Verdict

We’d be surprised if Audi didn’t do very well with the TT TDI, for it has put together a car that is both stylishly designed inside and out, drives well and is economical to run, at a time when this seemingly matters more than anything else.

The price tag suggests that Audi shares this view, for it has been very bullish with the TT TDI’s pricing, pitting it head to head with the rather good, and more powerful, BMW 123d M Sport. The Audi offers the added security of all-wheel drive and the versatility of a hatchback; the BMW counters with rear seats that can be occupied by adults.

In the end it’s the fullness of the Audi’s price, coupled with performance that is adequate rather than scintillating, and a drive that is good but not great, that stop it earning full marks.
