Audi TT Cupe

Its good mix up of dynamism and design,unique sporty look makes this car different. With a double-clutch transmission, ample power, and grip for days, the 2008 Audi TT Coupemakes for a more enjoyable drive than the Roadster. Bluetooth, an iPod dock, satellite radio, and optional navigation round out the package. Unique, beautiful design, relatively comfortable for front passengers iPod integration is seamless but incomplete, and the Bluetooth setup has similar shortcomings. Interior storage is all but nonexistent. S tronic is slow, cramped cockpit that is hard to see out of, twitchy suspension The windows are short and the beltline/top of the doors is way too high and because the roof is so slow you can't raise your seat much; so you can't easily see out the sides or navigate in tight places with much confidence. I know this style is popular these days, but if you care about seeing where you are driving (obviously many people don't) then it's just plain annoying. I played with the magnetic suspension a bit. With it on, the ride was firmer but also a noticeably jittery; a lot of noise from the wheels and suspension. With it off the ride was a little softer and not so noisy, but a little less fun. It's much better than an A4 I tested a while ago - the suspension was so bad on that one that I even asked whether it was severely damaged in some way. On its own I think the TT's suspension is great; but compare it to a BMW suspension without any magnetic trickery and you'll see why BMW is the gold standard. I also found that when you aren't pushing the car, the S tronic transmission is slow to shift when you tell it to. If you were really pushing the car it would shift faster. This may make some sense, but it left me feeling disconnected from the car. And no matter how bad you think the back seat will be, it is worse. It's no good for anyone - not even small kids, or a baby seat. Even getting to it is a joke. I wanted a backseat just for my dog, but I'm not sure even he'd find it livable. Despite its great looks, in the end I just kept comparing it to what you can find in a BMW, and despite how ugly most BMWs are today, they are much better driver's cars.


As a standard all Audi TT models have front sport seats covered in Tetris cloth and a pleasing of combo 3-spoke Sports ‘flat-bottom’ design leather steering wheel with Black leather handbrake grip. Interiors are detailed with Aluminium Laser complemented by a light-weighted smooth aluminuim foot paddle. Standard audio system consists of a Chorus radio/single CD player with front speakers seems only fairly decent. Some other elements like Centre console armrest pad and door handle and front floor mats do not stand out per se but complete the overall interior décor.
Interior Comfort
Audi TT Coupe has but one motivation to provide the driver with maximum ease of driving. The ergonomically designed cockpit and seats make sure of it. A Driver’s Information System (DIS) displaying the vitals of car and instruments angled directly at the driver. The electrically operated door mirrors and heated electric front windows increase the comfort. The leather seat covers are specially treated to reduce thermal heating by as much as 20 degrees Celsius when the TT is parked in the sun. An optional DVD navigation system proves quite handy and never lets you lose your way. The audio system is powered by Bose sound system for an unmatchable music experience. The Audi Music Interface offers wide compatibility as provides support for USB memory sticks, portable hard discs, mobile phones, MP3 players and Apple iPods and even portable cassette players. An optional built-in hands free phone system enables mobile preparation using Bluetooth interface that allows the driver to control basic mobile operations without taking focus off driving the car.



If Classy Diva title was ever to be used in terms of cars it would be unanimously given to Audi TT Coupe. Audi has brilliantly managed to combine style with technicality so that every feature of the car serves a dual purpose of enhancing looks and providing some technical/aerodynamic advantage. Audi TT Coupe has a low positioned single-frame grille and flat intake slits beneath the radiator grille. The combo gives the front of the car a very distinctive look and a technical advantage of channeling greater quantities of air to the engine. The sharp edged corners of halogen headlights with LED Daytime running lights look fierce complemented with rounded front and rear fog lamps that provide enhanced illumination. A fully automatic hood with integrated wind deflector claims technical superiority. On the rear, integrated exhaust containing dual pipes on the left emphasize the athletic character of the car. The show stealer, however, is the retractable rear spoiler, which deploys and retracts automatically at set speeds or when the centre console button is pushed. The alloy wheel with styled setting of spokes stay true to the sporty theme of the car.
The width remains same across all the models while length and height vary slightly. In length Audi TT Coupe stretches 4187mm, in breadth it is 1842mm wide with mirrors closed and 1952mm wide with mirror open and in height it measures 1353mm.
