I will not add to this argument about what car will outhandle what, but I want to note a correction in this post. Depending on what Audi TT you get, it can either be Quattro (4 wheel drive) or Front wheel drive. Whoever has driven in a 4 - wheel drive sports car on the list can probably comment on how awesome it is. This is a factor that can play a big PART in handling, trust me. My Dad's car is an Audi S4, best car I have ever driven in terms of handling and acceleration, it has 4 - wheel drive.
