Audi TT Quattro 1.8 (180bhp) Review

Good Points
It looks great, sounds great, handles great, drives great.

Bad Points
Visibility is very restricked in the roadster, many many blindspots which makes parking difficult. The power is a bit too linear.

General Comments
The Audi TT is a fanstastic road go-cart, a headturner for sure. I'm more of an accelation freak and the one problem with the 180 and the 225 is that it is very linear. Whilst most other hot hatches/sport cars give you the extra pull of power once you approach higher revs, the TT with respect to the car is the same power off the mark until the red line.

You can beat any car off the lights but once they hit higher revs they pull away from you quite rapidly. I noticed it against my other car a BMW 320ci, where that has 170 BHP and in a straight line it leaves the TT gasping for more power. But up to 60 mph, it is just as quick.
But the handling and 4 wheel drive of the TT makes it more enjoyable and exciting and round country lanes, you can keep up with almost anything.
