While the base front-wheel drive Audi TT may not be the pick of the range for enthusiasts, who will at least want the Quattro badge, it’s actually a very good car.
Besides, if you ignore the diesel, the smallest petrol engine you can get it with is a 2.0-liter turbo with 227 hp – that paired with a manual six-speed gearbox should prove entertaining.
Carbuyer recently tested the base petrol TT, and while the review is not the clearest one we’ve seen from the British outfit, we do gather it’s a great car. Points of praise are the interior, which excels both in terms of design and level of gadgetry, as well as the improved efficiency and performance all-round.
The back seat is still not usable for full-sized adults, but it can fit two child seats with ease – you can still get away with driving something sporty even if you have small kids. Also, if efficiency is your main concern and you just like the looks and the badge, the 2.0-liter TDI diesel averages a claimed 4.2 l/100km or 56 mpg US.
