The 2010 Audi TT isn't known for much backseat room-in the roadster, there aren't any rear seats, in fact-but the high-quality cockpit and roomy trunk fit most reviewers and their luggage well, according to TheCarConnection.com's experts and other respected car-review Web sites.

As you might expect, there's no extravagant space to be found inside, but the TT does have adequate foot and shoulder room for two, either in the coupe or the roadster. Kelley Blue Book notes the new Audi TT is "wider and longer than original TT." Even so, Consumer Reports reminds shoppers that the "coupe has two small rear seats while the convertible seats just two." Most reviewers find enough seat room for adults up front; Kelley Blue Book reports the TT's racing-style flat-bottom steering wheel "provides a touch more leg clearance on entry and exit." In back, it's a more dismal scene for traveling companions;
Consumer Reports describes "two small rear seats," and Edmunds says "they're only suitable for kids." In another review, Edmunds pinpoints the coupe's rear seats as "only suitable for kids, packages or perhaps anorexic D-listers."

The console and glove box are on the tiny side, but the 2010 TT's trunk space is more than roomy for a car of its size in coupe or roadster body styles. Cars.com notes the "13.1-cubic-foot cargo space that grows to 24.7 cubic feet when the rear seats are lowered" and "can carry two golf bags." Edmunds calls the "coupe's hatchback utility" a strong point. With the roadster, Edmunds appreciates a folding top that "enables the car to retain clean lines with the top down" and "keep the car quiet and well-insulated."

Conclusion

The 2010 Audi TT guarantees two comfortable seats and plenty of luggage space-any more, and you'll risk losing friends.

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.
