Remains a very underrated car by people who have not driven one for 15 years. An excellent daily driver choice with very good cargo space for a small coupe with seats folded down. The constant Cayman/Boxster comparisons are simply not accurate, as a comparably equipped Porsche is $20,000 more once Porsche starts their "$500 for logos on the seats" nonsense.The TTRS is a tremendous performance value.
A piece of history that will never be repeated. Am a proud onwer of a TTS and the aim is to drive and enjoy it until I return to dust. This is a true iconic design and lucky are those in possession of it.
I rarely comment on YT videos but that was a fantastic review. I love my mk3 TT, but my heart still lies with my last mk1. You feel there's something special about them if ever you've owned one, even though they're a money pit. I'd highly recommend a mk3, they're great cars.
Wow. This guy is a human encyclopaedia on Audi TTs. Excellent extensive review of all models,and Yes,I would buy one.Would love to know if any of the info he was quoting was read off an autocue.?.
Brilliant review! Thanks. Quite the best and most comprehensive I have seen for the TT and I am in awe of the presenters fluency, comprehensive detail, and all round knowledge. Have just agreed to buy a 45 TFSI Black Edition for my wife and this debrief fully vindicates the decision. When I say ‘for my wife’ I think we may be swapping our cars now, more than ever before 😀
Congratz for your proper in depth review! I have a question to anyone that can answer. Does the drive select mode allows you to manually change the haldex configuration just like an aftermarket haldex controller in previous versions?
Awesome review, very informative and it's refreshing to see a reviewer who actually knows his stuff and has done proper homework on the car beforehand!
WoW - what a review! This guy is amazing!! He went through everything.. more then a dealer could ever do in the same time ...TOP MARKS... I went through the whole video and rewound it several times to help me write a few things down as I decide on on options I'm looking for (in a used car)
Great review. I have an 8J Roadster 2.0TFSI and love it. It is very basic compared to the latest model but there seems like there is so much more to go wrong!
I’ve lusted over the Audi TT for many years (last car was a Honda Civic Type R) As I learn more and the TT I fell in love with the idea of a double clutch. I can remember Jeremy Clarkson talking about the TT and saying how it knows what gear you want next and with wonder on his face he said “how does it know?” I test drove and placed a deposit on a mk2 manual TT, that so was not for me. Soon after I found a 16 plate mk3 Quattro! With 19” Wheels this IS THE PERFECT THING. None of that Hard Ride (I had with my old Type R or the 20” of the newer TTS and TTRS of recent. And at 5.3 0-60 it’s faster than most things on the road. I think most ppl only envy the TT as they have to drive a people carrier of some boring 5 seater car for their families. I drive this Car for ME I have 5 Grand Children, but they travel in their Mother’s Cars. 🤣🎶
Just bought my first TT, a 2010 2.0 Quattro. Not as engaging to drive as my 997 but not complaining at $7k. First mainteance will be a new timing chain kit.

What an excellent review. Many thanks but sad to see it may be on it's way out? Reassure me it's not! I have had a 2018 lowly 1.8tfsi Black Edition car for about a month now and absolutely love the way it performs. Lots of options to tailor the drive experience and tweak the infotainment display to how you want it. It corners with so much confidence that it puts a smile on your face and for a relatively low budget. Great car and hope to something to upgrade to in the future. Many Thanks Andy
If you want something different from your usual hatchback or SUV / Crossover then the TT offers a practical alternative - at reasonable expense and is a bit more exciting to look at and to drive. However if you want a more engaging / challenging driving experience then look at Porsche, BMW or MX5 for example. I've got a Mk3 Roadster and use it as a daily driver and I love it.
I had a mk1 with the 1.8 engine, I now have a mk3 with a diesel engine, Quattro and fast, well at least fast enough for me, kenmore to Aberfeldy 6 miles 6-7 mins , and I dont need to brake on a twisty country road great car in whatever guise you buy it in
That's an incredibly specific height to mention, though having seen the rear of the TT it's understandable. We have some shorter people at the office, but even they would find it a squeeze.
Nice cars the TTS had one a while ago changed to a M3 but if honest a Porsche Cayman is a better drive. Holds the road better imo ... which is why I have one
Nice review how reviews used to be about the car not silly top gear road trips love the review it reminded me of Clarkson and Quinton when they used to do the reviews nice work better then the usual car review on here every one’s having a go now 👏🏾👍🏾👊🏽
Very thorough review. I can confirm that a mk1 TT coupe will indeed swallow a racing bike in soft padded bike bag with all the associated gubbins, spare wheels, kit bag etc.
Those figures he’s just quoted for Residual values after three years are way off Your trying to tell me an Audi TT is worth only 40.1% after 3 years ! Dream On pal ! If you can Supply them at me at that price, I will buy it as many as u can get your hands on ! Don’t talk nonsense please !
You can turn off the heartbeat or turn it up or down but I love it Car needs memory seats and advanced cruise and lane keeping and wireless CarPlay Other than that it’s fabulous Oh and the sound Akton has a very annoying buzz I must turn that off
You say that the diesel engine has been dropped in this lineup (3.20) but I can see quite a few on sale on Autotrader. Could you clarify what you mean please.
Hi Jimmy, this is an assessment of the latest model. It's possible the listings you're seeing on Autotrader are older versions for which a diesel powertrain was configurable. Hope this helps - if you'd like further advice please contact our team 👍
@@rivervalegroup The feel of the road, sticks to the road like glue. The TTS engine that you hear when sprinting. The compact feeling and the luxury interior.
I’ve got a 2013 mk2 zQuattro diesel sline it’s awesome,I did have the brake light fault which many have which is due to bad earthing,however it’s awesome to drive always look forward to jumping into it,only bad design fault ide say is the mirror switch,it should be somewhere easier to reach not after the door handle,apart from that loads of boot space,I hate when they moan about the back seats,you don’t buy a car like this if you know you carry backseat passengers a lot,it’s a sports car that’s what it’s meant to be,the back seats are only in to cut insurance down for everyone,

