2016 Audi TTS: Not So Mellow In Yellow

You want a coupe. You also want a hatchback. In addition, you'd like it to be sporty, have a touch of luxury, and boast the latest in interior tech. That's not a long list of vehicles you're going to be looking at... in fact, there's pretty much just one and it's called the 2016 Audi TTS.
Luckily for you... it's pretty damn good.

I love the color-matched shirt :p Great video as always, Jeff.

[@Panthers1521]

I'm actually cross shopping the S3, TTS, and Golf R

[@johnnyparker2128]

I was too and chose the TTS.

[@d4rkn065]

@@johnnyparker2128 Do you think you made the right choice ?

[@johnnyparker2128]

@@d4rkn065 Absolutely. Very fun and more nimble than the other two. Also very unique. I get so many looks, stares, and compliments. All three cars need an upgraded exhaust and downpipe to sound euro. I chose MillTek which required a Revo Stage 2 tune. Worth it.

[@Wbrooks01]

Just test drove the TT Roadster the other day. My thoughts exactly. So surprising and such an awesome car.

[@charged]

Video production is on point. Nice work as always Glucker.

[@TheHooniverse]

+charged thanks

[@2009hobbes]

Another great video - excellent production values, and Jeff is a top host. I simply don't understand why The Hooniverse doesn't get a TON more views...

[@TheHooniverse]

+2009hobbes thanks - yeah we're just climbing that subs/views ladder patiently. -JG

[@UTMJJ]

Totally agree with this dude. Had the Audi 2014 TT S-Line and changed it to the 2016 TTS yellow. Do not regret it for even one second.

[@ChiroVideosTVlondon]

How are you finding it? The best thing about my Vegas Yellow TTS is that everyone thinks it's an R8 haha.

[@UTMJJ]

+Chiro Videos TV love it so far. Its a great handling car, and the sound is great. The yellow attracts tons of attention

[@DeniedGamingz]

I agree, I have te 1.8 Audi 2016 TT in Vegas Yellow = tons of attention wherever you. Although many mixed opinions from people around me about the color. I love it personally. Even got the 20" Audi TT RS rims on it and Hankook sport tires.

[@PassThroughRevenue]

First video I've seen from you guys and I instantly subscribed. Perfect cinematography, keep up the great work. (and for the record, I did cross shop the mk6 Golf R and the Mk2 TTS and went with the TTS :) )

[@danu760]

WTF it has Great Sound!!!

[@ChiroVideosTVlondon]

Liked, commented and subscribed. Mainly for the colour co-ordination as well as fair review and great editing.

[@JBsC6]

Audi TT is impressive. Thanks for the insights

[@9256steven]

3:30 In the US you have a backup camera in the UK we have a reversing camera!

[@LeJohnz]

Wow, Hooniverse videos have come a long way. *subscribe* I feel like after the hype of the M2, I'm really rooting for the TT RS.

[@JoJoJoker]

Want some better news? A simple stage 1 tune: 0-60 3.5, 0-100 9.2, 1/4 mile ~12. That's R8 V8 territory.

[@kraenk12]

+Abe From an Car already is R8 V8 territory. 3.5 is quite a bit faster already!

[@ivanmatz5812]

+Abe From an Sorry, but I'm kinda new to all this. What exactly is a stage 1 tune?

[@Tim._..]

+Ivan Matz It is normally just an ECU reflash and/or upgrade parts like exhaust, down pipe and intake. To get Stage 2 you need to upgrade parts that are the next bottleneck (eg like upgrading the Turbo) and re-flash again and same for stage 3 (if one exists). There is no exact definition. A tuner company will decide what they think a stage 1, 2 or 3 is. You can Google for more info.

[@JoJoJoker]

+DuBstep115 "tune" could mean a $5,000 Stage 3 ECU Tune with 400 horsepower. Stage 1 is an old term - at least as old as Yenko Corvalrs in the 60s. Most people know. A few who don't also neglect to Google "Audi TT Stage 1" on the device they clearly have at their disposal.

