Audi TT Roadster

Every season, the glossy gal mags are full of the fashion must-haves. It doesn't matter if the mini dress, set to be super hot in the summer, makes its catwalk debut in December, and so we're not too surprised that Audi's new TT Roadster has gone on sale at this time of year.

The outgoing TT is omnipresent on Britain's roads, thanks to its mix of style, value and pace. Rarity is not part of the package, but buyers don't seem to care. Sensibly, Audi chose to carefully evolve the TT rather than replace it with a new car as daring as the TT was when it was first released. Now the Roadster version is available.

The Roadster cuts quite a dash, especially with the quick-moving roof stowed and the shiny rollover protection hoops displayed. There are plenty of reasons to show off the interior too, with its flat-bottomed steering wheel, extensive circular theme and the option of some fabulous leather finishes. No doubt the TT Roadster will be on many a woman's wish list to Santa this Christmas.
