Never mind the car im jealous of having a house in Cornwall, seriously though i have a S5 Sportback and the rain water coming in the boot is a pain, it also does it on occasion with the front doors if the car is parked on a street with a bit of a rake and if you power wash the front doors at a certain angle a small amount of water will manage to spray inside due to the frameless windows.

Great 'real-world' review Pete. I've had my 2015 TTS for 3 months now and use it daily in London, with regular weekend trips out of town. It's been phenomenal so far, striking the perfect balance between a sporty city car with impressive practicality, easy going motorway cruiser and a total beast whenever the opportunity arises. The S-tronic box and various driving modes are so flexible, allowing me to drive in whichever mood I'm in, which is a huge real-world bonus. The 20" alloys are a nightmare in town but apart from the little issues you've pointed out, I don't think there are many sporty cars that offer such an all-round package. I highly recommend the TTS as a perfect daily! Looks fab in Sepang Blue too! 😊👌 Have a great holiday and enjoy your remaining time with the car! 👍

They are dropping the TT because it sells so few. Part of that is because everybody wants SUVs, part of that is because there's an $11,000 USD difference between a TT and its equivalent A3-series counterpart. You get less car for more money and that makes it a hard sell for what is otherwise the same vehicle. Like, TTS money gets you an RS3...

I’ve had a TDI for 4 1/2 years and have enjoyed every minute behind the wheel. I do about 18k a year (and pay for my own fuel!) s economy was a major consideration when I bought it, but the fun factor, even with “only” 180bhp, is very high. The handling is second to none, the comfort is as you describe (very good) and the tech is intuitive and extensive. I am also a fan of rag tops, but the TT coupe just looks far better and I have never regretted getting it rather than the roadster. All in all a delightful car to own and drive, and as I look for a replacement I am struggling to find an alternative to getting another one! I only wish Audi did a wider range of leather colours for their interiors. Dark grey or black is very unimaginative!

A very timely and helpful review for me as I am right in the middle of trying to decide what my next car will be. I have always been a fan of the TT but have never owned one, but now I am struggling to knock it off my short list. One of the reasons I have passed on them before is the view I have heard amongst my fellow petrol heads that it is a ladies car (some of the less reverent of my social circle even call it a hairdressers car...). At the risk of further offending the male respondents here I welcome (polite) replies that I can pass on.... Seriously, as somebody who once owned a 911 but can no longer afford one I see a lot of parallels in the TT(S) in terms of performance and practicality - for less than half the price ! Hmmm... sorely tempted.

I can say the first few generations did look like a LADIES car, had the total VW beetle look etc..........HOWEVER, that changed in the last update COMPLETELY! More than EVER this car draws WOMEN in for the DATE! It has overcome all of the short comings in looks, mean looking front end, sexy curves entirely, gives the R8 a run in the looks department! Compared to PORSCHE, this car is a toyota for reliability! Buy used and certified etc, at 45% less and you have found HEAVEN on EARTH! Handles in my opinion much better than a Porsche cayman S (not the 911) and looks better than a $300,000 Mclaren IMO!

OK, rear 'seats' are for kids, both other than that, a great daily driver and MUCH sharper than my RS3 to drive. Better driving position as well and no stupid pop up screen to distract me. Glad Audi didn't put one in the TT. Only thing I don't like are the fake rear vents on my car and the slightly muted sound - my RS3 popped and crackled, my new TT RS doesn't. I'm currently looking for an aftermarket exhaust and remap to solve this issue.

Hey bro. I’ve had an F type V6S and a TTS, and driven the TTRS.

I’d definitely say get the TTS if you’re after good handling and performance, and get the F Type if you’re after sporty cruiser.

Like you I'm a big Audi fan. Maybe one day I'll get to drive one. Funny the difference between the U.K. and the US. The TT is considered a girls car. Either the coupe or the convertible. Loved the insight thanks

It is over here too...but only by people that haven't driven one ! Each Mk of TT has got better too. The Mk1 was basically a Golf with nice bodywork. This Mk3 is 100% TT and drives like it too 👍

Interesting your point about Audi’s being a bit sterile Pete. I chose the S1 over the Mk 7 Fiesta ST for exactly that reason. The ST was more edgy but I love the refinement of the S1. Plus, down here in Cornwall, you rarely see another S1 👍
@PetrolPed5 жыл бұрын
My Mini is edgy which I love, but for everyday use you can't beat the traction and shear grip of a Quattro Audi 👍

The earlier MkIII. tts is MUCH nice. It’s also a better car. Audi have swapped quality for a few Max Power stylie vents and slashes that look complete crap. Gimme the earlier model every time.

Just picked up my 2 year old TTS Coupé. Having a 5’3” tall wife and 2 similar sized daughters it works well as a 2+1 with the front passenger seat pushed forward. Having moved from a series of BMW 5’s, the last being my beloved BMW 530d m sport, I am looking forward to many years of back country riding ahead! It’s not as comfortable on the motorway but superb on A and B roads.

Funny, "...cup holder is too small for a 2 liter bottle and the seat belt slides off my shoulders now and then". Otherwise...perfect! I have a 2001 TT Quattro 225 and I'd have to say the same thing after 7 years...wouldn't trade it for anything else, way too practical, gets 38 mpg, and it will pull 2 G's on a banked curve in the mountains and not squeal the tires.

I owned a 2017 TTS for 8 months and adored it for 7 months of that ownership. It then started to rattle badly, so surprised. And I also thought the mag ride even in comfort was pretty poor. So it had to leave the family but was replaced by a Porsche Cayman 718 ! Needless to say I don’t miss it
@93455Driver5 жыл бұрын
Sarah Naden Very cool - what options did u get with the 718?
@luciussander82175 жыл бұрын
Nothing wrong with the mag ride in the TTS. I owned one for a year - Comfort was the best setting - not just from a ride perspective, but handling too. I tracked it twice and found Dynamic did the turn in no favours and in Comfort, the car felt much more balanced. I did look at a Cayman GTS before ordering my TT RS - what I didn't like was the dated interior, poor practicality and crappy engine sound. Close call though, but the RS I have now is awesome.

I’m lucky enough to have one. Every day you can drive a different form of car. Auto / manual / paddles/ sport/. Dynamic/ economy/ configure your own between engine / gearbox/ suspension performance. It’s endless. And on and on. The TTS is the fore runner in design for every other car. That includes the r8. Just make sure you choose your replacement tyres as Audi recommend. I didn’t , I chose and went for Dunlop. Because I was going through a se of fronts after 7 k. Dunlop’s is too soft sidewall although quieter and last longer. Stick to hankook or it starts with a B. You won’t be beaten in a race with many cars including all porches. 0-62 in 4.3 seconds. Any faster. And you’d shit yourself. I bought myself ne as a for life car. I’m on my fifth year now. No regrets. Nothing went wrong in that time. And whenever I need a thrill during lock down . I’m off at plumptown. Yes I’m still paying it up but be god it’s worth every penny.
