' 2015 / 2016 Audi TTS (8S) ' Test Drive & Review - TheGetawayer

Audi has launched the 3rd generation of the TT and I had the chance to spend some time in the TTS, which is currently the strongest version on the market. With a new fully digital dash for the MMI media system, a new chassis for better handling, less weight and 310 hp from the 2liter TFSI engine, this TTS with quattro allwheel drive, drive select and Audi magnetic ride is a fun sportscar for public roads ....

Finally. A car reviewer who isn't obsessed by how a car performs on track and concentrates on real world driving. Refreshing. Top work!

Guido, as a reviewer you shouldn't feel obligated to avoid subjects like awkward User Interfaces for fear of upsetting the manufacturer. it's your opinion and if nobody shared their feedback progress and evolution would happen a lot more slowly. thanks for the upload, great job! :)

Another great review Guido! I wasn't too impressed by this car's looks when it first came out, but the looks are really starting to win me over now, and your beautiful visuals definitely help! This seems like a fun car but I think the RS model is the one to get, that awesome sounding 5 cylinder would certainly address the noise complaints! It's great to see Audi providing you with test cars the way you prefer them, and it's great to see that Audi even offers the TT with a manual still for this new generation. Looking forward to the next review!

GWayer, just so you know, you're my new favorite car reviewer.. Great job.

Finally the TT is a design success! It looks so sexy inside and out! Well done Audi!

This is the Audi TTS I will buy if you bring it to U.S.A  (Audi)!  Speaking as a happy former Audi TT owner my biggest complaint is and was the fact that you never offered a true manual option to the TTS line up here the U.S.A . I know Audi you may say the you brought the TT/RS State side, but what I wanted hint, hint, wink, wink ;) was a daily driver.  TheGetwayer nailed it on the head with this review about a balance between sporty and comfort meaning hitting the check list of a daily driver's car.(manual+engagement=)

The tts really is a fantastic car, I have a 2015 manual, my previous car was a tt tdi which I had from new. Your reviews are far more informative than many I have seen thanks

[roomfactor]

I agree that the previous analogue speed dials were so much cooler!

[da_heee]

Perfect review... the comparison with the "old" RS ... good idea, great video!

[kevinho]

for me looks are everything in a sports car, handling and power too yes but looks first and i love this 3rd gen tt I cant wait to see it in person, they really did well on this one. It's futuristic style done in a modern way so it looks like a beautiful finished car and not a concept I love it :D

[billsheehy]

Great review. We don't see the new TT in the states for another year. I test drove the Cayman and hated it. Leg room sucked and low power. The TT is great on leg room and much more fun to drive. Better looking too. Thanks Guido.

As ever a fantastic review! A great car for anyone to go out and drive quick! Your previous TTRS review helped reinforce my purchase of the Plus version and it regularly gets driven as you say 'Spirited' around wet Welsh UK Roads, I hope you get to test the 2017 version soon! I do however think for most drivers the S-Tronic is the perfect match : )

[guillermomonroy]

Fantastic review. I will have to watch your other videos!

Great, clear English.

In some regions of the USA, roads are not as nice and smooth. Do you have any sense of the road comfort on less than ideal roads?

[Potsnu]

I love your reviews as always, one of my favourite on YouTube. You speak the truth and touch on key points about the non-European tires and the over complication of the controls of the interface

Too many reviewers get too technical, but you find a great balance in connecting with the average car enthusiast who might buy these cars.

Having said that, I am quite happy with my 981 and I doubt the TT would ever sway me over :)

That all in one screen is holding me back. Wish they had went with the A3 hide in dash screen. I get what you talk about how there are people that just want a sporty car that at time drive fun but most of the time just for relaxing cruising. Reason why all in one screen turn me off a bit. Nice review. I still will consider this

[markej]

As an owner of the '08 3.2L TT cabrio, I really appreciate your thorough, honest evaluation of this fun to drive vehicle.  With you, I feel quite comfortable with the capabilities of the TT.  I find it very responsive and quick while still titillating my comfort needs.  I like the looks of the dash in the videos, but haven't made the time to go to the dealer to see it in person.  I typically like digital dashes, so will be glad to see this in action.  My biggest concern is the updates to the maps that DVDs are so woefully lacking.  Audi charges ridiculous prices for their upgrades IF they ever put them out, so I'm using a dedicated GPS which was half the price and does twice as much, but has to sit on top of the dash. :(  Your other comments are all well placed.  Great job!

previous gen of TTS was one of my favorite car..hope this too!

[seinsmeld]

Great review Guido. I bought a 2016 S3 rather than a TTS as I have two children and a wife. I needed a little extra interior room. Anyway loving it so far. Keep up the great work. Cheers from a Canadian fan.

[mikesmith]

Great review again Guido. Quite tempted by one of these or a previous gen TTRS (needs to be manual for me either way) - I can't tolerate an overly firm ride though... any thoughts?

[khalid]

Great work as usual. Would love to see a review from you of the AMG GTs
