I purchased my 2009 Audi TT 5 years ago, with 15,000 miles on it. It still has fewer than 70,000 miles on it, but I've have a LOT of repairs in the past six months. A leaky gasket in March cost me $2600 in labor. It ran roughly and my dealer charged me $700 to replace the plugs and coils and to tell me to drive it more and add a fuel additive to it. This week, my driver's side window will not open.

My brother says this car is a money pit and I should ditch it. But I love it and want to believe my recent problems have been a fluke and that I won't have any other problems for awhile. A friend pointed out that this is a touring car, meant to be driven 200 miles on the weekend and not an everyday car.

What's your experience with your older TT? How long have you driven it and has it been simply a money pit or should I keep my sexy TT? Many thanks!
