Great wind-in-your-hair thrills, fantastic S-tronic gearbox; positive handling and look-at-me style.
There are still more affordable TT Convertible variants that do the job just as well.
A very fine sporting roadster, but not quite as special-feeling as a Porsche Boxster.
Solidly-built, rigid in structure, and impeccably engineered: the TTS should prove reliable.
Fit and finish is excellent, and the 2.0 TFSI engine is proving to be strong in other VW Group models (including the Golf GTI), as is the (optional) S-tronic gearbox, aka DSG, in Volkswagen-brand models. This is the engine's most powerful, most highly-blown iteration, but it has received a reinforced cylinder block, modified piston pins, rings and connecting rods, upgraded valve seats and camshafts, a revised dual-mass flywheel and a different aluminium-silicon alloy cylinder head.
The minor mechanical glitches of the Mk1 range are long-gone, but owners of first-generation TT roadsters did complain that the hood was prone to wear - and that it cost £5000 to replace. The one-touch power-operated hood mechanism seems to be sturdy, though, folding the fabric roof away neatly in around 12 seconds.
