2010 Audi TTS

The 2010 Audi TTS is a small sports car that seats four people in coupe form or two people in its open-air roadster body style. It’s ideal for drivers who like the look of the Audi TT but want more in the way of performance.

The 2010 Audi TTS is a more capable cousin of the standard TT coupe and roadster, adding enough engine power and braking and handling abilities to take it to the next level. It doesn’t quite achieve Porsche levels of performance, but it does well enough with its 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, paired with a dual-clutch 6-speed automatic transmission. Its 265 horsepower helps it leap off the line, and a sophisticated adaptive suspension combines with standard all-wheel drive (AWD) to afford tenacious grip on a variety of roads and conditions. Some people, however, may find the TTS’ ride too harsh.
