TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 Audi TT isn't quite a pure sports car, but its driver-centric interior design, leaner driving character, and everyday practicality provide an ideal sweet spot for the real world.

The 2017 Nissan 370Z has a classic sports-car shape, excellent sports-car handling, and a tuned Nismo track weapon in its lineup.

TCC Likes

Futuristic performance-car cabin layout
Lean, nimble driving feel
All-weather tractability

In base trims, can be a good value
Rev-matching downshifts feel heroic
Strong pull from V-6

TCC Dislikes

Passenger can't access infotainment
Exterior design doesn't go anywhere new
Noisier, busier ride without magnetic dampers

Small cabin
Not much cargo room
Engine and tire noise
