2016 Audi TTS FIRST DRIVE REVIEW

[@alancarew4841]

This is the only review I've seen which says there isn't much difference between the base model and the TTS, i have just bought a TTS and I've had 2 base models, and trust me i can tell you there is a HUGE difference. 0 - 60 times for the traffic light Olympics and motorway overtaking makes this a totally different animal to live with

[@draza3083]

IS20 vs IS38

[@jasonswain5134]

I have had my 2016 TTS for 2 months now.... I love it! I love the engine sound being amplified into the cockpit... It is fast and nimble... Has all the comforts and styling so expected in an Audi. Great car!

[@neverawesomer3430]

I’d choose the Audi TTS all day. Original design that gives it’s own look, plus it’s a car you rarely ever see in person on the streets.. which makes it that much more cherished & unique.

[@jerrydemelojr6167]

Bought the Arctic White 2016 Audi TTS Quattro. Love it. The interior is fabulous. Simple and to the point, with clever A/C vents and operation. The dynamic mode is fun. There is something about suitability for age of the driver that bears commenting. We have all seen the 65 year old lady in a tricked out Camaro and the 20 year old in the Escapade. Both are out of place. I am 61, just grey enough up top - and the Audi TTS screams success and class. Heads turn for the right reason. All my friends love it, and would not drive the corvette, or unbutton their shirt and buy a gold chain to look good in one. 😎

[@s2k4ever]

TTS with APR tune and great interior.

[@MBvolcom92]

I would choose the Audi TTS all day long! beautiful car, that's not too flashy but not too conservative. Modern interior design, with that amazing virtual cockpit, basically 30% of the reason why I would want one. I live in both Germany (stuttgart) and Norway (oslo), spend most time in Oslo where I don't need a car though.

[@jh5kl]

+Marius these questions are not for us europeans because here, the situation is reversed, here they are the imports and the price situation is reversed, so here they ask insane prices, specially when they still use 6.0 cc or above, since we dind t invaded Iraque, we can t afford those fuel black holes.

[@MBvolcom92]

+jh5kl Can you please rephrase that?

[@jh5kl]

Marius what i mean is that when american reviewers make these questions of what would you buy and bring up price, its not for european consumers. in Europe, american cars are the imports so they are the one costing much more. plus they also tend to forget to talk about hat the car actually brings but thats another story

[@MBvolcom92]

+jh5kl Well yeah, obviously. But my point is that this is a beautiful car and its price range it's the one I would go for. Even if I lived in the states I would never buy an american car.

[@jasonswain5134]

I really have no idea how they get so much work out of a 4-cylinder engine... It's amazing!

[@robs468]

I like the fact that they don't offer a sunroof, I think it would disrupt the clean look of the car....would love third pedal though!!

[@siphonsnob]

TTS versus Corvette? Do they make a Corvette that I can drive through a Snowstorm with a lawnmower in the trunk?

[@johnnyparker2128]

I’m a manual (stick) driver but driving that way is now painful in the Bay Area. So I appreciate that I can drive comfort mode in traffic and dynamic/manual mode on back roads. Enjoying it and I believe my 3-pedal days are done. I chose the TTS because everyone out here has a BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Corvette, etc.

[@RedC63AMG]

Taking delivery of one tomorrow for my wife. Best blend of performance and luxury we could find at that price point. She is also dead set against another manual after I put a six puck in the FRS. The motor improvements that come with the S model (Golf R) create huge additional tuning thresholds thanks to lower compression and stronger internals.

[@FrederickHwang]

I checked it out at my local Audi dealer. The interior is amazing and very modern. Audi has set the bar high on this one. The interior in the new B9 A4 is just as good.

[@jimmyneutron1227]

I got rid of a 2018 Camaro ZL1 and got a 2019 Audi TTS and did an APR stage 1 flash. I have taken both to the track. The TTS has made the Camaro look so bad that I regret ever buying the Chevy. At autocross, my TTS beat every car there except the two open wheel racers. I beat the C6R's with race slicks, Porsche's..., everybody. And I was on stock tires where many of them were on slicks. They are still fighting over me a week later.... The TTS is no joke. Oh and for reference, I have a 2017 GTI Sport with 10k of race mods on it. The TTS smoked that car too...

