PROS Sleek styling, classy interior Surefooted handling Superb build quality They're a clever lot at Audi. While the original 1998 Audi TT Type 8N was an excellent all-rounder, its curvy design began to look a little dated as time passed. And the fact that it sat on a Golf MkIV chassis would always compromise dynamics. For its predecessor, the 8J, they added sharper angles, while retaining the same basic silhouette, then perched it on the bang-up-to-date Volkswagen A5 PQ35 platform.It was enough to get closer to rivals such as the Volkswagen Scirocco, Porsche Boxster and BMW Z4 But here's the ingenious bit: they created a bespoke aluminium and steel space frame, giving it an alloy front and a steel rear, resulting in near-neutral front-rear weight distribution. The fact that it was five inches longer and three inches wider also helped, of course. Search Parkers for used Audi TT Mk2 cars for sale Audi TT Mk2 history and introduction Launched in April 2006, the new upstart instantly offered a much more involving drive, as well as being very easy to use on a daily basis. Gone was the ubiquitous 1.8 turbo petrol engine from the Mk1 and in came the well-tried and much admired 2.0 TFSI unit, as found in the contemporary Volkswagen Golf GTI. Offering 200hp, it was good for 150mph and managed 0-60mph in just 6.4 seconds. From 2009, it was joined by the front-wheel-drive-only 160hp 1.8 EA888 unit. Meanwhile, those seeking more performance could opt for the VR6, which featured the 3.2 V6 carried over from the first TT with 255hp, 0-62mph in 5.7 seconds and an electronically capped 155mph maximum speed. The V6 had the added advantage of Quattro all-wheel drive as standard, while this remained an option on the 2.0 turbo petrol. Six-speed manual gearboxes were standard for both or could be swapped for Audi's Direct Shift S-TRONIC dual-clutch transmission. The TT comes with electronic stability control, which can correct the cars line during a skid, as standard. Audi TT Coupe safety is enhancedby front and side airbags and a head restraint system that helps prevent whiplash injury. Isofix child seat mountings for the rear seats are offered as an option, as is a tyre pressure monitoring system. The TT is a two-plus-two seater but a bit more generous than before. The rear seats are best suited to children, but teenagers would probably be happy using them too. The boot is 20 litres larger than in the old model with 290 litres in total - plus the space with the rear seats folded has also increased by 20 litres. The glove compartment offers decent storage and there are a couple of other cubbyholes and useful pockets in the car.
