The Audi TT is one of the most recognisable shapes on the road, and it also happens to be one of the best coupes you can buy. Audi ended production of its iconic model in 2023, after 25 years of the TT nameplate, but it remains a very popular car on the used market, and as the remaining TTs get older, most still have some way to depreciate, bringing them within reach of even more buyers.
Across the board the TT drives well, despite not having the single-minded focus of some sports car rivals on dedicated platforms. It’s one of few that offers all-wheel drive, and a lineup of turbocharged petrol engines (and diesels, if you look at slightly older TTs) means all perform well. It’s even surprisingly practical - so if you’re mulling swapping a dull hatchback for something with more verve, the TT could be ideal.
The Audi TT has a cast-iron image. The original model launched in the late 1990s was so desirable and in-demand that it pretty much raised the profile of the entire Audi company - it was the true definition of a halo model. Later cars haven’t had quite that impact, but putting a TT on the drive is still a desirable goal.
There’s substance behind the style, so you can also make a case for the TT on more sensible grounds. It’s similar under the skin to an Audi A3, so it’s as easy to drive as any other Audi, even as you ramp up the performance. Even the most basic models are brisk and well-equipped, and if the handling isn’t quite up there with some sports cars on their own dedicated platforms, the TT is still sharp and agile to drive.
The interior is fabulous too. It’s rare in that there’s not a large central touchscreen, but this gives it a considered, minimalist look, and all versions get a Virtual Cockpit instrument display which effectively takes the touchscreen’s place. The driving position is excellent, and while the rear seats are really only usable by small children, the boot is actually a pretty decent size a 305 litres, with a practical hatchback to access it.
Most of the TT’s contemporary rivals are more traditional sports cars, rather than sleek rebodies of hatchbacks, so cars like the Porsche Cayman, BMW Z4, Toyota Supra and GR86, and Alpine A110 are all more involving to drive. All are more compromised in terms of practicality though and only the TT offers all-wheel drive, so the TT remains a unique proposition.
One or two exterior details aside, all Audi TTs share the same great looks, so if you’re buying a TT based primarily on its styling then you lose little by saving some money and opting for the entry-level 40 TFSI engine (or some of the smaller engines and diesel options available in earlier cars) and regular Sport trim. Even the lower-spec cars drive well and have strong performance too, so it’s not like styling is the only benefit. You may need to spend a little more if you want all-wheel drive though, and the choice of models with manual gearboxes was slim when new, so these might take some hunting for. Naturally, the 400-horsepower TT RS is appealing, but even used models are still quite expensive.

Audi wasn’t shy with the TT’s trim levels, and the list below is by no means comprehensive during the car’s 2014-2023 run. As one of Audi’s halo models though you can be assured of a strong level of equipment even at the bottom of the range. Not covered below are the TTS and TT RS, as we’ve got more in-depth reviews and equipment lists on their dedicated pages.

If you’re looking at Vorsprung, TTS, or TT RS models, then you’ll be paying a higher rate of VED than you will with most other TTs, thanks to a surcharge for vehicles that cost more than £40,000 brand new. For the 2024/2025 tax year, this means a bill of £600, until the car’s seventh year of registration. Most other TTs will cost £190 per year instead, but if you really want to minimise your tax bills, then find a 2.0 TDI Ultra sold before April 2017, as its low CO2 emissions mean an annual bill of only £20.
Audi TT insurance starts at group 36, and tops out ten groups higher - with the front-wheel drive 40 TFSI at the bottom of that range and the five-cylinder TT RS at the top. The car’s sporty nature plays a part, but relatively expensive-to-fix aluminium construction may also influence insurance costs.