[@GTRuppsala]

I will buy one TTS 2015 tomorrow, and take it to the track in three days😊💙🏁🙏

[@alancarew4841]

Wow, yes, i love my TTS, all of that and she classy too!

[@waynerhea6649]

You can buy one right now for low 30s with apr stage 3 tune you have a awd car with 400 hp and practically because you can sit in the back seats laying across and the trunk is pretty big for the size of the car

[@WillAbernatha]

I chose my TTS for its Bauhaus design. I chose my TT>S< for its performance. Plus, I got it in Sapang Blue, so it changes from electric blue to indigo depending on the light. So, it's all about the aesthetics. And the 20" wheels are the best ride in dynamic, and passengers do not approve.

[@WillAbernatha]

I agree. I have an Audi TTS. It's wonderful on the road. It's not a track car. I've been considering a Miata/Spider or old Boxster just for that. My TTS is happily my daily driver.

[@davisflyer]

Interesting point about the Corvette being around the same price. I recently tested a 2019 Corvette, and even though it's a big, wide sports car, the interior felt very tight and a bit claustrophobic to me. Then I test drove a TT. Sure, it didn't have the power of the Corvette, or the manual, which sucks, but the engine was responsive and sounded good. But surprisingly it felt much more open inside and not claustrophobic at all. Also, the TT/S is very rare in the US, where the Corvettes and other American muscle are a dime a dozen. So in short, it may not be the best sports car at anything, but it's very competent, comfortable and easy to live with. I'd still prefer a manual though. Audi, are you listening? UPDATE: While considering the Audi TTS, I stumbled upon a used 2018 TTRS with only 5k miles on it. After owning it now for almost 2 years, I can say that the TTRS is a completely different animal than the TTS. Not only is it substantially quicker, it sounds substantially better, handles AND rides even better. I found that in Dynamic mode the TTRS Magride suspension somehow manages to be a bit more supple. RS tuning perhaps. And I got it for about the price of a new TTS, which only made it a sweeter deal. After adding a stage 1 ECU and TCU tune and a Haldex tune (which sends power to the rear much quicker than stock), this car is an absolute riot to drive. If it only had a manual.....

[@IDHerbert]

With you all the way on lack of a sun roof Motoman !!

[@CookingwithJose96]

I would choose The TTs because i was born on the 1996, i already have a 2012 model and driving it has been amazing, and that is the car of my dreams.

[@BeanieNinjay0]

With the visual trick going on in the interior, I think a sunroof would disrupt that. Any car that I've been in that can have a sunroof, I've noted fed that the cars without them seem to have way more headroom. To answer your question, if I was looking for a car luxury(upscale) sports car, I'd probably get an M2, 4C, or Cayman. Out of these three choices, I'd most likely choose the bimmer primarily because there is a lot (will be a lot) of aftermarket support for the car, and it already comes with more power than the other cars including the tt-s. Yes, the interior is kind of crappy, but that wouldn't matter to me too much since I'd likely swap out a lot of the parts like the seats for aftermarket parts. I live in the Midwest.

[@BeanieNinjay0]

*currently drive a 335xi with basically the same motor as the M2 so maybe I'm biased haha. But I've always wanted to know how my car would drive if it were lighter. 400lbs lighter. And a better top end.

[@waynedavies8130]

I like this guy!

[@3232schmitty]

If i had to choose again, I would still stick to my TTS. I know its expensive as all get out for what it is, but it does exactly what I need it to. It is pretty fast yet comfortable, as the video above demonstrates. It is very practical for a sports car, since I can get all of my stuff to and from school without issue. And in my opinion it looks great too. I know I could get a Corvette for the same amount of cash, but here in Michigan the 4wd is a necessity since Winter didn't end until this week.

[@aJerseyThing]

+Jay Hawke Again with the "fall apart", sounds like you've got some subjective bias. Corvettes have always been quality cars.

[@3232schmitty]

The C6 had a poor quality interior, especially at its price. I haven't spent too much time in the C7 but it is markedly better

[@xynurse6095]

Thank you for this!!! I graduate at the end of the month. Ordering my TTS, finally, in a few months.

