A few month ago I had 50K and I bought a regular TT with a bunch of options! I love this car! I don't understand what not to love in it. It is so perfect. I could choose a Golf Mk7 R but I prefered the style of the TT. Everybody look at me when I drive it! I don't drive fast so 230hp (Europe specs) is largely enough for me, but maybe one day I will Ecu tune it in order to have more power and torque.

[@SuchFinessse]

How's the car to this day? Do you still have it? I'd be interested to know your experience as I may be purchasing one soon. Cheers!

[@everburn]

@@SuchFinessse yeah exactly

[@alexcervantes5194]

@@SuchFinessse @wil1080 I’m also interested how your car is holding up? I’m really loving this car might get it this year. Just don’t know if I should lease or buy.

[@jamestaylor1242]

The 2016 Audi TT is worth every penny!. I just bought one a week ago and couldn't be happier with the overall experience, it's fast, agile, good looks, easy(after a day or too..) to understand the nav system and respectable gas mileage. My model is the Roadster.

[@JepoyIgana]

How are you liking your car? any problems yet?

[@alexcervantes5194]

How is the car doing to date?

[@itsmeth3c10ud]

By far the best TT review out there. Congrats to the reviewer.

[@nickackermanchannel]

My next car this thing is lovely thank you for the video :)

[@jameswinans2270]

This is 2022 and last year I bought a 2017 TT. The price was only $27,000 and the car was like brand new and with the workmanship they build them with I'm not surprised. I spent another $2,000 and upgraded the ECU and the transmission electronics and mass air flow. I now have 330 three horsepower which is far more than the TTS and I couldn't be happier with it. I could have bought just about anything else. My last car was a used Porsche panamera. I've had every kind of muscle car and Corvettes. This is still the most fun of any car I have ever owned. It's faster than a 10-year-old Corvette and it's faster than my panamera was. I have not found anything in 8 months to dislike about the car. He did a really thorough review and I appreciate it but the TT is one of the great buys in the world. The sad part is there won't be any more. So now I've got to hunt for a 2020 or 2021 TTS in a year or two to replace mine. Or maybe this one will keep me so happy that I'll never get rid of it thanks again

[@heyitsnickpw3071]

How’s the reliability?

[@rohanuva]

love your reviews man! keep them coming. to answer your last question. I currently drive an mk6 GTI and absolutely love it's different personalities (comfy daily, perfect for Ikea trips, and great to hoon around on a sunny weekend). For 50k us dollars, I'll probably get the upcoming Jag xe s. why - it's unique, spacious, and great to drive based off all the reviews

[@TtoTheRock]

Love the virtual cockpit design. keeps your eyes where they need to be. also keeps the dashboard clean.

Thank you for the update! I've seen the car on other shows, but your presentation on the GT350 would've been the best! Ford Give MoToMan a GT350! Love your show!

[@KS-ro6in]

a 2018 Audi TT Coupe Competition Pkg is now on order and expected by May 2018. I paid 47k OTD. It took almost exactly 1yr to decide and I had a 2001 TT 1.8T Coupe Quattro in the distant past which likely influenced the overall decision. I looked at ~18 performance coupes including some more expensive and some less expensive. Some faster and some less so. Those 2018 's considered : Mazda MX5 Miata, Fiat 124 Abarth, Alfa Romeo Guilia Ti 2.0T, BMW 230 nd M240, Jaguar F Type 2.0T, Porsche 718 Cayman, Chevrolet Corvette (base), Chevrolet Camaro RS ( 3.6 V6), Ford Mustang EcoBoost and 5.0V8 GT, Lexus RC Coupe, Honda Civic Si Coupe, Nissan 370Z Sport, Subaru BRZ, Toyota 86 and a few others. I chose the TT as it is fast, economical, has sharp handling, offers some practicality, and quattro AWD is standard,. I held off on the TTS or TTRS as yes they are both quicker but 10 and 20k more expensive. I also like that you dont see many of these around --and especially so with the Competition Pkg. The BMW M240 was the close second choice.

