Cars.com cites the Audi TT 2009's "Side-impact airbags, side curtain airbags (coupe), antilock brakes, electronic stability system." Edmunds.com notes that the "hill-hold feature" now comes standard on all Audi TT 2009 models.

Another feature of the Audi TT 2009, per Consumer Reports, is the standard "stability control."

Conclusion

The 2009 Audi TT has all of the trappings of a safe car, but no crash-test ratings are available to back it up.

An all-wheel-drive option in even the 2.0 models is something to consider for those who must travel in adverse weather conditions. The Mercedes SLK55 AMG offers high performance and driveability, but the Audi TTS has a lighter, nimbler feel and possibly appeals to those who might consider the base Porsche Boxster.