[@aJerseyThing]

Graduating into debt!

[@xynurse6095]

Naa. The car will be here sometime in October. i'll walk out the door an even trade on my car and 59k for the new one after everything + maintenance pack.

[@aJerseyThing]

+Brennen Landers What are you driving now to get an even trade?

[@bigdeal4147]

or you buy a rental property, and then buy buy an audi TT and let some college kids pay for your fun. 58k is a nice down payment on a couple of duplexes.

[@xynurse6095]

+aJerseyThing mazda mx5

[@johnbennetsen3092]

Far and away it is the TTS. Not only great looks but also aggressive performance. Add to this the MMI system and you have the best engineered and designed vehicle on the road. Also, did I forget, you can put two sets of golf clubs comfortably in the trunk! TTS all the way!

[@Zrosum]

Great review with equally great character!👌🏾

[@sgneher]

I live in the US and currently have a 2015 Mini Cooper S. If I was leasing I would get a BMW M2 but if I was buying I would pick the Audi. The main difference is that if i had the TTS I would do a simple tune and exhause from APR that would end up making this car about as fast as base Corvette all with the more friendly awd needed in states like Colorado where I live.

[@joslynfowler9415]

When are you going to review the Audi TTrs?

[@TailoringTalkMagazine]

Just ordered a TTS fully loaded after debating whether to save £7000 and get a Mustang 5.0... TTS all round for me is a more versatile package ! And slightly quicker off the mark now they have 310ps

[@Parabloop3r]

Haha, I yelled "292 hp" into my computer monitor. Good to know all the differences that added those ponies though, hell I didn't even know the EA888s were iron blocks. Car's a little soulless maybe, but because 4WD paired with a dual clutch they recorded a 0-60 in 4.2 seconds. Four-point-two! A car with less than 300 horsepower is hardly behind a Corvette. Obviously it wouldn't keep with the V8 to 100, but nevertheless very impressive engineering from Audi. Can't wait to see what the 2.5L I5 TT RS can do.

[@great159]

Artyom Timiryazevskaya WRONG!💯

[@great159]

Joe Blogs WRONG AS WELL!💯

[@ACEcolorado1]

The color Golf Yellow Audi offered in the 90s had more of a greenish tint to it. I liked that color on the original A4 and the 90 Coupe

[@Pickiz1]

Amazing car!! I have a TTS on order, sepang blue with manual gearbox :) in mid Jun

[@KS-ro6in]

what geographic area?

[@vomErsten]

@@KS-ro6in Had to be Europe; among this car's siblings, the stick was only provided on the Golf R in the NA market while Europe also got it on the S3 and the TTS.

[@indykalia8224]

Totally agree with the glass roof! Would have made the car damn near perfect!

[@JoJoJoker]

$58,000, what do I buy? A 2009-12 Porsche 911 (Gen 997.2). Specifically the 997.2 Carrera 4S PDK. That's actually the goal for my next car.

[@sullyFL]

Please review TT RS.

[@dcharizard91]

For $52-58K sports car segment, I would consider the new 2016 Camaro SS with the 2SS and almost every option. Of course, since I live in sunny SoCal, I don't need the AWD offered in the TTS.

[@aJerseyThing]

+Jay Hawke Yet it competes with and exceeds the like of the M4. And Camaro's build quality is on point. Don't know what your hate is with Chevy, they've turned their game around with the newest gen.

[@bigdeal4147]

uh......... what kind of chevy camaro costs 52-58k?

[@marksclemons]

Aaaah I see you're in Playa Vista at the end of your video. I would choose the Cayman over the TTS. Don't get me wrong I really like the TTs but I want a RWD sports car! Oh and the steering is so much better in the Cayman not to mention the balance of the car. I live in Augusta, GA but just moved from Culver City. CaI drive a 2017 Audi A4, see I do like Audi's but for that type of car the Cayman gets my vote.

[@ronrichardson3103]

But the Audi is more versatile if you want to carry anything ive a tt and they are great for carrying loads almost like a van with the rear seats down .

