i always said " ill never drive a TT. never in my life" - 2016 i can say, i just bought a TTs :D and i freakin love this car. Thumbs up and greetz from germany :)

[@throwaway-lo4zw]

it is such a good reliable damn car. and i have a mk2 tt.

[@rideout5849]

@@throwaway-lo4zw I still have it and I love it as much as I did on delivery day 🙌🏼

[@tmh44]

Audi nailed it with the styling on this new TT--they are striking in person, yet still retain enough of the original DNA to be immediately recognizable. Awesome interior too. nice vid!

[@sbblakey]

You know what isn't perfect? The name Carfection.

Negative comments are only from people who can't afford it, have never driven it or have nothing better to do... It's a great car, my Silver 2015 TT S-line is superb.

[@bak2mb]

love love my MK3 coming from a Porsche

[@BabaWubba]

I've always liked the look of TT and this is even sexier. It looks like they have shortened the wheel base and made it slightly wider. That interior is spot-on.

[@vincentadema]

Saw a TTS like this a while back in black. I saw it every day for one week and every time I saw it parked I started to love the design of the car more.

[@SuperSalvad0r]

See thats what i like to see, someone genuinely enjoying a car that they never gave a chance :)

[@capricorneo6645]

Gorgeous car inside and out... Bravo Audi👏

Thanks buddy, your video tipped me over the edge and I purchased my TTS after watching it, would agree with you 100%...

[@jameswilkinson150]

Very cool car. I've heard great things about this version. It's come a LONG way since the MkI.

[@AlienNinjaPuppy]

saw in in person and it's beautiful! looks a lot better in person

[@v_alexiadis]

Great car. Absolutely love the interior!

[@zGJungle]

Was never really a fan of the old TT, but this is some thing special. Different enough on the front end that it doesn't blend in with every other Audi when viewed from the front, stunning all round. That line that runs through from the wings and down the side to the back is so sharp and aggressive and much less hair dresser-ish.

[@mattm9136]

I was able to take this car for a test drive 2 days ago and man it is an amazing car. The launch control really works. No tire spin at all. It just goes. Tomorrow we are going to test drive a S4 since the woman wants a manual and it's one of the only cars audi puts one it. The salesmen said the S4 is even better!

[@kedmond]

YES! I've been waiting for you to do this car. Thanks!!!

[@deldia]

Christ, this channel is still called Carfection! Impressive. I thought it would last about a week in the backlash.

that new TT is kick ass and awesome to drive.

[@JettyBuilder]

Such a good review

[@itsRobbie_]

Thinking about getting one of these. I am NOT a car guy at all. What do I have to do to make it louder/faster? What upgrades? Obviously I'd take it to a professional but I don't want to look stupid asking for these upgrades lol. Basically, I just want it to have a deeper/louder "vroom".

[@jason_marvin]

the upshifts is illegal ~ soo good

[@ShipReK66]

your music is the same that the WSBK website uses. that said, nice review of one of my favorite cars.

[@ccoddington]

Great review. I'm in the same boat, never gave it a chance. Still, I can't get over the lack of horsepower.

[@paullovesey4863]

I think they need to change the gear lever to match the flat type found in the a4 onwards It would look at feel a lot more premium

[@ACERASPIRE1]

That legendary quattro 4WD system? you mean the Haldex that is to be found on many non Audi cars!

[@ACERASPIRE1]

'that legendary drivetrain' you mean a Haldex system that available on many non Audi cars?

[@strikeeaglemodels1588]

You missed out the 2009 TTS 268BHP.With the DSG gear box it can reach 0-60mph in 4.9/5.2 seconds..

[@petardenchev75]

Wow, the new golf looks rather fresh

[@lamecq]

Do you say the same about Porsche and Lamborghini?

[@petardenchev75]

Kees Closed No, just audi tt

[@tredfxman]

If you shall own a golf, you shall own the one on my channel lads. The 40 year Anniversary 2017 GTI Clubsport! Looks more badass than this. Esp in Carbon steel grey and Black Roof!

[@kpd7622]

Great car

[@AdvancedEliteGaming]

How could you not like the looks of the TT? Hasnt if always been known as a cool looking, sporty yet cheaper than other sport cars

[@Mocha_the_Corgi]

I picked up a '17 TTS. It's a fun little car. Not perfect, but I like it over the C43 AMG coupe

[@4lc0n22]

Ah but do you get the new TTs or the MK2 TTrs?

