THETTHASdominated this class for years, and

this latest version is no different. For starters,

it’s beautifully put together and thoroughly

contemporary inside. The TT is also quick and

great to drive, as well as relatively practical,

thanks to an easy-to-access boot, even if its

rear seats are cramped. When you consider how

well priced it is and how well it’ll hold its value,

the TT is an absolute bargain.