[@DuBstep115]

Abe From an No.. Or tune could mean that my friend plays with the ecu and i make my self new turbo manifold and add bigger turbo. Now i have tuned it. No stages needed

[@Skitlerz1]

Is this where i complain about Jeff's shirt matching the car? All kidding aside, great video as always!

[@TheHooniverse]

It is... It was a bold choice. -JG

[@NikoBell12]

I'd get it in orange. Kind of gotten a little bored of colorless Audis, something fun about putting mixing a subtle design with quirky colors.

[@mustafakhish]

You make some great reviews.

[@seinsmeld13]

I have one of these on order. I would prefer this colour over grey and/or black. I'd call it "Pull me over Full Moon"

[@dashcamcalifornia5003]

I love the TT, I miss driving my brother's.

[@coalakida]

If you get the sports exhaust and drive it in Dynamic mode the sound is pure joy. Rivals that of the Cayman 718 turbo. I also like that they allow you get the same tires as on the new Audio R8 and Cockpit. but the back end needs something a bit more unique , but for a sport coupe that can handle (3) 27 inch imacs and than some, it pretty sweet and full of surprises ... I plan on posting a video for those that need a push.

[@ThexBorg]

If only the dosh for a TTS... Silver S-Line. Still happy with it!

[@ChrisDorgan]

You're lookin like the inverted Wally in this vid :P don't take that as me throwin shade, just remember how cool Tom Cruise was in TopGun when he was inverted :DD Great again chaps and from what I know of the Audi TT, perfectly sums it up.

[@JoJoJoker]

My choice of color: brown. AWD brown hatchback coupe. FTW.

[@dlizzle]

great vid! high hopes for the TT RS (5 cylinder & manual, please), although i'm sure the price will be way far on the wrong side of 60k.

[@giuseppeg2326]

It has great sound dunno what you are talking about!

[@brantshorden1400]

What are your thoughts on an 2012-2013 TTRS?

[@assetfacilitator]

I'm trying to wonder if I should get the tts or TT I drove the TT and its 50k with everything I want it's a 7k upgrade I don't know if it's worth it.

[@stefankoles]

nice review

[@SofaKingTouge]

I've been thinking the Golf R but man this thing is cool. Gonna cost 15k more though. But really I am looking for a toy. 4 door or 2 door. That doesn't matter. Oh Well I have time to think about it. :)

[@stephensinacori433]

Michigan Plate?

[@Pickiz1]

I have one sepang blue manual on order :)

[@itsRobbie_]

deciding between a 2016-2018 one of these, or a tesla model 3. Hmm.

[@ps3traceur]

You make it rear wheel biased by putting it on dynamic mode. He also forgot to mention that the transmission is a dct

[@TheHooniverse]

+ps3traceur I didn't forget to mention it... everyone knows what gearbox these things have. Also, Dynamic mode certainly sends more torque rearward... but it's not as noticeable as it should be. Take a car like the Jaguar F-Type R for example, now that is how I like my Rear-bias AWD systems to behave. -JG

[@ps3traceur]

+The Hooniverse Can you please tell me about other awd rear biased cars? I've been looking for them since forever, there are very few that are 4 cylinder and rear biased awd. Thanks! :D

[@ps3traceur]

+The Hooniverse love your videos btw. You're one of the best reviewers on KZbin

[@TheHooniverse]

+ps3traceur thanks, much appreciated -JG

[@PrecisionBoost]

+ps3traceur Lancia Delta Integrale and Ford Escort Cosworth RS. Basically Group B Homologation specials.

[@russelllutwyche5736]

Yet another review of a great car, but fitted with the wrong gearbox

[@mnypit]

Still no HoonTruck burnout?!

[@TheHooniverse]

+mnypit haha - in due time, just been busy and have to edit a ton of other stuff as well. I WANT to do it though... coming very soon I promise.

[@vivalaphill]

911 is the most subtle supercar IMO.

