I was able to test the latest 2022 Audi TTRS recently, it’s been a while. But, it was just as epic as I remembered. Hope you enjoy my review of the great little car.
Got a 2018 TT RS for about 3 yrs now and it’s a blast. I have a stage 2 E85 tune on it which is about 621 hp. I’ve done 0-60 in 2.5 and qtr in 10.1. Neither was a great launch. The he car is a beast and o drive it all year round. Love my RS.
Bang on as usual !! 👏 Had a MK2 TTS and it was probably the longest I kept a car for (3 years) ! Loved mine although I did spend a small fortune keeping her in fine fettle ! Never once had any traction issues....just plant it and go no matter what the weather !! Only thing missing was the 5 pot and the extra grunt ! That sound 💙!! Who needs a stereo 🤣 Great car !!
Mate it’s basically a baby R8. The soundtrack is addictive, and it’s very capable too. TTS is the same engine as our Cupras isn’t it? Albeit the older version. As we know, they’re quick too 😁
I bought one of these earlier this year at MSRP, but that was still $76K USD. The only thing I've done for it, that I would recommend to anyone daily driving this like me, was to get 18" forged wheels and a nice set of high performance all season tires with a nice thick side wall. It's pretty comfortable now and with the lower rotational mass my 0-60 has gone down to 3.4s.
Stunning colour but not sure on the diamond cut wheels. I actually prefer this to RS3. Pricing again is too much, which is a shame. It does sound gorgeous but 5 pots always do. Great video mate.
This is a very helpful review. I just wondered if you had a view on whether this should be bought with magnetic ride. The audi showroom have said that’s more relevant for track days where a stiffer suspension may be required. However, I wondered if magnetic ride makes the comfort mode ride softer? Is the sports edition suspension too firm?
I’d literally just jumped out of the RS3 at this point and that was my conclusion haha. The TTRS is definitely more old school inside, less busy and more functional than the RS3.
@@HVACRTECH-83 I’ve never been in both? There’s literally a video of me driving the RS3 on my channel 😂 Just my opinion though, which we’re all entitled to 😊
Had mine from new 8 months ago. Absolutely brilliant drive. Pussy cat one minute, roaring lion the next. Went for the basic RS with the Comfort & Sound pack all for £52500 on the road. Don't see the the point of paying any more for the Sport or Vorsprung versions. Its the engine that matters,
I have to get this car 🚙 in blue 😂 I have the vr6 mk2 manual and don’t think 🤔 I should trade it in because it’s so unique 😊 they don’t make manual transmission anymore 😢
Hey, do you think this is still worth a fair more thousands more compared to a RS3 nowadays? This is the closest vid I've come across where you've swapped from driving a RS3 to this back to back, but feel you didn't give more of a comparison between them other than feeling more old school and the more darty handling, etc. Do you think it's worth spending the extra? Thanks! Very seriously looking at them both atm.
It all depends what you want from the car - obviously the RS3 will be more practical in terms of daily use but the TTRS is definitely more raw, and would be the better car for taking out for a spirited drive imo. I’ve had two of these on the channel now and loved them both, it’s a baby R8 😊 If you can find a low mileage 2018 car with sports exhaust I’d go for that, before the emission regs came in and muted the cars with the GPF’s 🤦🏼♂️ The RS3 felt a bit clinical really in all honesty, albeit still a great car.
I’d pay good money for a car with that 5 cylinder engine. Unfortunately not £70-80k though 😂 Great car. Wait for all the hairdresser comments but it would need a hell of a lot of haircuts to pay for one
@@CarFocused thanks for the recommendation. How is the Turbo Blue colour? Is it nice in person or too bright? I’m considering this or the Ara Blue, but the Ara Blue won’t match the extended blue interior I’m going for (believe interior is in satin Turbo Blue).
@@talhaahmed7255 Turbo blue is very nice and vibrant. Certainly stands out. Your best bet is to go view them in the flesh as video / photos doesn’t quite do them justice.
Personally I love the 5 pot TTRS (had me two of them) but in all honesty the TTS is the sweet spot in the range for spec, performance and price, also a little lighter on the nose
I drove a 2017 TTS for 3 years and put a Stage1 Unitronic in it for around $1K US. Drove like a Banshee and almost the same sound as the 5 pot - amazing car
