The current Audi TT's face includes far more angles, resembles that of other Audis. The additional edges continue down the body side. The current TT appears leaner and meaner.
Though edgier than before, the Audi TT's shape remains unusually clean, yet far from boring. The previous Audi TT was more round, with chunkier proportions. Also not rounded grille opening.
A Porsche 911 with more athletic proportions, thanks to an engine ahead of the axle. The BMW M2 appears handsome and muscular, but can't match the beauty of the othrers.
No other car has this profile. (Well, a few copycats sort of did, but they're gone.) The Audi TT's shape finishes even more cleanly than it starts. RS has fixed rear wing.
A radically clean interior. A single screen, as in the Tesla Model 3, but ahead of the driver. The interior of the previous TT was more traditional and less sophisticated.
Current Porsche interiors put a lot of visual emphasis (and switches) on the center console. It's a BMW interior. Busy instrument panel.
RS Design Package adds red trim rings to vents. Does the instrument panel have to be so deep? One display, in front of the driver. HVAC controls in vent hubs.
Somehow adding adjustability to the bolsters made them work less well for me. The Audi TT has a back seat, but headroom is in very short supply and legroom can be nonexistent.
Your groceries will likely fit with the seats up. Far more cargo space than competitors if you fold the nearly useless rear seats.
Behold, the carbon fiber engine cover included in the $6,000 Dynamic Plus Package. Now with an aluminum instead of an iron block, Audi's unique turbo five-cylinder kicks out 400 hp.
