Find out with Mat as he puts the TT RS through its paces!

[@markphillips116]

I recently took delivery of this car, in mexico blue... have to say your review is spot on. I can only add that I've had 38mpg from mine when pottering around... negatives, not many...the rain water tips into the boot when you open it, agree on tyre noise, but that'll sort itself when I change to Michelins and the exhaust note is a bit subdued. Else, it can destroy pretty much any other car on the road, wet or dry, it just pulls like a train. Practical too - I get all my fishing gear in with no probs. Looks amazing and mine's in a very rare colour, so properly looks special. All in all, to think I nearly ordered an M2 comp - glad I didn't now!

[@noflippingwayman]

What's your average mpg and average speed at the moment? Thanks

[@DD-hj3sj]

M2 comp is a better car hands down for a car enthusiast. TTRS more for anyone who just wants to go fast without much worry

[@ricardorodrigues3508]

Gr8_Balls_o_Fire They fixed the undsteer pretty good in my opinion. Luckiky for you the company that makes and develops the RS-models has changed it’s name from Quattro GmbH tot Audi Sport. This is because of future intentions to release more rwd cars. They have already announced a RWD version of the new facelifted R8 V10!

[@christophschnorr9798]

@@thepericlesof8449 why the fuck they should do that??? Simply accept there is something else then RWD! In the real world, you are way faster then everything else (including M2 comp., M4 comp., C63s etc). If you wanna go sideways buy an old E36 328 with LSD. It doesnt matter if you would crash it sometimes.

[@brianfallon2607]

I took delivery of a TTRS cabrio in Nov, 2016 and it has to be the best performance car on the market for under £100k, well under £100k. There is a design flaw with the cabrio. The water drainage holes can get clogged and the car fills with water. That has happened twice. The drainage holes are next to impossible to access without taking the back end of the car apart. I bought a car cover which has done the trick. I did have an 09 Cayman S that I specified with limited slip diff and sports seats. That was the best pure driving car I've had but no 4wd or soft top so the TTRS seemed the best all rounder. I've been very happy with it (except the drainage) and won't replace it.

[@rotorblade9508]

It’s quick but because it’s not rwd the front tires will overheat on a racetrack and you can’t use wide rear tires to rely on them for thrust. Also heavier front loads the front tires and the grip coefficient is reduced. The steering needs more assistance because of more weight on the front. Still with the help of modern technology I don’t expect it to be bad at all.
