I test drove my wife's new TT today, and we pick it up in the morning. It is a 3.2, silver with red interior, DSG, mag suspension, leather package, adaptive headlights, bluetooth, sat radio. I know there have been a lot of comments good and bad on the new model, but here are mine:

Interior: Great fit and finish. I'm very impressed at the quality for the price. I also own a BMW Z8 and a 911S. To me, the interior is a combination of the two. The plastic aluminum really doesn't bother me. I think some of the MK1 owners bad mouth this because they don't know what else to pick on in the car. Fantastic seats.

Performance/Handling: This is one torquey little beast. It won't run with my other cars for long, but it is quick off the line and impressive power for a 3.2.

Dollars: I got $500 off since I also have an A8 from this dealer. Lease numbers are $859 per month with 10k per year, $2552 initial payment. Here is a surprise to me- the residual is set at $29029 at 36 months and 10k per year. This seems agressive to me, given Audi's depreciation history. The money factor on the lease is .00265 which equates to 6.36%. If you make a one time lease prepayment ($29,519 including taxes/fees), the interest rate drops to about 4%.

Final impression- great car for the price and a real looker in person. This car replaces a MB 500SL with no regrets.

Will do after we pick it up. It is kind of obnoxious, but at least its behind the cup holders.

Maybe I should have bought it there and driven to KC! Anyway, the $50k does not include sales tax, but the lease rates I quoted do include a 7.2% tax- thank God we don't get all the government we pay for!

I am picking up my 08 3.2 DSG for my girlfriend next week.It is replacing her 05 S4 tip. What I can tell you is that this car blows away the old car in drivability and performance.The 3.2 Quattro with the mag suspension feels incredible. Where the 2.0 TT feels quick and solid, this car seems twice the car in how solid and planted it feels. I also test drove the 3.2 Manual and all I can say is WOW! All this performance with AWD and Audi quality makes the competition look and feel obsolete.While I owned and liked the original TT, there just is no comparison.

You have to tip the attendant every time you need a fill up.

Where in Oregon do you live? That's one beautiful state.

You should demand these numbers from the dealer:

2007 Audi TT 3.2 Quattro Coupe
24 Month - Residual 63% of MSRP - .00225 Base Rate
36 Month - Residual 54% of MSRP - .00225 Base Rate

Residuals posted are for 15K miles/year. Add 2% to Residual for 12k mi/yr and 3% for 10k mi/yr on all terms.

I believe you can raise the residual another 1% by getting the Audi scheduled maintenance.
