New Audi TT Roadster 2015 review - AutoExpress

This is another superb Ultra model from Audi, in a range that probably doesn’t need the help of a super-frugal version. That doesn’t come at the expense of the drive, either – this TT is still huge fun and rewarding, making the petrol quattro versions seem a bit of an extravagance, if still tempting. Assuming you’ve got your head around the concept of an open-top car that’s diesel powered – and there’s no reason why you shouldn’t – the latest Audi TT Roadster is a good shout as the pick of the range. Thanks to its 0-62mph sprint time of 7. 3 seconds – which, incidentally, is the same as the original 1. 8-litre turbo petrol TT’s – and claimed 65. 7mpg economy, smug is a word that springs to mind to describe your feelings if you take the plunge... The lines have been sharpened up, making the previous editions look a little dumpy, but it’s still unmistakably an Audi TT , with plenty of the classic design cues. We’ll come back to the cabin in a bit, but it’s how this latest TT drives that’s impressed us so much. Until the weather turns really horrible, you’ll rarely be wishing for four-wheel drive, as the grip is that impressive. There’s a delicacy to the steering that’s quite unusual in an Audi, too.
