That must be annoying, yet at the same time, rewarding to the Audi designers. Luckily for them, nobody has yet decided to copy the remaining shape and style of the TT, and as with all Audi products, it stands out in a crowd.

Now after saying that, the TT doesn't hit you like my Uncle in his pink and yellow shirt that he brought back from Hawaii does. No, the TT is bold no doubt, but in a stylish and handsome way.

The 2.0 TFSI motor doesn't sound like a huge chunk of engine, but in a car of its size and weight, it moves!

The rather bulbous front, unusual on a sports car, presents a certain powerful stance, and leads you to believe that there is more under the hood of the beast than you first thought. In fact, when you drive the TT, you realize that is actually true!!

The 2.0 TFSI motor doesn't sound like a huge chunk of engine, but in a car of its size and weight, when coupled to the delightful six speed s-tronic transmission, it moves! In fact, this little hot rod goes from 0-60 mph in 6.1 seconds, and runs the quarter mile in just 14.8 seconds.

Of course, after mentioning the transmission, I have to say that the change ups that the unit produces are amazing. From a standing start, the rapid blip blip of the gear changes makes you feel like you're in a Formula One car! Oh, and it sounds great too!

I should also mention, that the flat bottomed steering wheel, just like that of the R8, adds to this racy feeling as well.

This brings me nicely to the interior.

Anyone who has ever sat inside an Audi product knows how well designed the interiors are. Audi just has a way of perfecting a classy, yet sporty, environment like no other manufacturer, and over the years, that has become one of their trademarks.

Everything feels tight and well put together in the TT. The seating surfaces are firm yet friendly; and a typical German quality feel is forever present.