[@mindyg8134]

I drove it for a day... it was fun...but noisy and you felt the bumps...hard to get in and out of... but I guess that's what a sports car is suppose to be... not a car you want to take a trip on...

[@TheAdventureAuto]

Is it that hard to tune an engine where Audi has to have the same engine tune for the S3, TTS, and Golf R. Im sorry but the Audi's should be at least 300hp to separate itself from a Golf.

[@3232schmitty]

+Turbo4Life1217 There's a couple things going on here that separate this fro a Golf R/ S3. First the TTS can do 0-60 in 4.2 seconds, where as the S3 does it in 4.4 and the Golf R in 4.5 seconds according to Car and Driver. This also has a shorter wheelbase and less weight so it will handle a better than either of those cars. On a skid pad the TTS will do 0.97 G's laterally while the Golf R will do 0.95 G's (both Car and Driver) and the S3 will do 0.92 (Motor Trend).

[@TheAdventureAuto]

+Bailey Smith Yea I totally understand all your points, but I guess you'd just assume that even tho the TT outperforms in all categories, for the increase in price they could tweak the tuning so it would separate itself from a VW.

[@3232schmitty]

Turbo4Life1217 There's always the aftermarket, there's a company called abt that can get this up to 370hp, and tweaks the exhaust a bit. Shmee150 has a nice video on it

[@xar91]

Is it bad that when I saw the thumbnail I said "why are they driving a ford fusion"?

[@philsednev]

I would wait like 5 years for the car to depreciate in value. if i were to buy one. I love the car but it's way too over priced

[@Theman26642]

You don't want to own an Audi with 60,000 plus miles

[@philsednev]

also true

[@AlienNinjaPuppy]

Daniel Feldman own an a5 100,000 miles. no problems. u must be old

[@Theman26642]

25

[@tvanb]

$57k sounds quite ridiculous to me. Should be under 50k fully loaded.

[@KniKnaKnorke]

Fully loaded you will be around 65k. But dont forget with that money you pay engineers which are only responsible to find the exact right click sound and feeling for mmi wheel or the clima controls. and belive me this extra work is worth it. it gives you the feeling that everything at this car is thoughtful and well built.

[@elmura73]

Wish it were that cheap in Australia. We get ripped. In USD converted cost, they cost $75k here (over $100k AUD)

[@jeffk464]

it is Cayman s priced, no way

[@NikoBell12]

+Jeff K I Cayman S with all of the stuff you want is then 911 priced. Your point?

[@lal2235]

+NikoBell12 911 almost lamborghini,

[@ChiroVideosTVlondon]

+NikoBell12 such a good point

[@AlienNinjaPuppy]

Dude is really hating on this Car. must be a bmw fanboy

[@TheHooniverse]

Pretty sure I loved it... not sure which video you're actually watching.

[@waelg7148]

$50,000 is too much for TTS

[@daniel01011101]

lame review!!! sad music all the time. driver seems not really motivated. no sound of the exhaust to hear in the video. sorry dude, this was the worst review i saw.

[@ps3traceur]

first

[@Lachlan1662]

TT's would make more sense if they where RWD imo

[@MrBooterbaugh]

+Lachlan1662 but awd has been audi's thing since the quattro

[@Lachlan1662]

I know, and I've never understood why. They have such a short wheel base,they'd be cheeper to make and they never go off-road. I could garantee they would be faster round a track due to the decreased drivetrain loss and weight reduction if they where RWD

[@kraenk12]

+Lachlan1662 You clearly have no understanding of the technical basis this car is build on.

[@Lachlan1662]

kraenk12 elaborate

[@3232schmitty]

+Lachlan1662 In, short the MQB platform was designed for front drive and AWD cars, it can do rear wheel drive, but not as well as other platforms could. Also Audi has their Quattro system, it's a tradition for their performance cars and most of their regular cars to have it. It dates back to Audi's Quattro rally car that dominated group B for years.

[@jaycee2392]

306bhp ??...🤡

[@lexman8678]

You really are an idiot buddy has alot more hp than that your just a hater 🙄
