The TT is enjoyable to drive but isn't as agile or engaging as a Porsche Boxster or Mercedes-Benz SLK. Handling is responsive, and the ride isn't too punishing, but a lot of noise comes through the soft top. The interior is nicely finished, with stylish details. Power comes from a punchy, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. The majority of the TT versions come only with the S-tronic automated manual. The coupe has two small rear seats, while the convertible is strictly a two-seater. A sportier TTS trim is available with the 2.0-liter engine, and the high-performance five-cylinder turbo TT-RS offers V8-like punch and a six-speed manual transmission.
