It’s gone by many nicknames, called a hairdresser’s car by some and a miniature R8 by others, but in any incarnation, the Audi TT has been a style icon. Sadly, that’s no longer to be the case, as the TT is about to be culled and won’t be replaced, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still get a 2023 model, which is pretty efficient.
The car tested by the EPA had a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine producing 228 hp, paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. Built around similar underpinnings to the VW Golf, the MQB platform and TFSI engine endow the TT with impressive fuel economy when you’re light on the gas, consuming 25 mpg combined despite a 5.2-second 0-60 mph time also being attainable. You can get even more powerful trims, such as the TT S and the five-cylinder-powered TT RS, but those won’t produce quite the same fuel economy as the standard variant.
