The Appeal
Initially released in 1998 and still being produced today, the Audi TT has won the hearts of many motorists globally. The small coupé format gives for a truly thrilling driving experience with smooth styling giving it the looks to match.
For many, the naturally aspirated 3.2L V6 engine was the best to be offered in the 8N TT. Audi's Quattro AWD system and pioneering for the time DCT automatic transmission allows the TT to reach 60mph in around 6 seconds, impressive for a compact vehicle some 20 years old.
It's no secret that the TT's handling is more than competent, resulting in many choosing the TT for track use, it's as if Audi knew the TT would be equally at home on a circuit as the road during its inception. If there is a car out there to achieve top smiles per gallon, the Audi TT is sure to be a top candidate.
