The small luxury sports car market is relatively tiny, but the TT has a few competitors from both above and below its price bracket.
The Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class is available in roadster form only and is in its last year ever with a dated interior and platform and no replacement on the horizon.
Porsche’s 718 Boxster roadster and Cayman coupe are on the high end of the TT’s price range but offer mid-engine performance pedigree like none other in this class.
The Mazda MX-5 Miata can’t quite hold up to Audi’s quality or luxury features but excels at providing smiles-per-mile.
The Alfa Romeo 4C is even lower-volume than the TT and comes with Italian quirks (and problems) but is hands-down the most unique of the bunch and a lot of fun.
A well-equipped Ford Mustang GT challenges the TTS and even RS for performance at a significant bargain with a bit more usability.
