Might actually be bought to drive and will be marginal on all of the above....just sayin'
Leave that to the OP to decide.If someone came on here asking which Boxster to go for, you don't get people saying "Have you considered an old Ferrari?"
But mention an Audi TT, and it's like you've just asked which Daewoo Matiz to go for.
TTs are not for everyone, but they are not without their merits either.
For those prices you can also consider a TTS. One thing to note about TTs is that there's plenty of choice so I wouldn't just consider the above ones. MK2 owners tend to like DSG very much. I'm a MK1 owner so can't really comment.
Also, TTs are quite amenable to modification so a cheaper one may lend itself to some upgrades and could be within your budget. Sort of depends if you're into that sort of thing or not. A quattro model definitely as well.
For extra advice you can also try the TT forum.

I personally recommend the 3.2 V6 TT having owned it and test drove it back to back with a 2.0 TFSI. If you are a Turbo guy then go for the 2.0, I personally much prefer naturally aspirated and dislike many cars with less than 4 cylinders. Each to their own but for me there is no replacement for displacement both in terms of cc and cylinder count.
I now have a Cayman and for what it is you can get plenty of luggage in when split front and rear boots. However, the TT was so practical when you put down the rear seats and easily took a 29'er mountain bike with one wheel off or my work exhibition stand, neither of which the Cayman takes. The Cayman is better to drive no doubt but the TT was a fantastic (better) daily driver and with the ESP off and on summer tyres with plenty of revs it went up the steepest (steep!) long hill out of my village in the worst of the 2010 snow when all RWD were stuck, FWD's with skinny tyres were stuck and even Land Rover's on decent tyres were getting a work out. Great car with a great snarl under power. I kept it a year and a half then wanted something more agile given 90% of my driving is on fast B roads. Throw in some motorway commuting and work requirements then a quiet cabin and good blue tooth phone sound etc/other boring reasons tend to sway the argument.
Anyway, test a V6 and 2.0 T back to back if you can!
