The only TT I've ever driven* (admittedly a very early AWD one) showed great reluctance to do anything other than travel in a straight line, especially when under power. When you did convince it to change direction it provided absolutely zero feedback whatsoever. I concluded that it was a "Passat in drag" and haven't thought much about them since.

The very early ones were a hoot, but you had to be ready for them, as they had a bit of a desire to go backwards if you had to change something in a corner, including steering angle or power, even at modest levels. That coupled with no feeling of what was going on always kept the sphincter exercised.

Later ones are much tamer, duller, and for girls.

But then I always thought the 3.2 Vectra was a hoot for the same reasons, too dull to drive sensibly, and too shite to drive quickly :D
