First Take

2000 brought the debut of the TT, Audi's striking sports coupe. Unlike many sports cars, the TT has a small rear seat. Initially, it came only with front-wheel drive; the Quattro all-wheel-drive option is now available, and a convertible model that comes with a 225-hp engine. A gutsy 1.8-liter turbocharged Four producing 180 hp connects to a five-speed manual transmission. New front-wheel-drive models have suspension revisions and electronic stability control. The interior is finished with aluminum, stainless steel, and leather. The TT's closest competitor in price is the new Honda S2000 roadster, which is sportier.

Model History

2016-2023

2016 Redesign Year

Redesigned for 2016, the TT coupe and convertible got a 220-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder, while the TTS featured a 292 hp version. The six-speed automated manual transmission swaps gears quickly, but some vibration is noticeable at very low speeds. The car feels nimble and entertaining, diving into corners with enthusiasm and a dash of steering feedback. The ride is firm, but not punishing, and noise is kept at bay. Inside the snug interior is Audi's new customizable 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, which replaces all conventional gauges and the typical mid-dash screen. HVAC and seat-heat controls are all incorporated into the different dash vents. Overall, the TT is more about style and technology than visceral sporty performance. For 2018, a new 400-hp, 2.5-liter 5-cylinder turbo RS performance version joins the line. 2023 is the TT's final year.

2008-2015

2008 Redesign Year

The TT's 2008 redesign gave it crisper handling and a less punishing ride. Power comes from a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, a 3.2-liter V6 (which was dropped after 2009), or a higher-output 2.0-liter turbo four. Owing to its VW Golf roots, the TT can never really be considered a sports car, but it does have its high points in terms of overall dynamics. The 2012 update brought even better handling and more impressive limits. As always, the interior is outstanding in terms of quality and distinctly designed. Heated seats were made standard for 2015.

2000-2007

2000 Redesign Year

Throughout most of its life, the TT has been offered as a coupe or convertible with front- or all-wheel drive. Though the early models are artfully styled and well finished, handling isn't exactly up to the standards of sports cars. For the initial versions of the car, the standard engine was a noisy 180-hp turbo four-cylinder matched with a five-speed manual. AWD models got a gutsier, but still-noisy 225-hp engine and a six-speed manual transmission. Ride quality is very stiff and owing to the handsome, but closed-in styling, outward visibility is poor. A 250-hp V6 with a choice of a six-speed automatic transmission, or an automated manual arrived in 2004.
