Used 2017 Audi TT for sale 

The TT is the only trim on offer albeit you can opt for it with optional extras that would spice up your car right. The full LED headlights and tail lights with the new age signature Audi dynamic turn signals look very striking and make the car look modern and futuristic. It also now gets an option for all-black interiors which look really slick and is quintessentially German to look and feel.

We recommend

There aren't any trims to offer and hence nothing really to choose from apart from the customization options that Audi offers. There are also various additional feature packages that can also be added to spec the car according to the tastes and needs of the individual.

With a 2L 4-cylinder engine, Audi TT at 220 horsepower almost has the same power as a Golf GTI which costs $15,000 less. It is indeed a little underpowered for the entry-level luxury coupe segment.­

All that helps the TT, is the very satisfying S-Tronic dual-clutch automatic gearbox as its manuals are a little harder to fetch. And the second thing that helps it the most is its lightweight construction.

The BMW 4 series is a far sprightly-feeling and dynamic car than Audi. With BMWs being designed to always drive like precise machinery, they make a very fun-to-drive vehicle even when they seem moderately powered on paper. Cadillac here is that fat cat with a lot of paw-digging and prancing power. The 295 pounds foot producing 2.5 L motor is a considerably better performance than both the Germans here.

What is the 2017 Audi TT Coupe's 0-60 mph Acceleration Performance?

Where acceleration times might be a surprising number and that's because of the Audi TT's all-wheel-drive Quattro system which comes as standard in the US market. This is in conjunction with the Haldex clutch pack system which sends most of the power to the rear wheels.

The weight cut over the last-gen and extensive usage of aluminum bits has further reduced the effort it takes to push the car to 60.

Acceleration when compared to BMW and the Cadillac, Audi excels with a 5.2 second 0 to 60 and a quarter mile at 13.9 seconds which is considerable when the times are compared. Cadillac takes the most time to do its acceleration chores.

What is the 2017 Audi TT Coupe's Braking Performance?

The Audi TT already offers a good level of grip on offer when in corners with its Quattro system on offer. But when we talk about its controllability by the virtue of its brakes, TT disappoints.

The brakes feel laggy and not-so-responsive for a sports car. 70 to zero takes TT 151 feet which is the best in the competition. But lack of feedback and preciseness makes Audi feel very heavy in comparison. We aren't saying brakes are bad, the feel is.

The Audi TT impresses with the braking distance as it stops way before 4 series or Cadillac ATS does. It is also the lightest car here while the BMW is the heaviest. The Cadillac ATS makes use of the largest set of brakes in this comparison.

Has the Ride and Handling of the 2017 Audi TT Coupe improved?

The power delivery of the Audi TT is pretty smooth and linear which makes it very easy for daily driving and offers a really enjoyable driving experience. With AWD offered as standard, the TT is fun around the corners and encourages you to push it harder.

The Dynamic drive mode enhances the exhaust note and quickens the throttle response. The raspy sporty soundtrack is a delight to the ears while the comfort mode softens the ride and the engine calms down as well for convenient city driving. 

The Audi TT puts out a decent mileage of 26 mpg combined and on the highway, it can stretch its legs up to 30 mpg which is decent efficiency for a car that has a Quattro system and the all-important sports car genes. Although, the small 14.5-gallon gas tank means that one has to refuel a bit more often than its competition which could play a spoilsport when having fun on the long highway rides.

BMW impresses here being the most fuel-efficient be it cityscapes or on the long stretching highways it stays just a notch over its German rival, the TT. Cadillac with a little higher displacement is higher on the fuel consumption but makes use of a larger fuel tank which aids in a longer driving range.

TT's interior styling is spotless and basic, and its five-star materials make an upscale situation. The lodge is tranquil, as well, even in the convertible model with the best down. Especially amazing is the new Virtual Cockpit framework that puts the sight and sound screen straightforwardly behind the directing wheel rather than on the dashboard. 

The screen is sharp and simple for the driver to see. The atmosphere controls are contained inside the air vents, making them simple to alter. The front seats are unbelievably movable and agreeable, however, the confined rearward sitting arrangements should just be utilized for capacity. Payload space is extraordinary for the car and the roadster.

