2018 Audi TTS quattro 2dr Coupe AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)
If you don't haul a lot of people around, the TT (or TTS) is a great car. It offers Quattro AWD, which is perfect for being a year-round car. The styling is on point and I receive a lot of compliments on mine. I've owned mine, new, since 2018 and have had NO issues with it. Performance is good, it's quick and handles well. Considering there aren't many sports coupes on the market … anymore, the TT rises to the top and it's clear why it has always sold so well. It's sad that Audi is discontinuing the TT line in the coming year (2023).
Edmunds Summary Review of the 2018 Audi TTS quattro Coupe
Pros & Cons
- Pro:Impeccable cabin design bolstered by impressive level of technology

- Pro:Precise handling that makes it easy to maneuver in any situation
- Pro:Standard all-wheel drive means it's sure-footed in any kind of weather
- Con:Not many easily accessible storage places to stash small items
- Con:Limited cargo space, so you need to pack light
- Con:Rear seats are better for carrying your bags than they are for people
Which TTS does Edmunds recommend?
Like the other vehicles in the TT range, the 2018 Audi TTS is sold in a single trim level with a ton of standard features. It's worth springing for the Technology package since it's not too pricey and adds a high-end Bang & Olufsen sound system and a navigation system with seriously attractive graphics. The S Sport Seat pack is another reasonable upgrade if you prefer full leather seating over the simulated-suede seat inserts.

Driving
If the standard TT is any indication, the TTS will feature an excellent quick-shifting gearbox and an all-wheel-drive system that will keep it glued to the ground. According to Audi, the estimated zero-to-60-mph time is 4.6 seconds, which is about a second quicker than the TT.
Comfort
The standard seats have firm, comfortable cushions, adjustable lumbar and plenty of lateral support. In its Comfort setting, the suspension is compliant enough to smooth over smaller road imperfections. Combine these qualities with the quiet cabin and you've got a coupe suitable for long trips.
Interior
The TTS' low-slung nature will make it difficult for some to gracefully enter and exit, but it feels roomy inside even for taller passengers. The thin roof pillars make it exceptionally easy to see out of. Don't think you're buying a true four-seater; the backseats are basically useless.
Utility
Standard trunk space measures 12 cubic feet. Fold the rear seats and the cargo area will swallow two golf bags. Interior stowage is sparse, limited to modest door pockets, a small covered bin and armrest space shared with a flip-down second cupholder.
Technology
Most Audis use a central display screen, but the TTS' infotainment display is entirely contained within the digital instrument panel (Audi's Virtual Cockpit). Drivers can navigate its menus using buttons on the steering wheel or the controller just aft of the shifter.
