2010 Audi TT Safety Review

September 24, 2009

SAFETY | 8 out of 10

The 2010 Audi TT retains a high safety score from the editors of TheCarConnection.com, though crash tests haven't yet been performed.

Neither NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) nor the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) has crash-tested the Audi TT. The car's safety rating from TheCarConnection.com's experts comes from strong crash performance across the Audi lineup, as well as a lengthy list of standard equipment.

Cars.com notes some of the TT's safety features include "side-impact airbags, side curtain airbags (coupe), antilock brakes, electronic stability system." Edmunds says a "hill-hold feature" is standard, and prevents rollback when paused on inclines.

Optional safety features, Kelley Blue Book says, include "backup sensors" and "Bi-xenon Adaptive Headlights."

Conclusion

The 2010 Audi TT scores well for safety despite the lack of formal crash-test data.

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.
