Audi TT years to avoid
Too few Audi TT model years have a complete complaint window to rank them: 2 of the 5 needed.
The ranking uses owner complaints in each model year's first years on the road, adjusted for NHTSA's complaint volume for that model year. It is not adjusted for sales and is not a reliability rating. Method
