    I have one for 4 years now and never ever regretted it.
    I talk from the perspective of a ‚normal‘ driver like the majority of us - I am not a racing driver and have never been on a track.
    This car is absolutely fantastic - it is engineered so well that everyone can drive fast with it. It feels perfectly safe and calm at 150mph on the Autobahn (I don’t dare to drive that fast with my Mustang) and in corners it has so much grip that the limiting factor is the drivers fear to be too fast - but not the car.
    The only bad thing about it is that it collects tickets if you don’t take care!
    Compared with a V8 with 460hp this thing is faster in every discipline you can measure (besides top speed). It accelerates faster and is corners waayyy faster.
    4 wheel drive and turbo chargers turn it into a rocket and you won’t believe how fast it goes until you drive one.
    Above it? There is the TT RS but for god’s sake - the TTS is already too fast for non-racing drivers and the RS will just kill you

Picked up a '62 plate with 70k miles for 9.5k which is an absolute bargain. I highly recommend you consider one if looking for a daily sports car. I think my next move would be into the mk3.

But the TT, inside and out, is more special than the 2 series, and if you're in the UK, where it's wet half the time, the TT is faster.

    I had an ex demonstrator that had just about every option. It was in ubiquitous 50 Shades of Daytona. Had it for 3 years, the only issue was some wayward trim on the side of the drivers seat. Running the thing was night & day compared to the previous Cayman S (huge difference) . They have “enough” .... performance, looks, dynamics (they’re not the under steering barge they get labelled...certainly not on the road), lack of problems, costs. I’d have another, likely an S or even the RS now they’re getting cheaper.

  • @ramalufc322
    @ramalufc322 3 года назад +1

    Just in case anyone revisits this video, the passenger can see the display and use the rotary control to set navigation, choose much etc. The interior is so clean and well designed, especially if you spec the digital controls within the vents, you don't want to sit in it if you are also considering a Boxster/Cayman as it will ruin their interiors for you such that you'll never think they're great. At least, that's what it did for me! If you are looking at the roadster then make sure you've a garage or park nowhere near trees dropping leaves as the roof drain holes clog up very easily and the resultant flood damage can be very expensive 😢

    I test drove my first TTS today, my first Audi in fact. Brand new 2022 TTS. I found it to be a little monster. I found it to be grippy and nimble on turns, which blew my mind coming from a manual Eclipse Spyder GT. I was going through turns at 96-100 mph, in both Dynamic and Manual. I'd be dead in the Eclipse. I found the seats to be stiff though bolstered. And I found the ride to be a bit firm over bumps and cracks. I still liked the car a lot. So I wanted to see professional opinions. Your video nailed the highs and the minor niggles. Thank you. Will I buy it? At USD 62K, not counting a ridiculous 10k markup the dealer is asking, it's the same price as a Tesla Model 3 Performance. I drove a Tesla Standard Base model. While the Tesla is lightning fast, I didn't get the thrill I got from the TTS. So yes, I might.

I must have tried 4-5 different Audi dealerships and not a single one of them gave the tiniest shit about making that happen, never mind getting a sale - which would have been highly likely.
    Went back to BMW and got my second M240i.

    Just a heads up with Audi Service Plan - it’s a fixed fee set by them. My leased A1 only did 5k per annum so had 1 service in 2 years (despite requesting a service in year 2!). When the car went back, I asked for unused balance only to be told is a payment plan and they don’t do refunds! So in short 1 x Oil/Filter & inspection service on a A1 1.4tfsi s-line cost me £380…

    @davidlee4966 3 года назад +3

    A car we both liked, and our view aligned with your review, opted for the Golf R after a lot of deliberation, practicality of carrying 4 in comfort, plus an oddity of road tax swinging the balance, something you did not mention the TTS being north of £500 per year for the first 5 years, the Golf being £150 with the same performance, I just find high road tax annoying. The TT still looks the part, a future classic for sure. PS do a review on your motorcycle when you get some dry weather.

    These are great cars! Forget all of the labels, these are fun, comfortable, great looking and well built cars. I recently purchased a 2018 TTRS and it's not only extremely fast, it gets great MPG when I'm not honking on it. Over 30 MPG on the highway! And it's got loads of space behind the seat. I recently took my daughter to her guitar lesson, and on the way back stopped by an office supply store. There was enough space with the seats down to fit an office chair, her guitar and amp. I couldn't do that in a Cayman!

  • @Alexandreslwong
    @Alexandreslwong 3 года назад +2

    Thanks Matt, great vid as always. I bought a TT from new just 9 months ago, best decision I ever made. Only thing I slightly regret was not getting the TTS - I just could not get over those awful fake vents from the recent face lift, which the TT was thankfully spared from.

    I’ve had a 2015 mk3 TT S line Quattro since August last year. Great little car - More than quick enough for daily use. I’m a 54 year old bloke so generally laugh if people use the tired old cliches 🤣 - I generally find they drive boring family cars or SUV’s but each to their own - I’ve just replaced all 4 tyres with Michelin Pilot Sports - superb in this horrible, wet winter weather. Great review 👍

    We had a 2012 TTS about 6 to 7 years ago. Was alot of fun; fast, sounds great, handles well. Absolute B road weapon. I always got the hairdressers car comments and would offer those people a ride in it. Those that got in for a terror ride soon changed their tune haha.

    Cool review, mate. I bought one a couple of years ago, and absolutely in love with it. If I had to sell it right now in order to buy a new one, I could only think of a real serious badass sports car...not an f -type, not a Cayman...probably something like an AMG GT. Fuckin' love my TTS.

    I had a MK II TTS for 6 years, bought for $59,000 CAD and sold 6 years later for $34,000.
    It was always a blast to drive with a super low driving position, it felt special.
    My current MK 7.5 Golf R is almost the performance equal of the MK III for $20,000 less albeit with a more boring design.

    As many 'car enthusiasts' have found out the hard way (usually in Subaru Imprezas), 4 wheel drive doesn't give more GRIP and allow you to safely ENTER a corner at higher speed. 4WD only provides extra TRACTION coming out of corners. Many a hedge has played host to high performance vehicles due to this minor misconception. 😁

    100% it would be better with a centre screen. I often do ask my passenger (partner) to sort the nav and music selection. Too distracting having that all on one selfish screen. Did yours burn oil? Some EA888 engines take care of their own oil changes.
