Audi TTS Roadster (2008-) Review

Category: Roadsters 4 out of 5

Summary of the Audi TTS Roadster (2008-)

Price Range: No data available

Assets

Great wind-in-your-hair thrills, fantastic S-tronic gearbox; positive handling and look-at-me style.

Drawbacks

There are still more affordable TT Convertible variants that do the job just as well.

Verdict

A very fine sporting roadster, but not quite as special-feeling as a Porsche Boxster.

Audi TTS Roadster Review

Safety and Security4 out of 5

That well-engineered structure has been designed for optimum occupant protection in the event of a crash, though the Quattro four-wheel-drive system will help to keep you on the road in the first place. A retractable rear spoiler deploys at 75mph to aid high-velocity stability (an issue with early TTs).

Further safety kit includes rollover hoops, stability control (specifically tweaked for the TTS for slightly later intervention, but still kicking in quickly enough to keep you safe), traction control, high-performance brakes (17" discs, in the TTS), seatbelt pre-tensioners and front and side airbags.

That cloth top's not going to be as secure and resistant to vandals as a metal hard-top, but the TT roadster does come with an alarm.
