The grille that set the car design world aflutter is gone, replaced by one similar to other Audis. Crisper lines lend a leaner appearance to the redesigned Audi TT, and it does weigh less.
Same iconic shape, but with less curvy curves and more angles. Earlier generations were rounder, especially in the nose. Note the grille shape.
Sweeping roof line restricts second-row head room. Are you reminded of a Nissan Z? Not a coincidence The rear quarter view hasn't changed as much. As elegant as ever. Spoiler pops up at speed.
No retro here. Ultra-modern, minimalist interior design. Very deep instrument panel. The previous car's interior had a small display in the center stack. Not suitable for 2016.
Real aluminum trim livens up what would otherwise be a coal bin. I personally like the minimalist, driver-centric controls, but the passenger could feel left out.
Early photographs included this view. It maximizes the nav map but the virtual gauges look silly. A steering wheel switch toggles to this more conventional layout. Better for driving, if not nav.
Audi designers cleverly located the HVAC and seat heater controls in the centers of the air vents. Optional S Sport seats are unusually comfortable and supportive. Loved them.
Very tight. My pre-teen fit. Yours might not. You can fit quite a load into the TT even without folding the rear seat.
The floor is flat. The cargo net only makes it look bowl-shaped in this photo. Plentiful cargo space with the rear seat folded. Many owners probably leave it this way.
The four-rings on the engine cover distinguish this 2.0T from that in the VW GTI. Audi has done little to make the 2.0T engine pretty without a cover. Quick, but not thrilling.
