Often when purchasing a convertible one worries about the time it will take to open and close the top and also whether or not the top needs a lot of room to avoid scratching a ceiling. With the new generation TT one need not worry any more, the top opens in an impressive 12 seconds and it stays very low throughout the procedure.

The latest generation Audi TT is as a Coupe or Roadster with engines ranging from a 2.0 L turbocharged to a 3.2 L V6 with around 250 horsepower waiting to propel the lucky purchaser from 0-60 in less than six seconds.

There has been one recall for the Audi TT concerning the structure of the car, specifically the roof and pillars. The recall was only for cars manufactured over several weeks from 01/05/2007 to 02/20/2007.

The Audi TT is a sporty roadster that has proven itself to be a worthwhile investment in the automotive world. The car only depreciates by $5,000 its first year, less than 10% of its original value.

The second generation TT has been honored with many awards including the inaugural Drive Car of the Year, Top Gear Coupé of the Year 2006, Fifth Gear Car of the Year 2006, Autobild 'Most Beautiful Car' and World Design Car of the Year 2007, as well as being a finalist for World Car of the Year.

The fastest and most expensive model of the Audi TT range is the 3.2 L V6 Roadster and it averages around 20 MPG, not bad for a very nippy two-seater.

The Audi TT has been seen on several TV shows such as Fifth Gear and Top Gear and has also had appearances in I Robot, The Weather man and several others.

The new generation Audi TT also features the ever popular Audi Space Frame, a lightweight construction concept made up from a mix of aluminum and steel. This provides increased rigidity and is also 45% lighter in weight than an equivalent steel model.

The technology involved in the creation of the car is quite unique. Instead of conventional damper oil, the shocks are filled with a special fluid whose viscosity can be controlled with an electromagnetic field; this gives the TT the appropriate dampening forces in every driving situation.

The Audi TT's popularity is not restricted to the masses; Sienna Miller has been seen cruising in a 2008 cabriolet.
