system runs on gas. The fuel is regulated electronically, with a fuel-injected multi-port fuel injection (MFI) style of design. The fuel tank holds 14.50 gallons.
The TT Quattro Base received a miles-per-gallon rating of twenty two in-city driving and thirty one when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.
In Summary
The 2001 model began the promise of the Audi TT Quattro. The 2002 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Audi hopes that the TT Quattro Base will continue to be a profitable vehicle.
