I plan on moving to the philadelphia region and maybe purchasing an
audi tt. does anyone have any experience with this car in cold
weather? can it hold up, or is it purely a warm weather vehicle?
thanks,

No problems here (although I've only driven on "light" snow & ice).

You'll love the heated seats, and wonder what you have to be wearing to have
them on anywhere /near/ full ;o)

My personal "top tip" is to warm the car (with the door locked from the
outside, natch) for about a coffee (universal morning time unit ;o) - that
gives enough time to warm the seat and de-ice the windscreen & hood. Clear,
crisp winter mornings.. mmmmm!

If you are driving a TTR top-down in cold conditions, I'd recommend
well-fitting gloves - the tops of your hands can get quite cold.

Thanks alot for the info guys! Would you happen to know about how much
a new 250hp tt is to lease (in the PA region). I am guessing something
like $2500 down and $450 a month or so for a 2 yr lease. is that
reasonable?

Ho help from me, I'm afraid - I'm in the UK. Maybe one of the US TT
"regulars" can help..?
