Audi TT Roadster

The combination of four-wheel drive and a drop-top roof make this a car for all seasons and TT is a stylish alternative to the Porsche Boxster and Mercedes SLK although arguably it is less attractive than its coupe relation. The hood certainly works effectively being both quick to lower in summer and well insulated in winter, while the interior is innovative. It's a dynamic drive, and turbocharged units offer good performance while the V6 is the top of the pile. The 150bhp model has the same panache at a bargain price.

T quattro, v6

The TT is a great all-rounder and isn't about to stumble at the last hurdle by making you adjust your own mirrors, look anything less than cool or show you a naff stereo.
