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

Review

If you're looking for an car that will turn heads then this is your car. I think in the Audi family r8s, s5s, ttrss and ttss turn heads. I would like to say rs6 and rs4 but you need to be an Audi fan to know what there about. I purchased our new car and instantly feel in love coming from an 2001 a4 then an 2006 a4 2l tfsi quattro, we are slowing working our way up. Our car is polar orange and its stunning. Manual gear box and upgraded leather package. New Zealand roads are perfect for these cars as they are mostly hilly and winding roads. You feel feel safe when driving them in all conditions. Hopefully one day we will move into an r8 or similar. Audi rocks !

Best Features

Colour, leather package, finishing, fuel economy Urban, stereo. Were do I stop .

Worst Features

Being on the lower end of an upmarket car. Car should come with full options without paying for them .

Review

... and it definitely delivers. I knew I was in trouble when I test drove it at the dealer. Wasn't looking to buy that day, but after the drive I knew I was taking it home. I've had it for almost a year now and very happy with my choice. The car corners and handles with supreme confidence. It's unbelievable coming from a 2001 TT - what I can do with this car! Coming from a manual I was a little skeptical of DSG. But the ability to paddle shift (key when engaging in spirited driving), the smoothness and quickness of DSG sold me pretty quickly. Very rare to see the a TTS too. I've only seen one other in the Bay Area.

Best Features

Unbelievable grip devours foul weather and curves; spirited acceleration and boost (especially with the APR chip which makes it a true sports car IMO with 315HP and TQ); killer looks inside and out (love my baseball optic interior); DSG; LED running lights; trunk space; gas mileage; rare

Worst Features

MMI could be improved although I understand it is better on the 2010 model with integrated traffic, quicker route calculation and improved graphics. People sometimes have a hard time hearing me when using the handsfree bluetooth with my iphone. Reliability is a concern with 2 recall notices already

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

Best 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.

Worst Features

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

Review

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

Best 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.

Worst Features

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
