Audi TT 2.0 T-FSI: Motoring preview

Probably the best car available as of today is reviewed by AutoExpress: the Audi TT!

The flat-bottomed, RS4-style steering wheel is great to hold, and the TT feels like a more driver-focused car. And that's exactly what it is, with far sharper responses than those of its predecessor. Thanks to a spaceframe construction comprising 69 per cent aluminium and 31 per cent steel, torsional rigidity has increased by 50 per cent. Add the all-new suspension design, and the result is impressive.

Stability at speed is excellent, while the steering is accurate and fluid. And although the 2.0T does without four-wheel drive, grip levels are good, with traction to match the best hot hatches around. Our test car was fitted with the £1,150 Magnetic Ride adaptive suspension, which gives impressive body control and a comfortable ride.

More relaxing and refined and yet fun to drive, the new TT is dynamically outstanding and the 2.0T FSI engine really suits it, with decent low-down punch and enough performance to raise a smile. Whichever TT you choose, prepare to be impressed.
