About the 2023 Audi TT

With an overall Carivo score of 7.5/10, the 2023 Audi TT earns a Recommended rating among the sportss we've scored. Its strongest dimension is Value at 8.7/10, while Safety at 6.6/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a solid all-rounder that delivers across most dimensions without obvious deal-breakers.

Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. We rate the Audi TT's reliability at 8.6/10 — among the strongest in our sports database, reflecting the nameplate's track record and recall history. Safety is a notable gap at 6.6/10 in our scoring — below what the best in segment deliver. Check the official NHTSA ratings for the trim you're considering before deciding.

The 8.6/10 performance score reflects a chassis and powertrain that punch above the segment norm — this is a sports you choose partly for the drive itself. Technology scores 6.9/10 — the infotainment and driver-assist features feel dated against current-generation rivals. This is worth weighing if you prioritize connected features or modern safety tech.

Priced from $51,604–$60,830, 25 MPG, seating 4, the Audi TT sits in the premium tier of the sports category. The 8.7/10 value score is the headline: relative to what it costs, this sports delivers more than most of the class. At 3 years old, it's worth checking whether a newer generation or refresh has addressed any weaker dimensions — compare it to the current model year before buying.

Bottom line: Think of the 2023 Audi TT as the dependable pick rather than the exciting one. Its softer scores in technology and safety are the only real asterisks. Shoppers who value predictability over headlines will be well served.
