For Drop-top TT motoring for reasonable money, Audi’s entry-level TT roadster is a gem. Fast enough and surprisingly sharp to drive, the 1.8 TFSI is very appealing indeed.

Against As in all its roadster rivals, dropping the roof delivers compromises. The boot loses the practicality of its coupe relative, and there's a good bit more wind noise in the cabin.

4 out of 5 stars

The cheapest way to experience an open-topped TT is by no means the worst. In fact it’s among the most appealing models in the range.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

The Audi TT has been a huge success for Audi, and it’s not difficult to see why. In either coupe or soft-top Roadster guise, the TT offers an inexpensive and appealing way to get into a premium-badged sports car.

A decent amount of standard kit means there’s no need to spend thousands on the (long) list of optional extras. To keep resale values high, though, it’s worth selecting full leather seats on the cheaper models, and the Comfort Package (rear parking sensors, cruise control, automatic lights and wipers) on all versions. If you want to drive with the hood down outside the summer months, you’ll need to specify the heated seats, too.

There’s also a range of servicing and maintenance, and extended-warranty programmes that could slash your costs.