[@NJHomeStaging]

Just picked up a 2017 TT Cab after trading a 2013 TTS Coupe. Bought a $55k car for $40k because it is 1 year old. In this case the price and car make total sense. Much better driving dynamics than the MK2 version. The tech is as he says, light years ahead. Could it be faster? Sure, but the overall driving experience is sensational. Would I have gotten a new one for $55k? Nope!

[@StoneOcean]

I own a mk3 TT and I love the clean design. I’m very happy they did not put a screen in the middle. I still have not seen any car as beautiful on the outside and in 😊

[@ashleylemmer8016]

Excellent detail and technical reviews.

[@johansigfridsson556]

I believe that people who are drawn to this car don't really think too much about the whole power side of things, they want something that is nice and fun to drive, high tech and looks good. is 50k too much for this? Maybe. I currently drive an A3 sportback and I bought that for the same reason, in terms of power it gets the job done, it's fun enough to drive and I love it in terms of design and tech. Bottom line is I don't think this is a kind of car you could or should, compare to any form of muscle or true sports car. Personally I didn't like the old TTs, but latest generation really intrigues me.. hell, I'd actually really like to own one.

[@tygrubbs7209]

Bought a 2015 M235i with a proper transmission and could not be happier. Car is an absolute blast! Tech is great, but a true rwd platform is what I wanted.

[@mustafamagdi5494]

I can't compare the TT to the others as you mentioned at the end of the video, I love it on first sight I dreamed to get it, and thanks god I got one

[@zelinli4287]

The van design is the best part I like. It's both intuitive and beautiful.

[@ErikThureson]

Nicely Done!

[@siphonsnob]

I just noticed that your test car doesn't have S-line badging. Does it have LED headlights and rear camera option?

[@itsmekenlai]

I really like the refinement and design of the interior and exterior. Getting this car is really about those together. I'd consider m235i, 2017 a4 (for the tech), 435i, mx5+2017 civic, GLA45... really lots of choices!

[@itsmekenlai]

Bay Area

[@davisflyer]

I like the styling of the car, particularly inside, but I don't care to spend the huge amount of money on the tech package for the GPS. I've price the car out to about $46k. I'm interested in how balanced the ride/handling equation is. I'm pretty sure the handling is good enough for what I need, but i can't seem to find anyone commenting on the ride with the optional 19" wheels. How well did it ride? Is it a comfortable daily driver? Thanks, always enjoy your reviews!

[@scottwerner1729]

Great review of the TT! Super thorough. It would be a stretch for me to afford a $50K car, and if I could I would need more utility out of it than a two seat coupe, so I would go with a M235. I drove a 228 and was pretty impressed.

[@ronmccord6040]

+scott werner how is a 235 more utility? First off it looks cheap and the base models will be loaded with secretaries and chicks. There is no base cheapie for tt. The rear seats fold down in the TT it is a hatch so way more practical, backseat sucks for both. 1g of grip in the tt, all wheel drive standard, they will negotiate so you will end up around 42k to 45k depending on features. TT looks like a mini A8, 2 series looks like well an economy car.. So in Review with TT you get a unique amazing looking car, best tech, sport car fun with Gt comfort and you even get good mpg.

[@sra4722]

I love my 2017 TT Coupe. While I like the idea of more horse, I'm more into cornering. And refinement and all-wheel drive is a dividend. (It's snowing as I write.) The plain TT (not TT-S or TT-RS) feels like it has torque vectoring, as I don't detect understeer the way I did with my 2005 S4. Does the TT have the sports differential with torque vectoring? It feels like it does.

[@mrjdgibbs]

stubob I believe the Haldex AWD system adds power to the outside wheels to help it turn. So that's probably what you're feeling.

[@brandonbergeron4668]

I really like the interrior as is but having a pop-up/nonfixed screen would be nice for entertainment stuff and for the passenger to have something to look at.

[@johndyer9431]

Very good information I can't wait to get my TT in 6 weeks

[@dboyq329]

How's it working for ya? I already know that you are STILL absolutely in love with it, but it just warms my soul to hear you say it. I'm buying one in the next month or so.

