2009 Audi TT Coupe 2.0 Quattro
2009 Audi TT Coupe 2.0 Quattro - Audi Luxury Sport Coupe Review - Automobile Magazine
It doesn't have the sharp-edged handling of a sports car, but the TT is reasonably fast, reasonably nimble, and reasonably fun to drive.

Perhaps the TTS coupe and roadster that graced our fleet before this regular TT coupe have altered my expectations of the TT and its DSG transmission, but I was disappointed in this car. I found the power to be a bit lower than I remembered, and the DSG seemed to be sluggish on downshifts as well as unrefined when leaving a stop. Is the TTS that much better than the TT, or is this not a typical example of the base TT?
