2008 Audi TT 2.0T Review
2008 Audi TT represents the second generation. Although slightly larger, the second-generation TT doesn’t stray too far from the timeless lines of its predecessor. The general look is the same, though character lines are crisper and the nose adopts Audi’s now signature single-frame grille. Although longer and wider than the first TT, the latest version is lighter (by nearly 200 pounds in the case of the roadster) thanks to increased use of aluminum in the body structure. It also offers a more powerful four-cylinder engine.
Two trim levels — 2008 Audi TT (200-horsepower turbocharged four with front-wheel drive) and 3.2 Quattro (250-hp V6 with all-wheel drive) — are offered in a choice of hatchback coupe and roadster body styles. Transmission choices include a six-speed manual and a six-speed S tronic twin-clutch sequential transmission that offers the ease of an automatic combined with the quick response of a manual. (Formerly, the S tronic was known as the Direct Shift Gearbox, or DSG.)
On the road, the 2.0T feels more agile through a set of curves, as it has less weight on the front tires, while the 3.2 Quattro delivers more punch on straightaways along with a more aggressive engine and exhaust sound. The 2.0T is actually the more athletic of the two, as its quick-revving four-cylinder engine, whooshing turbocharger and light-effort, nimble steering combine to deliver a strong sporting impression.
One of the TT’s most notable assets is its superbly crafted interior, which entices with a look that is sleek and modern. Another is its sculpted exterior design. The TT also offers an impeccable sequential-shift manual transmission, and great hatchback utility when purchased in the coupe iteration. Its primary downside concerns the fact that its handling is less precise than that offered by some of its rear-drive competitors.
