2010 Audi TT Review

All 2010 Audi TT models come with quattro all-wheel drive and Audi's S-tronic DSG automatic transmission.

The Audi TT Coupe 2.0T ($37,800) and Roadster 2.0T ($40,800) are powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, generating 200 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque. The 2+2 Coupe has a split-folding rear seat. The two-seat Roadster has a power-folding convertible top.

Standard features include leather/alcantara upholstery, automatic climate control, a tilt-telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel, cruise control, manually adjustable front seats, aluminum interior trim, a 140-watt audio system with nine speakers and a single-CD player, Bluetooth compatibility, fog lights, automatically deploying rear spoiler and 18-inch alloy wheels.

Options are grouped in three packages: Premium Plus ($2,000) adds heated, 10-way power adjustable seats and automatic headlights with Xenon projector beams. Prestige ($4,780) includes Premium Plus, a GPS navigation system with real-time traffic reporting and a loadable hard drive, an audio upgrade with 225 watts, digital processing, 12 speakers and a six-CD changer, and upgraded Silk Nappa leather upholstery. S-Line trim ($2,200) adds 19-inch wheels and a sport-trim body package. Stand-alone options include Audi Magnetic Ride ($1,400); 19-inch wheels ($800); Alcantara inserts and other interior upgrades.

The Audi TTS Coupe ($45,900) and TTS Roadster ($48,900) are powered by a version of 2.0-liter four-cylinder with more turbocharger boost. Output increases to 265 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The racier TTS models are equipped comparably to the standard TTs, though they come standard with Audi Magnetic Ride variable suspension and the S-Line body trim. The TTS is available with the Prestige package ($6,050), which includes 19-inch wheels.

Safety features include front airbags, seat-mounted side airbags for front passengers, protecting both head and thorax, ABS with electronic brake force distribution and brake assist, stability control, active head restraints, and a tire-pressure monitor.
