Due to its relatively high price and sports car billing, neither the IIHS nor the NHTSA has conducted crash-test reviews or provided a safety rating for the Audi TT.
NHTSA safety ratings are not available at this time.
If you're worried about the TT's lack of a US safety score, it's worth remembering that Audi once had a safety issue with the first-generation TT and had to work hard and fast to save the model from public condemnation. Those days are a thing of the past, but the TT still isn't loaded with specs in this department. You get front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring with lane change alert, and airbags. Fortunately, there are a lot of airbags: eight to be exact. These include dual frontal and side-impact airbags, knee airbags, and thorax airbags. The next generation of the TT, should there be one, will undoubtedly offer more driver aids.

Reliability is something that would never have been associated with any new sports car 10-15 years ago, but these days, quality control is more stringent than ever and German automakers almost always perform well here. The TT is no exception; there are no recalls listed for the last three years in the USA, but there is also no dependability review of the Audi TT from J.D. Power.
If something should go wrong, you can take advantage of limited and powertrain warranties for the first four years or 50,000 miles of ownership, whichever comes first. Four years of roadside assistance and 12 years of cover against corrosion are thrown in too.