[@GuruVarun112]

MotoMan, is this a front-wheel-bias system like the MQB cars with this engine/transmission (Audi S3, Golf R), or is this the True Audi Sport Quattro system with a rear-wheel bias? As per usual, you make the best car videos on the internet! Keep it up!

[@3232schmitty]

+Varun Santhanam It varies depending in what driving mode you have it in. In comfort mode it is more front drive biased, in dynamic it is more rear drive biased

[@CAT15407]

Yes it’s based on 5th gen Haldex.

[@tfb6504]

Yes. I agree about a glass moonroof option like the Jaguar F-Type. I’ve been saying this for years. Thank you for saying it. I bought a Volkswagen Eos with the intention of having it as a hand-me-down car for my son, but these millennials don’t seem to be interested in cars (or at least mine isn’t). I don’t really blame them with today’s urban congestion. My 987.2 Boxster S got recycled into a third year of private college. I loved the gen I TT. It came in some great colors. I met the most interesting guy at the Audi store (less than two miles from Elon’s toybox). He’s brilliant, and we’ve been talking Audis since February. I think I finally configured a TTS to my liking. We’ll see.

[@bobmister250]

58k. I'd get the TT. I live in Detroit and you can drive a Corvette in Detroit 5 months out of the year. No one drives their Vette in January. It's RWD and doesn't get the greatest traction. The TT is AWD and is a much more capable winter car that's also a sports car in the summer.

[@davidwilliams6249]

In Australia the TTS costs the equivalent of US$90K. An M2 with DCT is US$80K, which is what I would probably choose. I currently drive a one week old MX5 and in spite of its low cost it is the most fun car I have owned.

[@TheLoveViking]

Pano. Roof fair enough. But I wonder what a sunroof would do to the level of headroom?

[@NafeesRaw]

Please do a full review on the 2016 RS3

[@3232schmitty]

+Nafees Rawoot It isn't coming to the States I'm afraid to say

[@bneyens]

I was looking at this TTS, but ended up buying a 2012 R8 V10 with a manual. Now this TTS looks womanly in comparison.

[@renzeewhite5132]

I cant believe the 2016 Audi TTS has more HP than a corvette I love the TT its so sexy its a mini r8

[@ChiroVideosTVlondon]

The Germans are just not going to compute the whole sunroof thing. That's because they have a Roadster version of this car. The idea that you would want a coupe with a sunroof and not the Roadster will just baffle their logical way of thinking. What I want is a day to day sports car. The BMW M-series isn't that, the Porsche certainly isn't and a Corvette doesn't mean very much to me, but I am sure would do to other people, no disrespect to the brand. The TTS is an every day sports car and that's what I love about it.

[@quinyboties]

I'll take a mercedes c450 or wait for the new audi s4! I'm planning on buying a c63s coupe when it comes out in a few months! how would you compare it to the competitions? M4, RCF.. and I chose the c450 and new s4 over the tts because of sunroof and the 6 cylinder AND back seat room.. I know the change the internals but for that price I would want the 6 cylinder in the c450 and new audi s4

[@GazaLilBrat]

I was looking for a sunroof or panoramic roof for this car

[@ErikThureson]

Good stuff!

[@BernardBorel]

Have to be a Vette, with a freakin Sunroof! Great episode

[@IceDree]

I completely agree regarding the Sunroof, heck a glass roof would've nice. if Ford can put one in a 30k Mustang (the previous one), how can Audi can't? I know you gave me an inside tip regarding the TTS' price, but I completely forgot about that …. I should've prepared an alternative answer by now, but I got nothing lol … I suppose a used a CTS-V Coupe would be my answer, but for new? A 392 Challenger with a Shaker ;) As always, excellent work M!

[@MotoManTV]

+IceDree I thought the extra time would cushion the blow . . . :)

[@BigBoss-ps6vk]

IceDree it has more to do with performance than price

[@DavidJones-sc6jc]

Motoman, are u saying the base TT doesn’t have 40/60 dynamic mode??