The heart beat sound can be turned down by going into the MMI menu and adjusting the pictured volume knob on the screen. Don't ask me how to do it, because I adjusted the annoying sound out long ago and I can't remember how to do it...
@@oscardominguez1680 of course not. Its very different, all those who tell that everything is "golf" dont have a clue. Different suspension different handling different setup
No idea why but when I watch this guy...I keep thinging of Jonathan Pie. Grip on to something firm everyone, could be some very bad language....maybe not..phew!
It hasn't been a successful model because it doesn't offer enough for the price. Audi wonders why people don't want to pay $52,000 USD for an entry-level TT with some options on it, and the answer is that the Mustang, Camaro, M240i/M2, S3/RS3/Golf R, and even the MB A35/45 all offer more value for money in terms of power and driving characteristics. Frankly, the TTS should be the base trim and it should not be a $63,000 car after putting options on it that make it worthwhile.
It's a £40k car in the UK after dealer contributions and discounts. You can't compare to a Golf or S3/RS3 as those are completely different cars, i.e. family hatch backs, not sports coupes. Also, the TT is way better to drive than both the golf R and S3/RS3 (I have owned the TTS, a Golf R and an RS3... now have a TTRS) A better comparison would be a Cayman with a few options, which will cost you a lot more than a TTS with toys. The TT has been a successful model, just not in every market Audi sells to, that's the real issue for them. Shame, as IMO it is the best car Audi makes right now.

I'd buy it...

Audi actually reversed the decision to discontinue it, was in the news last week

8J is also WAY better looking than the newest mk3
I love my TTRS, such a well built machine.
Great choice, what a beaut 💙

you can turn heartbeat volume down in settings, its a reminder alarm, i have got used to it, if you dont hear it it means something is left on
Such a thorough review, great work! I for one will be sad to see the end of the TT.
Thanks James 👍 great to see comments like this. We can't imagine it will be gone forever...Audi will surely make a revival of the TT at some point 👌

Love it. Bought one in July. Great review. 18:36 TT Owners Manual says no one over 4'9" (145cm) should sit in the rear seats.
That's an incredibly specific height to mention, though having seen the rear of the TT it's understandable. We have some shorter people at the office, but even they would find it a squeeze.

14:31 The screen should be 4K OLED or AMOLED with Nokia Clear Black Technology. If a mobile phone can have this for as little as £600!
20 sec in is 2nd gen TT not 3rd gen 2014
And again later.
Do you think you could get kids in the back seats? Kids are 3 and 5 but would like to keep the car for a few years..

It hasn't been a successful model because it doesn't offer enough for the price. Audi wonders why people don't want to pay $52,000 USD for an entry-level TT with some options on it, and the answer is that the Mustang, Camaro, M240i/M2, S3/RS3/Golf R, and even the MB A35/45 all offer more value for money in terms of power and driving characteristics. Frankly, the TTS should be the base trim and it should not be a $63,000 car after putting options on it that make it worthwhile.
It's a £40k car in the UK after dealer contributions and discounts. You can't compare to a Golf or S3/RS3 as those are completely different cars, i.e. family hatch backs, not sports coupes. Also, the TT is way better to drive than both the golf R and S3/RS3 (I have owned the TTS, a Golf R and an RS3... now have a TTRS) A better comparison would be a Cayman with a few options, which will cost you a lot more than a TTS with toys. The TT has been a successful model, just not in every market Audi sells to, that's the real issue for them. Shame, as IMO it is the best car Audi makes right now.