[@ronrichardson3103]

Ive a nice tt mk1 which i love but got my eye on these as soon as one falls into my price range .

[@TheAlphalimamike]

The interior is much better than exterior. A sexy car thought.

[@ZedBanana8]

we really need Alex reviewing the cars!

[@sanscipher]

Just don't ever take it to a track or any elongated cross country rampages if you don't want to ruin your brakes. The torque vectoring will destroy your brakes in no time and makes them fade really fast, really bad, very unpredictable. That's where the confidence around the turns comes from. You've been warned.

[@mcoop6620]

I really appreciate the design language of this TTS, but does is deliver the type of driver dynamics that cater to the buyers who like comfort as well as sportiness? I love the idea of a true sports car but does it allow for the driver to enjoy a daily driver experience? I'm looking for a car that can offer me both, and unfortunately I haven't been able to take this one for a test drive yet. I know that true enthusiasts do not care much for creature comforts, however I am not operating on a limitless budget and I would like to see things such as an effective navigation system as well as a smooth transmission paired with a sense of comfort and reliability. Does this car offer the whole lot or should I direct my attention elsewhere? Any input would be appreciated. By the way, I love the looks of it in White :)

[@DanniDunnit]

Hi bud, I own the TDI, so not quite the same as this, but what I can say is that in terms of comfort, it ticks all the boxes. The interior is literally the nicest interior I've ever sat in, and it's incredibly comfy. The DSG gearbox is also brilliant, really smooth. I opted for the manual in the end because I just prefer manuals, but the DSG gearbox really is impressive. Plus, put the thing in comfort mode and it's a great cruiser. Put it into dynamic and it's a completely different beast. Honestly if you're in a position to get one, I would.

[@mcoop6620]

David Edwards Thanks for the input man, appreciate it. It's definitely a car that's on my short list.

[@scottcanna]

Sounds pretty decent for a 4 banger, but I think I'd still take the old TT-RS for the sound of that 2.5 5-cyl.

[@bighands69]

4 cylinder sport cars can sound great as there have been a history of them. Having a 4 cylinder family car is never going to sound good or drive good.

[@ashishpatel350]

this car looks better than the audi r8. and with an apr tune it would probably kill it.

[@danielbustos16]

hahaha your hilarious. R8 only comes in a 5.2L V10 engine verse a 2L 4 cylinder in the TTS.

[@jeffk464]

+Ashish Patel No!

[@shaft9000]

+Ashish Patel lolol best joke all morning. it's not hard to beat the ol' hairdryer in looks dept, but tune for tune? lol u crazy

[@user-ew2wg3bq5w]

3:07 What a magnificent road!!!!

[@klasseact6663]

I always liked tha original TT, especially the interior. The gauge cluster was very basic like that found in an old sports car, raw and natural, good job there IMO. Ofcosrse the old car needed more power but what doesn't? I do like the car but would love to see that Quattro concept to see the light of day!!

[@swanny78]

I have a TTS in Sepang Blue and it is an awesome car. This is a great review. Oh I got all of the major options and it cost me less than £40k. He is talking about list price. Who pays list price for a car nowadays.

[@daimianzarco4807]

I wish i could afford a ttrs but ill be happy to get a tts any day

[@rodneyjones1990]

+TheStuntdude12 I other words you're gay

[@joachim2734]

What's the torque-plit front to rear ?

[@stelswhere5074]

At the Geneva motorshow earlier this month and the interior of the TT is still one of the best out there. Nothing Merc or BMW comes close. I tried an M235i recently alongside a 220d and the generic BMW looks are not a patch on this TT. The C class Coupe has plenty of style but the interior is a let down despite being Mercedes best effort. Only the Cayman really beats this for me but then with options £60k is the real world cost of the Porsche.

[@carldavies8851]

I took one out for a test drive. It is a wonderful car of that there's no doubt. Then I saw a Mk2 TTRS for sale with 5k on it for £15k less & snatched their hands off. £50k is just too much. If it had been under £40 I may not have waited. Thing is you test drive one & realise due to it being so good, it needs more. No Sat Nav etc on that gorgeous display would be a no go, that package alone £1500. You must have parking system plus, advanced key etc & before you know it £50k has been passed. Great reviews, you got one on TT RS?

[@davidchung2953]

A third pedal and a stick is a necessity for this car. Buying this car with an automatic transmission is like grilling the finest, most exquisite cut of Kobe beef, then throwing it in a microwave.

