2010 Audi TT Review

September 24, 2009

STYLING | 8 out of 10

Expert Quotes:

greatly improves on the previous model
Consumer Reports

no longer just a pretty boy
Motor Trend

crisper lines
Kelley Blue Book

interior...is beautifully built
Edmunds

Audi introduced the TT coupe and convertible in 1999, and its Art Deco-inspired style made a much deeper impression than its less impressive performance. In 2008 came a redesign-and with it, more muted, masculine lines and surfaces, more side sculpting, a lower nose, and LED detailing. Car and Driver labels the Audi TT as "unique among sports cars," and Edmunds.com says the TT has the "low-slung look and feel of a sports car." Kelley Blue Book admires the latest version's "crisper lines," while Motor Trend points out the TT is "no longer just a pretty boy."

With the 2008 redesign, the TT's cockpit loses its grabby circular theme, and now faces the driver and passenger with a flight-inspired set of knobs, switches, and LCD screens with a distinctly masculine appeal. It's sleeker for sure, though less distinctive. Cars.com likes the "aluminum interior trim," and Kelley Blue Book hails the "contemporary design, premium materials," which make it another addition to Audi's line of "standout interiors." Edmunds says the seat and steering wheel design give the "interior a sporty feel." The flat-bottomed steering wheel helps the driver get into and out of the car, but Kelley Blue Book reports that it "mostly just looks cool." The TTS gets a host of other improvements inside to match its dressed-up exterior, including "more brushed aluminum, gray-faced instruments whose white needles perform a fashionable flick before start-up, and handsome Alcantara-and-leather seats," according to Motor Trend.

Conclusion

A fashion plate no more, the 2010 Audi TT has a sporting stance, contemporary details, and cool good looks.

Other Choices:

The 2010 Audi TT's versatility in body styles is matched by a few sports coupes, though none can top its variety of drivetrains. The new Nissan 370Z cuts length to gain in style, handling, and ride quality, but it's still rough and noisy compared to the TT. The Mercedes-Benz SLK has a folding hardtop, a technically interesting style, and a hot AMG performance edition, but the Audi TTS has a lighter, nimbler feel. It's probably out of the question for badge snobs, but if a base Porsche Boxster is still too expensive, a fully optioned TTS still checks in below $50,000.
