$82,390

Widely regarded as Audi's first proper two seat sports car, the TT has been on sale since 1998. It's now into its third generation, and is based on the same platform as the Volkswagen Golf.

It's available as a coupe and a drop top, in front- and all-wheel drive guises, all powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine.

The TT 45 Tfsi Quattro Final Edition is priced at $82,390 while the range is topped by two higher-end variants, the TT S and the TT 45 Tfsi Quattro Final Edition which is the most expensive at $94,710. The TT S uses a more highly tuned version of the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and a Quattro (or all-wheel drive) layout, while the fire-breathing TT RS has a 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine crammed under its tiny bonnet.

Audi TT FAQs

Reliability and known issues with the 2007 Audi TT

Fundamentally, these Audis were well-built cars but there a couple of things to watch out for when shopping for a second-hand one. First, these were very complex cars with lots of standard equipment. So it’s important to make sure every switch, every lever and every button does exactly what it’s supposed to. Check that the air-conditioning blows icy cold and that the cruise-control does, in fact, work. Fixing these problems after the purchase might make the car seem a pretty expensive one.

Mechanically, the biggest thing to watch for is a faulty transmission. The V6 variant of the TT had a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox which is not without some history of problems. So, during the test drive, make sure it shifts promptly and without any hunting issues. It should pick up a gear from Park without hesitation and there should be no noises from the transmission whatsoever. Any jerking during take-off or trouble selecting a gear means you should look for another example without these problems as replacing or rebuilding the transmission will cost a huge percentage of the car’s value.

The Audi TT is one car where the cost of an independent pre-purchase inspection might be a good investment.

Is the Audi TT front wheel drive, rear wheel drive or AWD?

Audi has made TT models in both front wheel drive and all wheel drive in the model's history. Apart from some racing cars there haven't been any rear wheel drive models. The 4 wheel drive models are available with petrol engines, while the diesel models are front wheel drive only.

How to remove an Audi TT radio?

Position four stereo removal tools on the top and bottom corners of the radio, running horizontally rather than vertically. Gently pull outwards on the tools and the radio should slide forward. Release the tools from the locked-in position by depressing the area the tool has locked into, then slide the unit further forward and you can then unplug the radio and the airbag warning light.

Audi TT Engine

The Audi TT has a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine which in the entry grade 45TFSI and Final edition makes 180kW and 370Nm, while in the TTS produces 210kW and 380Nm.

Audi TT Accessories

Coming standard on the entry grade Audi TT 45 TFSI are LED headlights and 18-inch wheels, proximity unlocking and push-button start, a 12.4-inch 'Virtual Cockpit' digital instrument display, sat nav, CD and DVD player, digital radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and wireless phone charging.

Stepping up to the TTS adds 19-inch alloy wheels, power and heated S sport front seats, Nappa leather upholstery and a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system.

The Final Edition grade has the same features as the 45 TFSI but adds the 'S Line Competition Plus' exterior package which beefs up the TT’s looks with the big fixed rear wing and 19-inch Audi Sport wheels in gloss 'Anthracite Black' with red brake calipers. There’s also the black exterior package which brings the black Audi rings badging, black chunky exhaust tips, black side trims and Audi logo decals.

Inside the Final Edition are Nappa leather S sport seats, an Alcantera and leather flat-bottomed steering wheel with paddle shifters, while the armrests, door handles and the centre console are covered by the leather package too which includes contrasting stitching.

Metallic paint is also included as part of the Final Edition’s features.

Audi TT Interior

The Audi TT has a minimalist interior without the big centre media displays you'll see in most other new cars today. Still the level of refinement and luxury is high with sports front seats and Nappa leather upholstery in the higher grades such as the TTS and Final Edition.

Aluminium inlays features across the range while TTS and Final Edition grades come with stainless steel pedal covers.

Audi TT Speed

The 0-100km/h time for the Audi TT ranges from 5.1 seconds for the entry grade 45 TFSI and Final Edition to 4.7 seconds for the TTS. Top speed is 250km/h.

Audi TT Seats

The Audi TT is a 2+2 seater sports car meaning those rear couple of seats are there for the odd occasion when you might need them, because the space back there is limited. But for most of the time having a place to throw a jacket or extra luggage and not have to ask your co-plot to rest it on their lap will feel like absolute luxury.

Audi TT Boot Space

The Audi TT has a 305-litre boot, but it can open up to 712 litres with the rear seats folded.

Audi TT Range

The TT's 55-litre fuel tank means you should have a range of about 785km.