[@alexcervantes5194]

@@dboyq329 how is the TT holding up? Thinking about getting mine later this year

[@migueljorgefurtado]

Regarding the central pop-up screen question, I think it´s better without one, but it could use something like Ferrari is doing lately, with a discrete screen integrated on the dashboard above the glove compartment, so the passenger could set the radio, help with navigation, and let the driver just drive

[@shpazhist]

Hey MotoMan, what car do you personally drive though?

[@iamsid4821]

Does this have direct and port injection like EU prior to particulate filter?

[@calaiscruiser]

I love this guys car reviews! even if its on cars im not even remotely interested in at all! Like this Audi for example! ;)

[@z28camaro79]

@MotoManTV No video on the Buick Avista? I love the cockpit of this TT. I think its great without the center stack pop up screen and I hope it becomes the norm for coupes/sports cars. I would miss the pop up screens though in larger cars like flagship sedans and SUVs.

[@MotoManTV]

+Lord Amadeus As you may have seen, we didn't produce our normal episodes from Detroit. We were there for other reasons so only had time to Periscope our way through - and only got limited time on the floor. Sadly, nothing for the Avista. I am working with Clay Dean and some of the other folks at GM Advanced design to see if we can do anything special with that car. No promises, but trying!

[@sergh8605]

Can you do a full swap from the GTI?

[@M3RRIH3W13]

This TT is really nicely sorted and beautifully designed. It's a stylish sports car with the emphasis on style. The 50K segment is pretty stacked with competitors that offer a lot for the money. I wouldn't mind owning an Audi TT, it wouldn't make me feel like I made a bad deal. The car I would like in this range will be the '17 Volvo S90. Volvo is on a roll! There is a lot of value in that car. The safety is world class, design is subtle and classy, and grade of construction materials is outstanding. A spec'd up Hyundai G90, Lexus IS, and Mustang GT 350 are very high end and one would be hard pressed to not love those cars. It seems that gap between the prestige brand and the other guys is closing very quickly. Manufacturers are forced to put out well sorted cars that push all the emotional and rational buttons.

[@parato54]

You need to drive this car to appreciate the handling, road grip, interior feel and MMI. AWD is the magic ingredient Calgary canada

[@psewgobind]

I'm 2XL in size. New Vette is not like the old, in seating accommodation. TT feels more substantial since you actually fit in it, vs trying to squeeze into it. Also, here in Canada, having AWD for the winter is added bonus. I would be very nervous about driving a Vette in a snow storm (assuming I could find snow tires massive enough).

[@winterwitter]

In the UK, the TT with s tronic like the one you've tested is close to $60k. So with that amount money a used Evora S or new Focus RS if I could get on the waiting list. I drive a Jaguar XF diesel.

[@hadrianmyers]

I have a 2015 S3 with the retractable screen. I'd like to drive a new TT to see how the virtual cockpit compares. It certainly looks amazing and very well thought out. I think Audi does this better than anybody and this seems to be their masterwork for this generation. But I like the real gauges and the ability to hide the overt computer in the S3.

[@molisemoloi4194]

Audi know interiors, but they could have just redefined car ergonomics here. They have definitely shifted the car interior design goalposts...

[@dcasteaux9181]

+Molise Moloi I agree with the ergonomics and interior design. Just wish they would make the external design less bland: TT, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7 and A8 all have the same 'Eurobland' look from the front. Time Audi bought Alfa Romeo and inject some passion and creativity into their exterior design.

[@kraenk12]

+D Casteaux They already fired their chief designer and got a new one. Future Audis are gonna look like the Prologue concept. More to your liking?

[@martinkuhne2270]

m235i no doubt. that 6cyl and balance of the car are simply amazing.

[@Antenox]

How does this drive compared to the A3 with the same engine?

[@kraenk12]

should have taken the S-Line package and adaptive suspension but other than that..great car..great review.