[@howardsalsitzj.d.7818]

MM, my choice would definitely be the Corvette for the money. The Vette is a super bang for the buck... and American made. As you know, I live in Southern CA (40 years in November). The Audi is nice but the Vette is the best buy for the buck, in my opinion.

[@ChiroVideosTVlondon]

I like your patriotic thinking. When I went to the US on holiday, myself and my friend insisted on hiring an all-American car rather than the Asian ones we were originally offered (we're British btw) and we hired a Chevy. We felt great about this until we later googled the model. It was designed in Australia, built in South America and its main parts were Korean. The only thing American was the badge. Still, it was the next best thing and I cannot wait to visit America again. 🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@howardsalsitzj.d.7818]

+Chiro Videos TV When I was a kid in the 50's-60's (born in 1946), our family had businesses such as junkyards, glass/seatcover stores, and an early speed shop in one of our junkyards. I was raised around American Iron. I currently own a 1967 Pontiac GTO (big engine, mid-sized car) which is a hot rod from the past. I love American Iron (cars). I have traveled the globe but still prefer what we have built here not just for patriotic reasons. Despite being a globe traveler, I have yet to go to Great Britain. We started to go last year (my wife, an author, was to give a talk) but it was too expensive. We might do it yet.

[@ChiroVideosTVlondon]

+Howard Salsitz, J.D. Interesting story and I get where you are coming from. I'd love to be proud of the UK's current motor industry, but most of it is now German! Yes, come over - end of September is a bit cheaper for flights and hotels as you can imagine, and thanks to global warming it's often still quite mild! So much to see here but might be worth including a cheeky trip East to France or West to Ireland while you're over. Avis good for car hire.

[@howardsalsitzj.d.7818]

+Chiro Videos TV Thanks. I was in France while in the Navy. Stopped there in 1965; Marseilles. Would love to see Paris but too much danger. Ireland sounds cool. Just drove a Lamborghini this morning. Gift from older daughter. Interesting. Oh, looked at your website. My wife's first husband is/was a Chiro. He's retired now (health issues). Myself, law but haven't practiced. Do art materials sales now. Okay to email me at [e-mail] if you wish. If not, that's fine, too.

[@rugged04270]

I currently drive an 05 Z51 Corvette.... so I guess I will stick with it.

[@MandusahRamirez]

No sunroof option is the only reason I haven’t bought one of these or a Mustang GT

[@TokyoDensetsu]

At $58k, I'd wait for the new Infiniti Q60 Red Sport. RWD, Twin Turbo, 400HP, Sounds like like a winning package. I will say though, the only thing the Red Sport is missing is a proper manual transmission. If that were to be an option, it would truly be a winner.

[@cte4dota]

Audi tt is not in class with m2 it's tt vs bmw Z series and would they create ttRS ?

[@srpsbb2000]

For 58k, not on your life. but now that 2016's are hovering close to 40k, its interesting, especially when you consider the tuning options for this car. I currently have a 2015 M4 but I'm looking for something fun that can handle Chicago winters better than my M4 and the TT backseat can still fit my 7 year old. I'll look at the TTS but I'm already leaning towards a used M235 xdrive

[@FRWD_FXLRST]

Is it a Haldex system?

[@khalidcarrillo1132]

Yes

[@dylan319]

Loved this

[@chucky7614]

What would I buy with the money? Bearing in mind I'm talking 'local currency' (NZD) - Audi TTS $125k, Porsche Cayman $124k, Jaguar F-Type $125k. I'd probably be picking the Jag, just for looks (yes I know it's slower than the TTS).

[@spinnetti]

You had me until sunroof... I've not bought several Audi's because I couldn't get it Without a sunroof! lol.

[@MrMacusM]

I would take the TTS Quattro over anything you mentioned. I have a Range Rover Evoke HSE however use to have a BMW 3 Series M Sport XDrive & a Fiesta ST before that lol

[@jameslovett8697]

New TTS is slower than older TTRS. When are they releasing the new TTRS?

