2018 Audi TT vs. Its Competition

2018 Audi TT RS
Kirk Bell Kirk Bell Senior Editor

The Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class roadster, complete with retractable hardtop, is a primary rival to the TT, though it feels more mature, more comfortable, and more luxurious.

The 362-horsepower Mercedes-AMG SLC43 competes with the TTS, though it’s a roadster while the TT is a coupe.

The BMW Z4 has become more of a touring car as it ages, and it is significantly more expensive.

The Porsche 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman are purpose-built sports cars, but they are also comfortable; they more closely compete with the TTS and TT RS.

For value and fun in a roadster package, you can’t beat the Mazda MX-5 Miata.