[@siphonsnob]

I am glad you liked my car. My 2016 TT coupe has all available options, bringing the price to $59K (Canadian). Why not GTI, Cayman, Camaro, Corvette? The answer is Quattro. If you could see what kind of winter snow I have been driving through for the past month, you would realize that the TT is a practical daily driver that is still fun to drive. I started out looking for an Audi S5 or A5, but they are 8 year old designs and will not be getting the VC tech until redesigned (2017 at least based on the A4 redesign). On the other hand, a BMW 428 X-Drive almost had me.

[@gietie96]

Here in the Netherlands you can order the TTS with the 2.0 TFSI (310HP) with a 6 speed manual and quattro. The regular TT is also available here with a 1.8TFSI manual, 2.0 TDi manual and 2.0TFSI manual (all non quattro).

[@siphonsnob]

+gietie96 I feel sorry for those owners in Europe who bought the TDI version. Aside from the FWD, the uncertainty of TDI recall cannot be fun.

[@gietie96]

+siphonsnob We have the A4 Avant 2.0TDI and will probably get rid of it before the recalls start...

Hi MotorMan, i am considering buying an Audi TT, maybe an Audi TTs. Here is my question: Do you think that the TT is still comfortable on longer ride distances? is there a difference between the tt and the tts in case of the ride quality ? Greetings from Germany..

[@MotoManTV]

Yes, there is a difference in ride quality . . . However, if you are looking for a road trip car, look at the C63s Coupe (or even C43) or the Lexus RCF

[@purple8gold]

At 36 years old (2 kids) who drives a Tundra now, the next car I am seriously considering is going to have a nice interior, i.e. Benz, Audi, Tesla, Lexus. I've so far saved up 23K for the Model 3 hoping that I still like it when it is finally introduced in March. So to answer your 50K question, I'm looking at a C300 and the aforementioned Model 3 as my next daily driver.

[@zazerocold]

Tesla hopefully put the price range decent

[@savagegoose6018]

could i get some sort of cayman for $50k? if i had to spend it all, and muscle car vs TT id prob grab the TT because I already have enough speeding fines thanks.

[@3232schmitty]

+Savage Goose You could get a gently used Cayman for about this, but if you want a well equipped one, prepare to spend some cash

[@pnolan48]

Didn't fit in a Corvette, and barely fit in a Camaro. The TT has plenty of power. I go back to Alfa Guilettas--not much power but a blast to drive. This is my wife's car and she loves it. The A6 3.0T is my car and it too is just a blast.

Your friggin awesome Mr MotoMan! Very interesting review! :-) Still wondering if this would be worth it. Swapping my soon 5 year old Golf GT R-Line. Its just the backseat that have me wondering.

[@mikesmith5375]

TTRS is the ANSWER!

[@tredfxman]

Mike Smith i went with GTI Clubsport, the S model did World Record @ 7:49 Lap... on Nurbergring beating every other car brand in same cathergory, Audi/BMW/Merc you name it... And the normal version is just 20 hp short while having better suspension & an acual backseat. Cant go more practical than that, so thats why a smart deal. Also the EA888 Engine in GTI´s and R´s are made by AUDI originally for your guys who didnt have a clue... Also its tuned by Porsche, as we all know VW owns them as they do with Audi... Check out the reviews! You most likely wont hear a bad one of it! ;)

[@Mr7O5]

I love that new interior, but for the money, I would buy a used Cayman S- Ontario Canada.

[@siphonsnob]

+Vince Story If you bought the used Cayman S, would it be in your garage for the winter, or would you be driving it now in ON. I considered that option for NS, but the Quattro sold me on the TT. I had the previous TT model for five winters, and knew it would be more practical for me.

[@Mr7O5]

+siphonsnob in my situation in ON the Cayman S would be in storage during the winter, the amount of snow we get (excluding this strange winter with hardly any snow) would not work to well with the Cayman, plus seeing it covered with snow and salt would hurt to much, but if I had the TT it would be parked for the same reason.

[@siphonsnob]

+Vince Story if you recall last winter, you will remember that we here in Nova Scotia got a lot more snow than Ontario. The three TT's in my neighbourhood were driven every day. It is a great winter car with the right tires. So far this year my 2016 TT has been great in snow. But really hard to keep the road salt off.

