Edmunds' Expert Review
Overall rating
8.3 / 10Compact, fun to drive and full of modern technology, the 2019 Audi TT is a practical way to have an emotional driving experience. A 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque and sends power to all four wheels thanks to Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive system. New for 2019, a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic means shifts are swift and sure, and it is the same type of transmission found in many supercars.
A short wheelbase, with even shorter overhangs, means Audi has kept the weighty pieces toward the center of the car. That translates to ideal handling manners so that the TT can corner as good as anything on the road. The all-wheel drive and brake-based torque vectoring system keep the TT on its chosen line and give it four-season flexibility.
On the inside, front-seat occupants revel in a cockpit-like interior, with design cues, digital infotainment and dash displays that are shared with the rest of the Audi lineup. The front seats are firm but also well-bolstered to keep you in place when exercising the TT's cornering capability.
Yes, the TT Coupe does have two rear seats but consider them only for additional cargo room or for small children. But that's better than many of the TT's competitors, such as the Jaguar F-Pace and the Porsche Boxster and Cayman, which don't have rear seats. While they all are fun to drive, they all go about it in slightly different ways. The TT is the only one of the bunch with standard all-wheel drive and a rear seat, so if practicality is a gotta-have feature along with your sports car, the TT deserves strong consideration.
Notably, we picked the 2019 Audi TT as one of Edmunds' Best Luxury Cars for this year.
Audi TT models
The 2019 Audi TT is offered in a single trim level as either a four-seat Coupe or a two-seat convertible (Roadster). Regardless of roof, the TT is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque and is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The all-wheel-drive system is standard.
Standard TT Coupe features include 18-inch wheels with summer performance tires, LED headlights, heated auto-dimming mirrors, front and rear parking sensors, automatic wipers, a power-deployed rear spoiler, keyless ignition and entry, selectable drive modes and adaptive steering.
On the inside, you get automatic climate control, a virtual instrument panel, leather and simulated suede upholstery, power-adjustable front seats with heating, folding rear seats, Audi's MMI infotainment system with a trace pad and voice control, a rearview camera, an inductive cellphone charging pad, Bluetooth connectivity, and a nine-speaker audio system with satellite radio and two USB ports.
From here, you can add the Technology package, which includes a navigation system, Audi Connect telematics, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, a blind-spot monitor, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, and a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium audio system. The optional S line competition package enhances the TT with 19-inch wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, special exterior and interior trim, a sport steering wheel and sport seats. You can also get an S sport seats package with full leather upholstery and diamond stitching.
The TT Roadster eliminates the rear seats but gains a center pass-through ski bag along with a power-folding fabric roof, roll hoops and a power-deployable wind blocker.
Trim tested
Each vehicle typically comes in multiple versions that are fundamentally similar. The ratings in this review are based on our full test of the Audi TT Quattro Coupe (turbo 2.0L 4-cyl | 6-speed dual-clutch automatic | AWD).
NOTE: Since this test was conducted in 2016, the current TT has received more power, a new seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and additional standard technology features. Our findings remain applicable to this year's TT, however.

Most helpful consumer reviews
I test drove the 2019 Audi TT with the S-Line Competition Package. I've owned a BMW 1 series with aftermarket suspension tweaks, a Mercedes-Benz C Class coupe with the AMG Sport package Plus, and have driven the new Porsche Cayman, Mercedes SLC, BMW 2 Series, Infiniti Q60, and Jaguar F-Type for comparison. These are all excellent vehicles but I feel the Audi TT with the S-Line Competition Package sets itself apart from its competition in several ways. All of these cars can turn heads but I find that the iconic TT body style has been refined to near perfection with this package and the interior with its digital controls for the AC in its air vents, diamond patterned upholstery with accent stitching, Audi's acclaimed virtual cockpit, interior LED and mood lighting, one of the best feeling flat bottom steering wheels in vehicles south of $100,000, along with 22 cubic feet of luggage capacity with the rear seats down, make the 2019 TT with the S-Line Competition Package feel more modern, provide more luggage capacity, and offer a better ambience at night than its competitors. Being a more GT kind of guy, I prefer the individual settings set to Dynamic with the exception of the exhaust note & suspension set to comfort to provide a more comfortable ride and maximize enjoy enjoyment of the TT's very good Bang & Olufsen 680 watt 12 speaker 14 channel audio system, while still hearing a subtle engine growl when you step on it. The car is adequately fast for my taste and was tested at a 0-60 mph in 5.2 seconds before the new being upgraded with the very fast shifting 7-speed DCT transmission. The base TT provides the kind of usable power that's not too excessive so you can fully implement and experience its maximum potential for everyday driving fun! Add to all of this its all wheel drive capability that allows you to be a hooligan even when it's raining and provide additional safety during inclement weather, and relatively low price point compared to its competitors, and the Audi TT truly sets itself apart from everything in its class. It has very precise steering although lacking the heft and road feel of some of its competitors, and phenomenal grip that tested at a lateral acceleration of.98g! Although the TT has two cup holders, one of those is in the center storage compartment. You should be able to hold normal sized water bottles sideways in the door pockets but there's no dedicated cup holders in the door pockets. In summary, driving 2019 Audi TT with the S-Line Competition Package at night with its ambient lighting and wonderful Bang & Olufsen stereo system, provided a very unique and enjoyable driving experience. I highly recommend test driving the 2019 TT with the S-Line Competition Package and make sure to check out the individual Drive Select modes to find your favorite individualized settings.

Yes. You may find similar cars that profess superior 0-60 times but this car will give you a great driving experience and sports car fun in one package. This may be the last year for this model so think hard about buying. I also own an A7 so am pleased with Audi character. Quality, looks and driveability are first rate.

Audi TT vs. the competition
Audi TT vs. Audi TTS
Sharing the look and feel of the TT, the TTS ups the power from 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque to 288 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. The TTS comes with a faux suede interior as well as a dynamic suspension system for more flexibility over the road. Unlike the TT, the TTS is available only as a coupe.
Audi TT vs. Audi R8
While these two look similar, they're mechanically very far apart. The R8 is a mid-engine supercar, while the TT is a compact front-engine sport coupe. Aside from engine location what's the difference? First off, power. The R8 comes with a heart-stopping V10 engine that produces 532 hp, which is a far cry from the TT's 228 hp.
Audi TT vs. BMW Z4
The TT Coupe offers the benefit of small rear seats, and the TT Roadster fares well against the Z4. It's priced lower and comes with all-wheel drive. Thanks to its bigger engine, the Z4 is faster, but you'll pay for it. It's also only available as a convertible, making a TT Coupe with its standard all-wheel drive appealing to those living in colder climates.

Should I lease or buy a 2019 Audi TT?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
