My opinion of the 2015 Audi TT


With the dawn of a new era of cars. I along with many was surprised when Audi launched their new TT particularly since they are so determined to have an electric line up by 2025. However, even though the 2015 Model came out just before a huge advance in the car industry, I still regard it as one of the best TT’s ever produced.

One of the reasons why I love the 2015 model of the TT is the performance. Even though the TT only has a finicky two-liter turbo it still has enough power to produce 211 horsepower with a 0-100kph time of six seconds and an overall top speed of 250kph. And even though Audi have been making two-litre turbos since the 1980s this is still an impressive feat, especially since this TT only has 89 fewer horsepower than their 1990 Rallycar that finished second in the overall standings that year. Furthermore, it isn’t the vast amount of power that is impressive it is how Audi has been able to keep that engine power while still keeping the quality that their customers demand and expect.

While we are on the topic of quality I want to talk about the TT’s style because I will be the first to admit that Audi’s styling can with some cars be rather awful. I mean all you have to do is look back to 2005 when Audi was still making the dreadful A2 to know what I’m talking about. However, when I saw the TT for the first time I was surprised as well pleased because it was a thing of beauty, with smooth lines and no panel gaps just like a car should be. And it is, in my opinion, the best-looking TT ever made.

I think that what helps the design is the large range of colors, some colors are Vegas yellow, Floret silver, Scuba blue, and Mythos black to name a few. I am clearly not alone because there is a wide range of these colors for sale on Autotrader. Which brings me nicely onto one of my last points, which is second-hand value.

No car is safe from the current inflation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and while some car values have skyrocketed over one hundred thousand pounds, others such as the Audi TT stay at a fairly modest price. For example, if you are happy to drive a car with a few minor faults you can buy a TT for as little as five thousand pounds, which I think is a fair price for what is arguably one of the most interesting sports cars on the second-hand market, behind only the Porsche 911 and 944. However, you have to be careful when buying a second-hand TT since oftentimes the cheap ones can be write-offs or untaxed, furthermore, previous MOT failures are a common occurrence in stating that if not taken care of properly the TT can be expensive to own.

My overall opinion of the 2015 Audi TT is quite good, in my days of research I have not been able to find any faults with the TT apart from the common MOT failures I discussed earlier furthermore instating that the 2015 Audi TT is the best produced
