With the Quattro system, it only improves the front-drive car's already very good handling. Especially with the top down, the TT roadster has a more relaxed feel than the coupe. The 180-horsepower TT is a fine car, but there are people who thought it needed more power. And, with the extra weight of the convertible, Quattro AWD hardware, and intercooled engine accessories, more power couldn't hurt. There is a little lag right off the line if revs aren't high enough, but acceleration is immediate in almost all driving situations.
Midrange power is outstanding.
The six-speed manual gearbox shifts well, and has good gear ratios. But the engine's flexibility means that frequent shifting is not necessary. The TT Roadster combines style and substance in the way that Audi does best. Curb Weight 3473 lbs. Fuel Capacity 16.3 gal.
