Test Drive: New Audi TT a multi-faceted jewel - Chattanooga Times Free Press

Audi's new 2016 TT Coupe is an expression of car design at its purest. With its all-wheel-drive set-up and potent turbocharged engine, the TT is also the perfect car to charge up the W Road or carve through the Sequatchie Valley. The TT comes in both convertible and coupe versions. A higher-performance coupe called the TTS is also available. Step away from the TT coupe and your eyes want to consume it in one big bite. From its cute-as-a-button nose to its dramatic, sloping roof-line, our Silver Metallic tester from Audi Chattanooga looks as if it were carved from a gleaming bar of silver. First introduced in 1996, the TT enters its 20th year — and third generation — with a reputation as a trendsetter. Year after year, Audi manages to introduce subtle design tweaks that quickly become industry standards. Audi was also one of the first automakers to streamline dash and center-stack controls in its cars and SUVs. We were able to snag a TT Coupe tester this week with the help of Jeremy Holsomback and Jon Riley of Audi Chattanooga on International Drive. Our silver tester shows off the TT Coupe's body lines with special Florett Metallic paint, a $550 option. Source: www.timesfreepress.com
