For The Audi TT 1.8 TFSI Sport is the cheapest model in the range by a long way, yet it’s as classy and brilliant to drive as any other TT. It’s usefully quick, too.
Against In 1.8 TFSI trim the Audi TT doesn’t provide quite the same thrill as the 2.0 TFSI model; it’s not as blisteringly quick and doesn’t sound as intoxicating.
The Audi TT 1.8 TFSI Sport is an incredibly appealing car, although we think it’s worth the price premium for the 2.0 TFSI version’s extra sparkle. Just.
Audi’s TT has been a huge success for the company, and it’s not difficult to see why. In either coupe or roadster guise, the Audi TT offers an inexpensive and appealing way to get into premium-badged sports car ownership.
The wide range of engines consists largely of turbocharged four-cylinder units, although the flagship model is the TT RS, with its 335bhp 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbo engine. There’s even a turbodiesel available for those wanting their TT motoring as economical as possible. Our pick, though, is the fast and flexible 208bhp 2.0-litre petrol.
All but the entry-level petrol models come with Audi’s Quattro four-wheel drive, but we prefer the front-driven versions. Most can be specified with the swift and smooth S tronic semi-automatic transmission. Beautifully finished inside and out, any Audi TT is an enjoyable ownership proposition.
