The quality of materials and the fit and finish are superb, including a trim option with baseball-like stitching similar to that featured on the original TT concept car.
The instrument panel is beautifully laid out, and illuminated in red. The panel and dashboard area in the Audi TT are acknowledged as models of modern industrial design: easy to read, easy to use and understand. There is a decidedly racer-cool look about the simplicity of it all, with touches of stainless around the instrument bezels and air vents and other places, that other manufacturers have since copied for their interiors, all to the good.
One disappointing exception to the clarity of the instruments is the digital readout between the tach and speedo; there are four stacked items, with the radio station info on top and transmission gears on bottom, too small to quickly pick out and half-hidden by the hub of the steering wheel.
