Used Audi TT cars for sale

Audi TT buying guide

When the Audi TT launched in 1998, its design was nothing short of ground breaking. It’s evolved several times since then, but every version has consistently delivered an eye-catching design, a premium interior and a sporty, sure-footed driving experience. There are a handful of engine and trim choices when buying a used Audi TT. Keep reading to learn about each so you can choose the model that’s best for you.

What used Audi TT trim levels are there?

Entry-level TTs come in Sport trim. This includes alloy wheels, air conditioning, leather upholstery, cruise control, rear parking sensors, auto lights and wipers, and a digital driver's screen which houses an infotainment system with Bluetooth and DAB radio.

S Line adds some sporty styling touches including larger alloy wheels and a meaner-looking body kit. You also get the option to add firmer S Line suspension to this trim as a no-cost option.

Black Edition takes the S Line model as a starting point and adds darker styling touches to help it look even sportier. It also adds an upgraded Bang & Olufsen stereo.

Vorsprung is the range-topping trim and includes enormous alloy wheels and a reversing camera.

What's the Audi TT's interior and technology like?

The TT has always been known for its style, and this reputation feels well-earned in the cabin. The design is neat and eye catching, and takes the unusual decision to ditch the typical centre infotainment system in favour of a fully digital screen in front of the driver. Other nice touches include the raised centre console, which helps the cabin feel like a cockpit, and the optional miniature digital screens on the climate vents that adjust the heater and air con.

Audi’s infotainment system looks nice and works fairly well in practice, but it’s disappointing that Apple CarPlay and Android Auto only became standard later in the car’s life. Check with your Motorpoint representative whether the used TT you’re looking at has these features installed.

Sports car buyers don’t usually put practicality at the top of their wish lists but the TT isn’t too hard to live with if you usually carry only one extra passenger. The rear seats are too small for regular use but work fine as additional storage, or you can fold them flat to make a boot that’s just large enough for one big suitcase and a few soft bags.

Audi TT engine range explained

Audi TT 40 TFSI petrol

Don’t be put off by the 40 TFSI’s entry-level position. This 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol makes 197hp and can sprint from 0-62mph in 6.6 seconds – comfortably in the ballpark of most hot hatches – and is great fun to drive.

Audi TT 45 TFSI petrol

The next step up in the TT range is the 45 TFSI model. This cranks up the wick on the 2.0-litre engine, bringing power to 245hp. The 0-62mph time drops to 5.8 seconds for two-wheel drive cars and even further to 5.2 seconds on 45 TFSI models with the optional quattro all-wheel drive.

Audi TTS 50 TFSI petrol

This is the most powerful TT you can buy before stepping into the rarified realm of Audi’s RS cars. The TTS still uses the same 2.0-litre engine, but turned all the way up to a mighty 306hp and mated to standard quattro all-wheel drive. The 0-62mph dash is finished in just 4.5 seconds, which is nearly as fast as Ferraris and Lamborghinis of just a few years ago.

Audi TT RS petrol

TT RS cars are rare but are astonishingly fast. Under the bonnet, you'll find a 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder engine making up to 400hp, which sees the 0-62mph sprint completed in less than four seconds. This version also includes beefed up suspension and brakes to cope with the extra engine power.
