Audi TT - What the Auto
Press Says
The 2010 Audi TT ranks 9
out of 9 Luxury Sports Cars.
This ranking is based on our
analysis of 44 published
reviews and test drives of
the Audi TT, and our
analysis of reliability and
safety data.
The 2010 Audi TT is
attractive, luxurious and
sporty. However, many of its
rivals provide greater
sports performance. "For
those interested in a little
sport coupe or convertible
that offers luxury, style
and all-weather traction,
the 2010 Audi TT won't
disappoint." "However, those
in search of a true sports
car should probably look
elsewhere."
Compared to other luxury
sports cars, the 2010 Audi
TT is no back-road burner.
It is, however, an enticing
choice. In addition to its
unique, attention-grabbing
exterior design, the 2010
Audi TT features a lavish
interior cabin and standard
all-wheel drive system. It
may not hold its own in
street races, but the 2010
Audi TT's balanced handling
dynamics make it comfortable
to drive on a daily basis.
"Audi TT is a luxury tourer
that's closer to being a
true sports car than the
previous generation was,
especially in TTS trim,"
writes Consumer Guide.
"While Porsche's Boxster and
Cayman might ultimately be
sportier, the TT's more
civilized demeanor might be
just the thing for more
casual motoring."
Other Sports Cars to
Consider
While the 2010 Audi TT is
an attractive package,
shoppers in the market for
more punch are better served
looking elsewhere. The 2010
Porsche Boxster and Cayman,
for example, offer more
horsepower and sportier
handling dynamics. And
though many car shoppers
will write them off as being
too expensive, their
starting price is actually
close to that of the 2010
Audi TTS.
Shoppers more impressed
with sporty looks than real
sports performance should
check out the 2010 Infiniti
G37 coupe and convertible.
All-wheel drive is available
on the G37, but not standard
or on the convertible.
However, the drop-top G37
does feature an automatic
retractable hard-top. The
2010 Audi TT convertible, on
the other hand, does not.
Details: 2010 Audi TT
Though the TT carries
into the 2010 model year
mostly unchanged, the 3.2
models have been
discontinued. The 2010 TT is
available in two trims, the
base 2.0 and TTS. Shoppers
can opt for either coupe or
convertible body styles.
Audi's Quattro all-wheel
drive system is standard.
