2021 Audi TT RS Review

Name: 2021 Audi TT RS Review
Brand: Audi
Price: 37404 USD

Price Estimate: $37,404 - $42,542

Audi applies its high-performance RS formula to the TT, and the result is impressive. This sport coupe hits all the right numbers. True, the back seat is tiny and there's no central infotainment screen. But if you want the ultimate TT, give the 2021 TT RS a look.

Unique gem of a car.

2019 Audi TT RS quattro 2dr Coupe AWD (2.5L 5cyl Turbo 7AM)

Super hard to find and rare. You can get them in almost any color from Audi via exclusive colors. 5 cylinder all wheel drive is great for daily driving in all weather and small foot print makes urban parking a breeze. I’m 6ft and have plenty of legroom. Previous post is incorrect, they are still being made and you can get one for the next couple of years. This is, however, the last …

2018 Audi TT RS quattro 2dr Coupe AWD (2.5L 5cyl Turbo 7AM)

More than a year ago I began to see articles in the automotive press about a new version of the TT RS. I continued to follow reports about that car, and, when it began to appear in this country, I started to look for one. It took about five weeks to find one, but yesterday, 3-13-18, I took delivery of TT RS VIN WUACSAFVXJ1902122. I bought from Cary Audi in NC, and received excellent …

2018 Audi TT RS quattro 2dr Coupe AWD (2.5L 5cyl Turbo 7AM)

Had a 2005 TT roadster. Loved it, one of the best cars I have owned I put 156,000 miles on it. This car is better in every regard except it isn’t a roadster and a manual transmission isn’t available. The electric steering isn’t as good as the hydraulic assisted old style but we are stuck with that now and this one isn’t all that bad. The car handles really good for a front biased all … wheel drive car. My car has all the options except performance plus which I wouldn’t want. I paid for a lot of horse power I rarely use. The TTS would have been a good choice too. A previous reviewer wrote you should get a Porsche as the Audi costs as much. An equivalent Porsche with about the same options would cost 15K - 20K more. I have driven one and really liked it even with the four cylinder engine but I like the Audi too and I feel it is better for every day driving. At least with the Porsche one can order a convertible and a manual transmission. I like the all wheel drive and the almost unique five cylinder engine. They could both be quieter on the highway for touring. But the Porsche is a bit louder. I think the tire noise is at fault. I couldn’t find any 20 inch all season tires for winter so I bought a nineteen inch tire and wheel package because the summer tires which come with the car aren’t suppose to be used below 45 deg. F. I have about 18,000 miles on the car now and haven’t had any problems. At 35,000 miles it has worked as expected. No mechanical trouble. Just had the 40,000 mile oil change early due to time instead of mileage. I only drive about 900 miles/month. It is my everyday car. Very practical for me due to the folding rear seats and hatch back design. Of course it really only can carry two people. The back seats are useless except for small children. The exhaust sound is a little louder with the back seats folded. The tires are too noisy. The ride is firmer than a sedan. I use the comfort mode almost all the time. The transmission isn’t as smart as it thinks it is. I would have bought a manual if I could have. Audi isn’t the only one now to eliminate manuals. They didn’t bring the convertible into the US. I would have chosen that if they had. Apparently, I am in a small minority. Great car. It will probably be my last car. Too bad they won’t make any more TTs. But they do! You can still order one. At 46k I will need new front brakes. Very expensive. I wish it had memory seats. It has two cup holders but only one is actually useful. At 53,000 miles all is good. Tires are a problem. No one has the Michelin Pilot Sports in 20” size. Michelin missed the production due to Covid. I had to go with the similar run flats. Naturally, they ride harder and are noisier. Update at 56,000 miles. Nothing new to add. It is a great little car. It is going on five years old and I frequently get compliments on it. Three people asked or commented today. I didn’t buy it to attract attention but I don’t mind. This is the last year for the TT. Too bad. At 67,000 miles I have replaced the rotors and brake pads. Expensive! A friend did the work so I saved a lot on labor. The plastic ring on the dip stick broke and a new one cost about $62.00 with tax. If that is the worst thing to go wrong I’ll be pleased!
