Audi TT Coupé (06 on) - Review

Review by Simon Harris on
Last Updated: 27 October 2010
Audi's second generation TT is clearly related to its predecessor - but thanks to sleeker lines the coupe has a more aggressive and sporty appearance than before. If any criticism could have been levelled at the original TT, it would have been a lack of interior space and the fact that it was a less rewarding drive than some rivals. Audi has taken both of these factors on board to create a larger but lighter TT Coupe with improved handling and more space inside. The TT should, once again, be top of wish lists for people who want a stylish sports coupe and there's a good choice of engines available including an economical TDI which is capable of 53mpg.

Running costs

Insurance groups are lower than for the previous model, despite the car being quicker while the TDI offers the potential for more than 53mpg in everyday driving. The TT is expected to be best in class for holding its value but servicing isn't cheap, especially at Audi main dealers, although you should receive excellent customer service.

Emissions summary

As you'd expect, the TDI is the greenest model in the line-up - it emits 140g/km of CO2 and is capable of 53mpg. The 2.0 TFSI and TTS models are fairly good too, averaging 37mpg and 35mpg respectively - but the 3.2 V6 is thirsty with a fuel consumption figure of just 27mpg and CO2 emissions of 247g/km.