The rear seat configurations of all these cars are laughably sized for adults. With such a little legroom it can get almost impossible to fit in any of these. But still, here the BMW is the one with the most spacious is it rear or the front seats. Some of the features of the new Audi TT are:

• 12-way power-adjustable front seats w/4-way power lumbar adjustment
• Heated Front Sport Seats with 3-step heating function
• 50-50 Folding Bench Rear Seat
• Leather/Alcantara Seating Surfaces
• Sport Leather/Aluminum Steering Wheel
• Automatic Air Conditioning
• HomeLink Garage Door Transmitter

How is the 2017 Audi TT Coupe’s infotainment system?

In the world of MMI systems cluttered with switches and knobs, the simple yet futuristic MMI system of the Audi TT is refreshing, to say the least. The TFT gauge cluster not only displays vital driver information but also several other system information and functions like navigation and audio controls. 

The system works well with the knob placed where the driver's right hand normally rests while the UI has crisp graphics that are easy to read while on the move. The menus do get some getting used to but the overall system is pretty intuitive. There is no separate infotainment screen and everything is taken care of by the MMI screen.

• Virtual TFT gauge cluster/ MMI system
• 9-speaker 155-watt Audi sound system
• SiriusXM satellite radio w/90-day trial subscription 
• SD card reader and DVD player
• Voice Recognition
• Bluetooth wireless streaming

How much is the 2017 Audi TT Coupe’s Cargo capacity?

The Audi TT is just to keep one or even two essential bags in the boot and then you head for the drive. Because Audi TT is about the drive and not an it-can-take-all-that-in-the-boot car. A 12 cu-ft of cargo space is comparable to certain hatchbacks in fact.

Cadillac with that sharp styling and boot to match doesn't have much to store with 10.4 cu-ft. The best one here is a BMW 4 series coupe with a lot bigger boot at 15.7 cu-ft. 

The TT carries its design signature from the R8 supercar, obtaining a sizable inspiration from its mid-engine cousin. The design lately, has been going sharper over years, and now with the new matrix headlamps, it looks like the computer-aged monster is out on a hunt.

The overall car is a short wheelbase that helps it dynamically be very precise but it gives the TT a very purposeful looking stance. The surfaces are now edgier than round, the overhangs tuck in beautifully making it look neat. The tail lamps carry over the matrix headlamp theme and have slashes of red highlights.

The BMW 4 Series and Cadillac ATS are comparatively bigger cars than TT. BMW feels more flamboyant after the recent design update and ATS on the other hand is edged and creased well. Audi TT with its tout and tight sportscar proportion feels very purpose-built.

The NHTSA and the IIHS haven’t crash-tested the new Audi TT yet probably due to low sales volume and high price points. But Audi offers a host of safety equipment with no less than 6 airbags and the new improved body frame which is great in shock absorption to keep its occupants safe and sound. There are various other safety features, some of which are listed below.

• Driver and front passenger dual-stage airbags, front thorax side airbags, knee airbags, and Sideguard head curtain airbags
• Front passenger occupant detection for airbags
• ESC (Electronic Stability Control) with secondary collision brake assist
• Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution (EBD)
• Tire-pressure monitoring system
• Back-Up Camera

BMW 4 series coupe vs Audi TT

BMW comes pretty close to hatching the perfect blend of coupe and its 3-series sedan elements to form a car that is properly fun to drive.

Dynamics was always one of the strong points for the BMW 4 Series and the way it drives is very engaging. With enough space on offer 4 series make a good buy. And if you want a coupe that almost comes close to being go-kart-like. TT is the thing to head for.

Cadillac ATS vs Audi TT

Cadillac when compared to the 4 series and TT is a holistically classier luxury car that tries to be sporty. So if we tip the scale: TT is the most sport intended, ATS is mostly classic luxury, and 4 series just balances between these two. Go for the Cadillac ATS if you like all that sharp edgy styling, torquey engine, and the comfort it offers.

The Audi TT is a great driver with its Go-kart like dimensions and dynamics from the Quattro all-wheel-drive system. 220 horses are not what you expect out of a hot brewing entry-level sports car from Audi but it is fun enough. The phenomenal character of TT is its controllability and the feeling of nothing can go wrong with it in a fast corner. It's like the car has always got your back. TT with its new R8 inspired design would actually make you mistake it for an R8. Enough reasons for you to go for one.