[@3232schmitty]

+James Lovett Later this year or early next year

[@3232schmitty]

+Bailey Smith Looks like it'll come to the US by this time next year

[@eyros2k]

The TT certainly seems to sit in a niche of Audi's own creation. 'Direct competition' pits this AWD coupe against RWD hard-top convertibles... which is quite the apple and oranges scenario isn't it? For the money then, ($58k, new vehicle, delivered, MSRP, before tax) buys one a fully specced TTS or z4 28i, or essentially bare versions of the SLK300, Corvette, 4C, Cayman and Boxster. If I had to make such a decision my money would likely go toward the C7. Quattro ends up being a deterrent, with no nasty weather to speak of that extra differential just adds complexity and robs efficiency. Both the BMW and Mercedes, despite my love for their styling inside and out, are slotted with engines that - in this price range - just don't match ones expectations. Finally, unsurprisingly, the Alfa and Porsche alike are just too void of amenities at base configuration. In spite of hauling a V8, being a foot longer, nearly two inches wider the Corvette only weights some 140lbs more than the Audi yet manages to produce 163 more horsepower, be more efficient on the highway (EPA claimed). It doesn't hurt that it can be slotted with a manual transmission either...

[@clintdelaney3007]

I agree ive owned two tts I now own an slk because the don't have a sun roof

[@jg4x]

Is the Audi navigation real-time like the Waze app so that you can choose the fastest route based on current traffic? Or is the nav stored on the car's hard drive and maybe pulling the google images in real time or maybe even that is stored in the car's hard drive.

[@depellerinluc]

2017 Camaro 1LE, not out yet but it's got mag suspension and higher insurance premiums which after a while still still cost less than the TTS after its first service I bet.

[@3232schmitty]

+depellerinluc Service is typically paid for under a service package that is significantly cheaper than even one trip without it

[@elcanaldecamilo]

That depends on the person. If you are more petrolhead then you 'll prefer the Corvette,, but if you like luxury then you 'll preferiri the Audi.

[@aex90832]

BMW M2 of course! Motor Trend confirms all of our hopes...the M2 is better than the M4...and is 52k

[@lapamful]

+Alexander Schlesinger yeah totally agree. Am really sick of the VW group's philosophy and engine choices across VW, Skoda, Seat and Audi. None of them compete with one another and some of them are really great cars (chasis) with crap engines because VW doesn't want those other VW group cars competing with Audi. But most Audis are overrated imo especially the TT range.

[@aex90832]

+lapamful I agree with you with exception of quattro gmbh cars. That RS6 is monster...but unfortunately too expensive and not sold for us yanks.

[@beefbroth6539]

In my country, there are taxes based on the displacement of the engine, so the rivals for the TTS (M235i, F Type, SLK350,Corvette etc) are 20-100% more expensive here.

[@AchOwed]

Automatic transmissions are the future. And that (in general) is a good thing.

[@sudd3660]

+The Doc no transmission is the future.

[@verynick]

Audi TTs spits out 292 HP on the dot. But because this is a VW family, HP drops from 292 to 200. ECU has a program where it know when the car is moving and when it is really moving.

[@wonderwall135]

I'd get a c450 amg. Sedans are more practical and that car is amazing. I live in California.

[@wonderwall135]

@sasquatch I am a jerk for having a different opinion?

[@rbassdo]

I drive a 2013 S4. For 52K, I'd buy an S3 but I'd be curious to see if I could get into a Jaguar XE for that money. Those look like a hoot to drive.

[@JoJoJoker]

VW dropped the ball not offering a sunroof on this and the Golf R. Maybe they just want us to get the S3.

[@MotoManTV]

+Abe From an Forgot about them not offering a sunroof on the Golf R . . . Reason for a public draw and quatering!!!!!

[@xerox1408]

I absolutely adore the TTs but for that amount of money: I would buy a Mustang 5.0 convertible, ATS Coupe V6 or one of dodge's Scat Pack, Simply because that is a big amount of money for a small car and I like to carry more friends. Saudi Arabia. Current car 2015 Challenger R/T 5.7 Abdallah.

[@seinsmeld13]

You can't have a sunroof for 1 reason, the US government. They would have to crash test a s unroof equipped car plus one like the one you are driving. In closing I'd buy this car for my wife. Nice review, thanks.