[@Mr7O5]

+siphonsnob it's not that I don't think they can't get around in the winter, I just consider them, (more so the Cayman) a summer/ nice weather vehicle.

[@Infiniti-Benz]

that would still be an extra $16,000.. lol

[@elliottmanning4116]

If I had 50 grand to spend on a car, I would get a loaded Mustang GT convertible or a loaded Camaro SS convertible. I live in Detroit, so it would be covered up in a garage now until April; however, you do see people driving them in the winter. I feel like the TT is a niche car. When it was announced that it was getting redesigned, I forgot that it existed. There's even other vehicles in the Audi lineup you can buy for 50 grand instead of this. Stylish car though. Love the front end.

[@echtogammut]

I love that interior. If they put that interior in the S5, I would say sold. Sadly for me the TT exterior just doesn't work for me. The original Bauhaus design is a classic and has held up well over the years, this looks dated. That interior is so amazing though. For a car I think of as a retired couples weekend car (post SC430)... that interior is just too perfect.

[@kraenk12]

+MKTech Like all modern Audis the exterior doesn't really come off on pictures. Like the new Q7 this car looks so much better on the road...I'd say even better than the original!

[@cwillfrommd]

He said it enough. People only gonna look for the look of this car but not for driving experience for this slow car.

[@TrevCCook]

I would have thought the Audi would have used more aluminum to get under 3,000 pounds. It's a bit disappointing on Audi's end, but as a new owner of an '16 GTI with the same engine and curb weight as this TT, I guess I'm the one winning from the whole MQB modularity.

[@MrBrianYoder]

My choice? It would be the UI of the TT, the Quattro of the TT, and the raw horsepower of a Camaro SS or a Corvette. That's what I want to buy. Since I can't have it all, I have to take the Camaro. The price is better, the performance is over the top, and while it doesn't have the virtual cockpit, at least it has Apple CarPlay (a deal breaker for me) so it's not so bad. Now if they could only do something about the blind spot in the Camaro...

[@Jorgetrader]

Don't miss the pop up, sleek is king

[@123bigred]

best value and what I would buy...2017 Camaro Zl1

[@vh9network]

I would get a Corvette if I had $50 grand , I already drive a A3 2.0T which is everything the TT is and more.

[@MBvolcom92]

I would miss the pop up screen to a certain degree, because my girlfriend usually helps me out with the GPS while I drive. And this would make it a lot harder for her to look at the map, but it's certainly not enough to sway me away from buying the car.

[@jacobbarros8849]

Not a huge fan of the TT. Id love to see a full review of the new Continental and S90 T8 with driving impressions.

[@taylorc9480]

Buddy when are we going to see you behind the wheels of shelby 350 and 350R?

[@MotoManTV]

+chris taylor Hey Chris: The short answer: Not anytime soon. As mentioned in some previous responses, we don't feature Ford, JLR or FCA vehicles (based out of Auburn Hills) on the show. There is a very detailed response as to why we have taken this decision in our Hellcat TECH REVIEW (kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJmQq2Bmlsp4nsk) but the short answer is timely access to cars. All of the OEMs mentioned above are very bad about giving us access to their cars for review in a timely manner. This despite us working hard to come to a resolution with the communications departments. At issue is this: No matter how great of a review we put out, if we get the car too late, we will not see enough of a return to offset the cost of production. It does take us a bit longer to create our product and most OEMs appreciate that. However, some don't. That is the business reality of what we do and really do hope you understand. From a personal perspective, this is a very easy decision when talking about a C Max but MUCH more difficult when it means we can't feature the Shelby GT350 and GT350R.

[@arthurs7882]

+MotoManTV ugh. so ford wouldnt give you a product if you couldnt shoot the review out within x days of return?

