Sadly only one more year of the TT. This vehicle has a cult following, I’ve owned 2 of them and they really were fun to drive. The TT RS is a powerful turbocharged five-cylinder engine that can be a daily driver, track car or a blast to drive. The handling is tight and precise with excellent traction to the road from its Quattro all-wheel-drive system, optional 20” alloy with super handling grippy tires. All bundled with some of the top technology that’s easy to use and is extremely driver-centric.
The seats are designed to be supportive with side bolster support, lumbar and plenty of adjustment and comfort. I love the carbon inlays, the red striped belts and the Alcantera on the shifter, steering, seats and some panels.
The only thing I noticed that could be frustrating from a performance perspective, is that about at about three-quarter throttle, it seems to have a gap before it goes to full throttle. This may be a computer-related design to keep people from doing stupid things. Either way, it does have quite a performance, excellent handling and stickiness to the street. The brakes are excellent and will stop on a dime. With low 0-to-60 times, this vehicle and certainly play with some of the more expensive cars on the block.
Surprisingly, the fuel economy combined is about 23 miles to the gallon, the way I drove it I don’t think it’s going to make those numbers. But I think if you drive it every day you should have no problem meeting those numbers.
The warranty is 4 years / 50,000 miles, that is much appreciated for a German car that can get expensive to maintain.