[@Bmwguy2011]

I'd buy (and did, actually) 2016 Golf R low-line with DSG, 37k; should hold its value well and has infinitely more utility.

[@ASecureLab]

It do hold ots value better... but now the tts is the same price as your R and way better with as much if not less milleage ahah. Tip, buy a bit used not new

[@blackpantherx4019]

@motomantv for the price of this TT I would buy a 2007/2008 Audi rs4 which still holds its value from what I researched and add the rest on modifying the suspension and engine and if I had left over cash I Mazda speed 3 .

sunroof literally equals less headroom, sometimes up to 1.5 inches or more in some cases. and every single dealer would order one with a sunroof, GUARANTEED. Because it gives the dealer a bit more markup and profit, all(80%+) would have a sunroof. so basically every guy that is over 6 foot 1 inch, or people with a tall torso would not fit in the TT and would have to travel, order, or compromise in the TT that they would want, like color choice, options, etc... just so they will fit in it. perfect example would be the 2014-2017 Chevrolet SS sedan, go ahead and find one without a sunroof... no go find one of those with a manual transmission... in the color you want.... haha, cant find one eh? not to dislike this video, good review as always though. just stop pushing for sunroofs, us tall people cant fit.. lol

Pricey. It's already the price of range of Porsche's.

[@zelinli4287]

As good as the TTS, Audi should think about the pricing. If it prices at 30k range, it will be a lot more popular.

[@JoJoJoker]

$30K buys very little today. It will get a nice GTI. The changes aren't free!

[@mkygod]

+Zelin Li They shouldn't because that will cut into VW's bread and butter Golf GTI which is one of their hottest selling sports car. A 30k Audi TTS would cannibalize GTI sales, not to mention Golf R sales.

[@zelinli4287]

+Abe From an Yup. Thanks.

[@zelinli4287]

+mkygod Thanks and totally agree

[@1MRJB1]

the Audi TT RS looks flawless. a glass roof make it better

[@NextKnown]

yeah , imma buy this car after like two or three years maybe n

[@dtasca3366]

It's over $65k Cdn! I would buy a used one only if it was manual. So I guess I would go with a '16 Camaro SS.

[@siphonsnob]

There is a 2014 TTRS for sale here in Halifax for $45k Cdn with manual transmission.

[@thevirtualdenis3502]

Hello, i also experience, as described, a lag in accélération. Am i the only one?

[@guco]

I would buy a used Porsche Cayman GTS I currently drive a 2005 Chevy Corvette C6 Z51 and love it but I think I would be willing to sacrifice some horsepower for less weight and mid engine and handling characteristics. The AWD of the TTS is appealing but with 20” tires and low ground clearance it kind of negates snow practicality but I’m sure it’s also great to drive never personally driven one but I prefer a manual transmission I don’t know if the Audi offers that...

[@vh9network]

Audi S4 (B9) it will likely be faster than this TTS and have true Torsen Quattro.

[@alladijaideep]

Gr8!!! Car!!!

[@spinQubit]

i would choose the s3 for 5k less and a sunroof :p

[@ramothepharaoh3]

Audi S5 vs. TTS vs. BMW 340i vs. C450 AMG?

[@3232schmitty]

+RamoThePharaoh I don't think the TTS really competes here against these larger cars. But on this list I'd do the S5 since it can be used in a snow storm here in Michigan

[@sajadghamari4748]

I'd buy TTs rather than other company's car

[@CJSchober]

Already owning one, and about $4k cheaper than this, I'd own a fully loaded Lexus RC 350 F Sport. V6, more horsepower, better looking car and (mind blown) a SUNROOF! All without ruining the design lines of the car.

[@AlienNinjaPuppy]

Chris Schober lmao lexus are known to be ugly cars. audis are known to be beautiful cars and luxury interiors. u can't change what u don't like bro. either rway, the tt is for someone who really wants something different and luxurious.

[@Clorox__Bleach]

I’m a few years late on this comment but wasn’t the 2016 rc 350 f sport like 500 pounds heavier and almost 6 second 0-60? I remember the Lexus tops out around 140mph as well. Still a beautiful car though but what does more hp have to do with it if it’s heavy 😂