[@MotoManTV]

+Arthur S The situation is in reverse - Ford or the others above would only provide us with a car VERY long after the vehicle has been released. Here's an example, Ford *potentially* would give us a regular (4 cyl or GT) Mustang that came out LAST YEAR now - VERY far behind . . . or more likely, they would want us to turn up at an open house giving us access to a car for about 30 minutes. As you can imagine, the episodes you see take FAR longer than that to produce. That just does not work for us and that is where the rule of life comes in - sometimes in this world, you gotta stand up for yourself - no matter who it is.

[@MotoManTV]

+A Sam Thanks for understanding . . . and appreciating what we do . . .

[@A_New_Reality]

The Audi TT it's great great car from the inside, I prefer this kind of the dashboard, it's very clean design and makes everything easy to the driver and that is the important thing in a car like this .. But for 50K ( equivalent 187.000 SR ) in Saudi, I will probably buy a 2016 Mustang 5.0 , or maybe a Mercedes Benz E coupe, if I can boy it in this price :) , but the Audi TT is OK. I'm from Saudi you know that:) , and I drive a 2007 Range Rover Sport.

Don't forget, SAMACO is greedy & will squeeze every Riyal they can out of it. They sell the new Q7 for 312000 Ryials (decently equipped, but not Fully-Optioned)

+Peugeot 905 The car really only starts to make sense once you get into the TTS. The regular TT while cool, just doesn't really offer much in terms of fun when you compare its price to other things. The regular TT honestly seems more like a fashion statement at its full new price. Get one a couple years old at a great used price and I can see the value in it. I hear the TTRS is a riot though.

+Godboy4 Certainly need to.

+MrGovenator1 Excellent Point.

If you knew anything about cars, you'd know that Audi is #1...

To me, the TT has the best cockpit in the business. Tesla and the MB S/E-Class over do it with the screens. The tacked-on displays in, most notably, the Mazda's and the older MB's look like dog turds next to the new TT. Manufacturers should be taking notes. Classic dash design, seamlessly integrating new technology is way to go. It works with architecture, fashion, and auto interior design all the same.

Looks funny without Audi logo in the grill.

I would get a mustang gt optioned out

[@marksclemons]

I would choose the new BMW M2. I live in Augusta Georgia & currently drive a Audi A4

[@MotoManTV]

+Mark Clemons Good choice . . . we will have the M2 on the show shortly . . .

[@marksclemons]

+MotoManTV that's great, would love to have that car to whip around the south!

[@Ante_Knezevic]

+Mark Clemons Yeah you drive an Audi. Nice try bmw cryboy:)

[@ajscott5238]

For 50 grand, I'd buy a Buick Cascada and with all the money I would save on the car itself I'd up the power and luxury.. I live near Cincinnati and currently drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee.

[@jamiroquai01fan]

What is this guy talking about?

[@senorgato70]

I agree with him that people buy these cars for style. The TTS might be a different story, but it's priced against the incredible M2, so it's at a losing proposition from the get-go. Not sure how I feel about the virtual cockpit/interior as a whole. Yes, the virtual cockpit seems fancy, but it just seems like display-overload for the driver. And it renders the rest of the cabin pretty sterile and outright boring.

[@itsmetheoilman9191]

Still worth buying in 2023 ?

[@123bigred]

I like real automatic transmissions, just point aim, and hit the gas...the computer can use all those sensors to determine what gear I should be in...just my opinion :-)

[@MrGovenator1]

+123bigred As in real automatic transmission are you referring to a traditional torque converter unit?

[@wsjohnston3956]

Could Motoman talk if you tied his hands behind his back???

[@kuba2499]

For the money I'd probably get the Audi S3 Sportback. A lot more usable daily and more powah.

[@Godboy4]

+kuba2499 It's heavier and anyway very hard to compare a great looking coupe with an Audi A3

[@kuba2499]

+Godboy4 it's also a lot more practical.

[@brybish]

Mine is less than 3 years old price new over 40k sterling I bought mine half that with 27k miles , don't buy new. Lovely car though.

[@IceBerge1224]

I'll take a fully loaded Mustang. Or maybe wait for the Focus RS.

[@mikesmith5375]

Enough said: TTRS 405 HP 0-60 n 3.1-heheheheh! Eat that HURCAN!
