Audi TT vs VW Scirocco
The latest Audi TT and Volkswagen Scirocco both offer plenty of style, but which has most substance?
Our verdict
Unless you really need the rear seats and extra equipment in the VW Scirocco, the Audi TT makes much the better choice. It’s more rewarding to drive, classier inside and offers superior economy and emissions – and it has the benefit of four-wheel drive. While private buyers might find a saving by opting for the Scirocco, the TT is well worth the premium.