[@lapamful]

Exactly the same feelings towards the TT as the reviewer. However, he said he doesn't advise it for long trips. So the next logical question is, is the TTs really worth buying if you're only going to use it as a weekend car? Is it even good enough with only 300HP? And it doesn't have a true Quattro, only a Haldex. I think I'd rather get an S1 or S3 with a more practical application as well as being fun to drive (and take them over to ABT). Or a Leon Cupra, an M2 etc.etc. ALL cheaper and I'm guessing in some cases more fun to drive.

[@philippk1125]

+lapamful when you put it in the drive select mode "dynamic" the car drives with "true" all wheel drive all the time. I saw a video from the official audi site and I believe it's 60% back 40% front. It's the new gen haldex system. www.audi-technology-portal.de/de/antrieb/quattro/elektronisch-geregelte-lamellenkupplung it's the second video

[@lapamful]

Yes, but that's the way most Haldex systems work including in the BMW X1. You have to keep it in Sport mode (or whatever) for AWD to be engaged. Same with the S1 and S3. As I said in my original comment, my inclination (before driving the TTs) would be to go for an S1 (with the same AWD system) and take it to ABT for a bit of tune up. Unless of course the TTs is so much better. I dunno, but this is what my instincts tell me to investigate first.

[@philippk1125]

lapamful the s1 doesn't feature this, it's only the tt. it's the first haldex car from audi to feature this.

[@TheEryk03]

Every true man loves TTs

[@rolexaddict4344]

Comic girl

[@Smithy250]

Not really but okay 😊

[@bobo2422]

Is the TT your cup of tea?

[@BoraMarkovic]

A-class AMG, that doesn't have fake sound and sounds like a true beast and looks badass unlike this very settle TT.

[@1400Nelson]

Actually it has.

[@vivalaphill]

+Bora Markovic compare the a45 to the ttrs and it will get murdered by that 2.5 5 banger.

[@BoraMarkovic]

The TTS takes 4.6s 0-100km meanwhile the a-class amg takes 4.2s. Even if the AMG was slower it wouldn't bother me cause it sounds so much better and looks actually like a mean sports car and not a grandma's coupe.

[@vivalaphill]

Bora Markovic a45 is the mst hardocre version of the a class. the tts isn´t. the a45 doesn´t stand a chance soudwise and performancewise against the RS.

[@DoYouThinkForUrselF]

personally I liked the subtle looks of the old TT

[@ponygt6629]

Focus RS vs Audi TT S vs BMW M235i vs Subaru WRX STi vs Megane 265 vs Ford Mustang GT will be one hell of a comparison

[@mehdiadlany]

Carfection .... like in infection!? Sorry I couldn't get over it yet!

[@jeffk464]

Same platform but so much nicer than my GTI. That being said for the money I would probably buy a Cayman.

[@ValWasTakenWasTaken]

I would go for a Cayman or an M2

[@winglessang31]

I’m a purist. I prefer traditional 2 dr 2 seat rwd like a cayman but I do like the newest TT. Probably the best looking car Audi has designed, and capable.

[@six-deuce3189]

Finally there is a "TeeTee" for me. LOLOL gotta love it.

[@richarddonoghue7474]

performance stats?? is there going to be a 2.5L version??

[@philippk1125]

+Richard Donoghue (AllRoundFishing) here's the new TTRS with the 5cylinder 2,5 www.autogespot.com/audi-tt-rs-2017/2016/03/11

[@jh5kl]

+Richard Donoghue (AllRoundFishing) its a new 2.5 all in aluminium. the soundtrack of the test car in the nurbugring, was a delicious delight

[@StarBoi_KD]

About time, the old models looks weird to me.

[@vanquish421]

Not a fan of the gen 3 styling. Now it just looks like every other sharp angle manufacturer. Love the gen 1 and 2 styling, love how bubbly they are. It's a very retro-futurism look, and a lot more timeless than this gen 3 styling will prove to be.

[@durodesduvo8424]

I like it now. It's grown on moi.

[@TheMontegonian]

that road is SO bumpy.

[@hyperlogos]

+TheMontegonian That's where Audis win... lumpy roads. Anywhere else you'll go faster in a BMW

[@AlvinCornelius]

"might not be everyone's cup of TT" Nice pun

[@srihidayati4345]

where is the audio tho??

[@marcelboeltjes9148]

I wait for the TT-RS. This sounds like a coffee grinder (or like a petrol engine through the speakers)

[@acehandsome2970]

audi tt or mustang?

