2020 Audi TT RS

A Go-Kart with Leather Seats and Navigation

Thursday, June 04, 2020

Have the 2017 TT Convertible with the B/O stereo and black optics package. I simply love this car! It handles like a dream and has been 100% reliable so far. It has the right amount of power for it's size and we have an Audi SQ5 so I don't miss having the back seat. It gets looks everywhere I go because of its timeless design. (Some kids in the parts store called it a baby R8) I rarely walk away from it without looking back. The traction of the Quattro system means go-kart like handling in all conditions. My only complaints are that the drivers seat is showing a little more wear than I expected with such low mileage. I wish it had a little more sound deadening material on the lower portions of the car (the convertible top is quiet) as it's a little loud on the highway at speed. Also, because the rear view camera screen is part of the virtual cockpit it gets blocked when you're backing up and turning the steering wheel. I've gotten used to it however and the sensors are reliable. Minor complaints aside, I adore this car! And would buy it again.

2018 Audi TT Coupe Competition Pkg /Quattro

Tuesday, June 29, 2021

This is actually my third Audi ( priors-1998 A4 2.8 V6 Quattro -5spd, and a 2001 TT Coupe 1.8T Quattro 5spd) . I special ordered this car and received it June 2018. Tango red w/ Competition Pkg. 16,500 miles ....When new hatch needed to be tightened but that aside she is trouble free. I am so glad I bought the normal TT as the TTS /TTRS seem overkill . I rarely "floor it" ...A 0-60 of 5.3seconds seems quite fast for the street and anything more seems wasted money to impress someone else. I looked at 18 cars when I considered the TT. The BMW 2 series coupe and a Porsche Cayman were close runners but the TT was chosen and offered some practicality , the renown Quattro AWD, $10k less than the Cayman and still gets 29 to 32mpg. Quality is outstanding and just as good if not better interior than the 2 and Cayman. The back seat is useless except in an emergency but at least it has the option . The trunk space is huge and is consolidated (unlike the split trunks of the Cayman . I will keep this car at least the full 4yrs of the warranty period maybe even 5) as yes, there will be another which will eventually catch my eye..... but thinking this is quite special and in no hurry just to chase another XYZ. I heard that 21 is the last year .Only 3500 are sold world wide and it became too expensive to build. ( half in Germany and half built in Hungary) . If interested you won't regret it . Highly recommended and it is rare and unique.

Excellent AWD sports car

My Mythos Black Metallic TTS has the Black Optic Package, red interior and all available options. Love the appearance of the car and have had several strangers comment on how good the car looks or give me a thumbs-up. Once I set-up the Bang & Olufsen sound system to my preferences it sounded great. Materials and build quality are excellent. Ride is firm, but not uncomfortable. Car has great handling response and I like the steering feel which I keep in the Dynamic setting. First time I ran the car on the drag strip using launch mode it recorded a 12.8 second quarter mile. Gets around 24-26 MPG in mixed daily driving.
