Editor's Advice:
Stylishly trendy, the 2005 Audi TT represents the road less traveled when it comes to sporting luxury cars. Furthermore, it’s a true four-seasons automobile thanks to the available quattro all-wheel-drive system. Dynamically, it lags a bit when it comes to the fun-to-drive factor, but it’s always been fun to look at and fun to be seen in. Plus, the interior, where you’ll spend most of your TT time, is gorgeous. If style is more important than substance, the Audi TT deserves a close look.
