Used Audi TT pros and cons

Is a used Audi TT a good car?

The Audi TT is a gorgeous, but still relatively practical, four-seat coupe that’s fast and fun to drive, but easily capable of commuting in and through town. 

Inside, even though it’s been around for a while, the cockpit looks great with the big digital instrument screen and the coolest air conditioning controls of all (on tiny screens set into the lined-up air vents). 

Space in the front is fine, and both quality and comfort levels are exceptionally high, but the back seats are a kids-only zone, as taller passengers will run out of legroom, and will bash their heads on the inside of the tailgate.

Speaking of which, that tailgate opens to reveal a pretty practical hatchback boot.

Being that it’s small and light, the TT manages fine with just a 2.0-litre petrol engine and 245hp (the same as a Golf GTI engine). Front-drive models are fine to drive, but you’ll really want the all-weather performance of the four-wheel drive quattro versions. You can track down TTs with a manual gearbox, but most recent models will come with the S-Tronic auto, which is fine, if a bit sleepy and jerky around town. 

The TT is fun to drive – perhaps not as much fun as a Porsche 718 Boxster, 718 Cayman or a BMW 4 Series – but it’s still agile, fast, and sure-footed and a practical way to get your sports car fix.

What to look for when buying a used Audi TT

For a car that’s been in production for as long as it has, the TT has had very few recalls, and those include issues with the fuel tank, and problems with the airbags. Common reported issues seem to be limited to the air conditioning, and some small electrical faults. The S-Tronic automatic gearbox also needs careful attention as it ages. 

The TT didn’t make it onto the 2024 Driver Power Top 50 Cars To Own list, but Audi finished poorly — 27th place out of 32 — in the customer satisfaction survey with 21% of owners reporting faults with their cars.
