I've owned a 2018 for the last year. Bought a very low mileage car, only 5,700 miles. The car has an APR stage 1 tune and is a beast! I leave the rear seats down, which not only gives you a ton of extra space in the back, but has the added benefit of making the exhaust louder in the car :) . Yes, it has grip for days, a super engine with a unique sound and minimal turbo lag. On a highway trip averaging 75 mph, I can get 35 mpg. I average about 26 mixed. A very underrated car!!

Audi over everything

I'm waiting to hear about the amount of Velveeta cheese that can be fit into a door pocket!

A true sports compact. Perfect size, IMO. Unfortunately, it was ahead of its time…no one wanted to fork out +$70k for a 5cyl. But now that everyone is going turbo 4, the TTRS is (finally) looking more reasonable. In addition, when Audi dropped the manual option, the TTRS lost its last remaining fans. It’s sad to see great cars getting mismanaged.😢

Fell in love with the 1st gen when I was 9yo, and knew at some point I'd get one. Fast forward 21 years, with everything going electric/ crossover, I knew my time was running out to get one; especially with how hard they are to find in the US. Was lucky enough to find a Turbo Blue TTRS with only 7k miles on it for $65k last year. At the time it wasn't my most ideal decision financially, but I knew my chances of finding another in that color and mileage was probably never going to happen again. I cut back on spending, sold my Lexus RC350, and put as much of my spare income towards the car to keep the payments manageable, and now the car is paid off! The engine and sport exhaust alone is worth the price, take it from me. Got a Unitronic Stage 1 tune with the trans tune gets it to about 475hp, and is a supercar killer with plenty of room for groceries and luggage.

stopped watching after the price

This is one of the most underrated cars out there

Pocket rocket.

I wish they would relaunch the TT as an all-electric 2 seater with large trunk space. It would be the best city daily driver. I want a 3 door car that's NOT the MINI Cooper or some quirky looking hatch.

Something just hit me while I was just listening to the audio of this while making food....Joe ACTUALLY sounds like a mix of Trevor and Michael in GTA V when he gets excited HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

The TT has an iconic shape, very unique. These cars are awesome.

Congrats on 1 mill subs dude! Thanks for all the in depth super content from you and the team. 🎉

I’ve had my TTRS for two years and I love driving it. It’s a great car that truly punches above its weight.

I own a 2012 Audi TT for a few years...what a fun car! Overall great handling even in rain/snow!

Audis are just fantastic. I bought a brand new S5 in 2018 and it just rolled passed 100,000 miles. Love the drive and the build quality. Great video!

I love the TTRS, I’ll miss this and the R8. Great review, thank you for the thorough coverage.

Love your very thorough reviews, very straight to the point, full of info and don't miss a thing. You're like car ASMR, your reviews are just satisfying 😆

Thanks for highlighting this beauty, Joe!

Absolutely loved how it sinks in for a moment deep tone exhaust for the launch. Just awesome.

Joe, your love for this car shows, brother, and for good reason. It’s special. The next TT will be another f*ing EV crossover. Glad I got mine with this special 1-2-4-5-3 5cyl turbo!
