Last Reviews  HE: Visually, the TT hasn't changed much for 2005. It still has the same sensuous, iconic shape, and the cabin still features the same Bauhaus style, with lots of black leather and matte-metal trim. What set the new TT apart from the rest of the pack are the twin-cam 3.2-liter V-6 engine and the new six-speed direct sequential gearbox, known as DSG. That powertrain combination really rocks in the TT. The engine makes 250 horsepower and, in the Quattro variant, drives all four wheels. The DSG is cool because it's an automatic that can be shifted manually through the Tiptronic-style shift lever on the console or via two paddle shifters behind the steering wheel. The gearbox automatically makes the gear changes much faster than you could shift a conventional manual transmission with a clutch. from AutoReviews.com
