We've been using the TT for a month now and it's settling in even better than expected. As someone who's used to running the larger cars on the BusinessCar fleet (Mitsubishi Outlander, Mazda 6 estate and Skoda Superb estate, to name just three), the TT didn't come with high practicality expectations.

However, it has proved me wrong. Not only is it possible to fit both my kids in the back seats (although the driver's seat can't be all the way back), but the boot is amazingly spacious.

The first standard test of this was the weekly shopping run, which proved a doddle. But the second was one of those worrying 'bought too much at the garden centre' moments. I'd only taken two passengers with me, so I was able to fold one of the rear seats and promptly fit three bags of bark chippings, a small amount of fencing and some plants in the back without any trouble.

Audi claims the boot is 305 litres, and that's about the same as a small hatchback, but because the shape is longer and wider than expected, it seems bigger and more practical than many other small coupes

Verdict
	Looks amazing, great official fuel and CO2 figures		The number of options that you'd think would be standard