[@kenshi1204]

I would become claustrophobic in that match box...

[@Michael_Michaels]

-My favorite thing about this car is that wonderfully sounding 5 cylinder engine-! EDIT: apparently I was wrong, it's a 4 cylinder.

[@MrTchou]

Except the last versions are 2 liters 4 cylinders engines, no more 5 cylinders 2.2 liters.

[@Michael_Michaels]

tchouzebra dude this car is from 2016!! The engine is new!!

[@MrTchou]

MikeVonDoom dude that's what I said, the new engine is a 4 cylinders… so the noise is not that of a 5 cylinders…

[@Michael_Michaels]

tchouzebra you might be right! =/ Impressive how Audi made the engine sound like a 5 cylinders! =o

[@Michael_Michaels]

+tchouzebra you're right! I just looked through the specs now. Amazing job from VW making the engine sound like that! =o

[@sirkreusel]

I have to work harder to achieve this car

[@aaronming8466]

Is this better or bmw m2

[@ryanm3797]

I'm 6'3 and fit perfectly well in my Mk1. And thanks to all the hate and it not being a real "sports car" it was phenomenally cheap off of craigslist. Your generation may not have appreciated it but broke college students certainly do. And for the money, you get fantastic but not life threatening performance, close to 30mpg, and aside from a few finicky electronics, great reliability. Just learn to work on it yourself or you'll be robbed blind at shops. And as a bonus, your car can rip v6 mustangs, camaros, neons, cobalts, eclipses, riced Hondas and the occasional unsuspecting 350 or 370z a new ass. And look better doing it!

[@cte4dota]

Why is so controversial car ? It's a nice looking small sporty car... and it's full of newest tech... I hate to say bit if this is Jag everybody will loose their minds talking how is that perfect car...

[@whoareweyt6520]

[@dtofq]

Can it be had with a manual trans?

[@jrms60r]

No.

[@dtofq]

jrms60r Well there's one less car off my radar.

[@bst857]

Yeah it can, depends where you live, can't get it in a manual in the US but you can in Europe.

[@mikenewbold1699]

at least the mk1 was it's own car. This one looks like any other audi model.

[@WeLikeFetaCheese]

+Mike Newbold agreed. If I saw this coming up behind me in my rearview mirror I would assume its an A3/4 or something...

[@jimmybond3232]

Wait so this or a rs3.

[@FreeForAllFreak]

My mom always said put your TT's in the toilet.

[@joshua7010]

Nc joke..

[@ScottZ370]

These things are already pouring out of the dealerships just like the Golf R

[@Krauser1226]

If you're just after performance, the TTS is a Golf R, and you can have a Golf R for a lot cheaper than this. I dig this TT and the looks are going to be enough to sell people, but the premium in this over the Golf R, considering they're really the same exact car underneath, is a tough pill to swallow. Also, I don't know if it sounds "good" per se. It sounds, just as the Golf R does, like my Mk7 GTI. It's not necessarily a "good" sound... it's just a "sound". They could've opened the exhaust up a bit on this TTS. That said, the DSG farts are a nice touch.

[@ZDY66666]

I wish my 2017 2.0 (mine is 2.5) liter turbo charged Porsche Cayman sounds like this..same amount of displacement and both turbo charged.. Oh wait is the TT a 6 cylinder? Maybe that's why I'm tripping

[@3232schmitty]

No, it's a four cylinder

[@charlesearle8414]

It's a four-cylinder but it's a transverse-four as apposed to the cayman's flat-four.

[@CEEPMDEE]

when that digital display goes bust... you will cry... when you get the bill from Audi, you will shit your pants.

[@Joe-eg7ml]

the only engine i want in the TT is the 5cyl turbo!

[@jh5kl]

+Joe O that version has all ready been recorded singing in the nurbugring, it was a superb soundtrack (a test version was photographed with a manual)

[@sgabriel]

I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. It must be said that this review is extraordinarily superficial-in style and especially in content.

[@sharjeel.k126]

I think the turbo engine doesn't suit the looks of this car in terms of sound, it needs to have a supercharger whistle which matches it's tinyness,

[@camillo1234]

I understand the appeal to focus on power and speed on a tv sketch but really how much of a big deal is top speed and acceleration in real life.

[@3232schmitty]

+camillako Acceleration can be fun in red light drag races, and for top speed you just need to frequent a track
