I have always loved an Audi. Everything about them: the way the steering wheel feels under my fingers, how they look from the outside, the upscale interior and, last but definitely not the least, the way they drive! Audi always manages to impress and inspire me.
One of my favourite cars on the road is the Audi TT Roadster. I love convertibles. There is nothing I enjoy more than driving a hot little car with the top down in the sunshine…
So I am a tiny little bit disappointed to pick up a coupe. But only slightly disappointed, of course, because this thing looks hot and I have high hopes before I even start the engine.
I almost hate to admit it, but I think that the TT is one of the few convertibles on the road that actually looks better as a coupe. The hard top just seems a bit more aggressive with the way the angles and lines all flow together. The overall look and design of this car has been one of my favourites since it first came out in 1999.
The truth of the matter is that it doesn't really matter what you have on the top, it is what is on the inside and underneath the hood that counts the most.
This second generation still takes several styling cues from the original. A rounded strong nose, curves in all the right places, a back end that you can’t stop staring at and a stance that has an aggressive look while still maintaining a level of cuteness. Yes, I think that this sporty-looking coupe is very cute!
Inside, the cockpit is top-notch, just like in other Audi products. They have been number one when it comes to interiors for years, and sitting in this car I am reminded of why. The fit and finish are superb, the white stitching on the leather seats add incredible detail. Personally, I love the chrome accents, just like the outside; on the interior it is just enough in all the right places.
Not only does the coupe look better than the convertible soft top, having a hard top gives you more rigidity in the body so you get slightly better handling and performance.
