Audi TT Roadster 2015-2019 review - Carbuyer

"The Audi TT Roadster is stylish, great to drive, cheap to run and has one of the best interiors on the market."

The Audi TT Roadster takes on long-time rivals the BMW Z4 and Mercedes SLK in the premium roadster class. It manages to beat both of them when it comes to fuel economy, overall performance and price – and we think it's the best looking of the three, too.

That dash board and the ability open and close the roof are almost worth the asking price on their own. Stunning simplistic design at its best.

[bmarkyt]

Putting the roof up with the wind deflector button is a neat trick 😂

Just drove my new roadster home from the dealership! Fun drive!

'At that price, you could get a Porsche Boxster' - Yes, but then you'd have to go through the optional extras on that as well.

I just wonder if these digital displays will still function properly after 10 or more years. With the smartphone live expectancy these days, you just have to hope for the best. For any sports car and future classic i would prefer analog. Electronic displays in cars are always the first thing to look outdated in a relative short time.

In Indonesia, the only one car manufacture that doesn't come with parking sensor even the top spec model is Honda....

Hey Carbuyer love your reviews! But they're only aimed at people who buy brand new cars. Don't you think it would be great to post some second-hand car reviews? How some models stand the test of time and conserve their value, some comparisons between 5-10 year old models etc?
You know, for people who actually can't afford a 50.000 pounds car? Best

Never liked Audis, probably never will. But the new virtual dials and the temperature settings in the dials are nice touches. Small touches like that would make a car feel special.

It needs a mini display for the radio. Couples buy this car to have as a weekend car and it is frustrating to have to look all the way at the driver's cockpit. The driver will most likely be focused on driving and the passenger will control the radio. That makes no sense.

that GoPro POV really makes my heart race as i'm expecting a crash to happen since that road is so narrow and you see around the car >.<

[TheDutchMitchell]

Wind deflector not standard? For that price? Damn..

[allanpaterson]

I love my Audi TT roaster, albeit I have alot of extra on the car, such an amazing car!

I know they don’t like to give much away but parking sensors really should be standard. Doesn’t cost much to put in by manufacturers and it’s a safety feature.

3 questions:
1. Did the testcar have S line suspension or adaptive dampers?
2. Would you go for the manual or s-tronic?
3. FWD 2.0 TFSI or quattro?

I so love its Audi tt and tts convertible the best ever really good 😊👍

If the Mx-5 is not quite good enough for you. you can spend 10k more and have it! personally I'll go with the little awesome Mazda.

[TechGamesAU]

Weird those seats are completely different to the ones in mine. Mine have a brushed metal housing that you can see each side of the seat.

[coaldust]

to similar shape to the mk1, i think the tt has run its course now, this will be the last one imho, the new shape boxter wipes the floor with this.

[inchskater]

I don't know if I would choose this or a mx-5. It seems hugely more practical but the mx-5 just more fun and a lot more compact.
