2009 Audi TTS 2.0T quattro 2dr Hatchback AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)

Review

What a great vehicle. Replaced a Lotus Exige which I mistakenly thought I could manage as a daily driver. The Exige is brilliant but was simply a car to be endured to be enjoyed. What the TTS loses to outright track performance from the Lotus it more than makes up with overall reliability, fit & finish, & comfort. I've had an R32 which the Audi is essentially a sexier, more powerful & luxurious, version. Some alternatives are faster, sharper, cheaper, etc. But, the Audi TTS is a brilliant fast, four-season sports car that can coddle you in luxury, large cargo area, and is a modern classic. Price & Performance alternatives: BMW 135, 370Z. STI/Evo are decent near-luxury considerations

Favorite Features

DSG is impressive; Very rapid shifts. Daytime LED strips are striking. It actually looks cool to have your DRL's on. Pop up spoiler is a nice touch. Highly modifiable and rock-solid engine. Flat bottom steering wheel adds to Audi's gorgeous interiors.

Suggested Improvements

Performance-wise, the steering is arcade-like. Bad. Since this engine comes with a large turbo attached to the 2.0 4 cyl, there is a distinct turbo lag from a stop. It has launch control which is great if you choose to launch from a stop; which you certainly will not be doing at every intersection

wow..that's what anybody I give a ride to in the TTS says after taking it for a spin. No one believes that its a "4 banger". Drove the 370Z, G37, M3, Cayman, Corvette, WRX, etc. Nothing compares to the TTS. this is now a real machine. I'm glad Audi does not advertise in the mainstream market and keeps these gems to true car enthusiasts

Favorite Features

3 ways to drive, paddles, clutchless stick or good ole automatic. The daytime LED lights are a fantasic cosmetic touch. Baseball optic leather seating is out of this world. Aggressive stance when its parked.

Suggested Improvements

Better stock sound system without having to go "Prestige". Controls on steering wheel are single function, i.e..you can't change discs only tracks

2009 Audi TTS 2.0T quattro 2dr Convertible AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)

Review

I recently purchased my 2009 TTS convertible and could not be happier. The exterior look is a unique combination of sophistication and a fun roadster (I get a lot of head turns driving it). The interior design is not only smartly laid out but the quality is obviously of the highest level. It has great acceleration and a very smooth ride and handling at high speeds. While some may say the AWD feature (which is great for northern weather) may detract from the rear wheel drive sensation of speed and acceleration, I have not noticed this. Overall, I cannot find a bad thing to say about this car. It truly is a winner.

Favorite Features

Quality of the interior design. Great acceleration and handling. Unique exterior look.

Suggested Improvements

iPOD port- the car comes with a 6-CD changer only.
