I can attest owning a 2009 tts stage 2+ that it really does kinda feel like a v8 R8. I mean there is certainly difference in the drivetrain but given the fact the cabin (especially in the convertible tts) is practically identical its pretty close.

looks very female though

msi the mk1 one looks feminine, if this looks feminine then so does a 350z, all other audi's, golf's, a 370z, and skylines.

@@msi4887 Cars are female...You didn't know?

Ervin0310 tell that to the 10 speed in the zl1?

HighMagnitudeGT ok? that transmission is completely different than the lousy 8 speed in the Vette. You'll click the paddle and it takes forever to up and downshift. The new 10 speed was developed with Ford's help, its not all GM.

wouldnt be surprised if the 10 speed is not as good as a DCT either

GM 10 speed is garbage.

+Ryan Finch Source?

How is it running so far ?

Jurgen Nguyen how do you like it?

What you think of the car, is it worth it?

Hope you enjoy your ride

After 3 years what you think of the car, is it worth it?

@@ricardodomingos8233 yes for 10k

I just picked up a black-on-black 2011 TTS for $9k from 1st owner. At this price it was definitely worth it. 132k miles. In great shape. Love the design and hatchback utility.

I prefer the handling of my Mk2 TTS over my Mk3.

Did you buy it? Is it fast?

Thanks Steven, I appreciate the feedback! I do several extensive rolling shots in many of the cars I review that I have for a longer period of time, primarily like the press cars I get for a week. There's a few different reasons why I don't do drive-by outside shots. The first is that they take a lot more time and work to do when I'm by myself. I'm a one man crew and have time constraints when people lend me their personal car, so getting in and out and driving back and forth over and over again is a lot of extra time. Also, being by myself means I'd have to leave an expensive camera on the side of the road and hope nobody takes it. Unfortunately I don't have access to private or deserted back roads, so dealing with traffic is another consideration. Maybe one day I'll have the luxury of having someone on hand to help film these types of shots for me, but right now it's not possible sadly.

Thank you so much for the reply. I absolutely understand your points. I guess I forgot the fact that you are a one man crew. That totally makes sense to me why you wouldn't be able to get the shots, especially considering the short time you have with the car. Anyway thank you again for the content and your reasoning behind your work.

subaruwrxfan i'd like to be your Nr2 xD but unfortunately i live in europe... nice video, as always :) ... sad that you don't get the VW Scirocco R in the US... would like to hear your thoughts on it ^^

If you need any help filming and are in Jersey you can hit me up! I'd be glad to help

Steven John I agree

Jesse Carmichael are you referring to a separate tune just for the dsg transmission? i have a 2011 TTS with the giac stage 1 tune and my shop recommended the dsg tune. want sure if it was worth it

Yes the separate tune! They're amazing, and if you already have a tune, the transmission tune will wake the car up even more. Highly recommended

Thanks Jesse! I'll definitely do it.

Of course man, all the best! I've got a couple TT reviews on my channel as well if you're interested

Jared Stephenson I liked the Cobalt video...

These don’t come in manual

@@anthonyosuna2476, that's too bad..

Anthony Osuna yes they do I own one

Anthony Osuna What??? You gotta look a little bit more. Mine’s black and manual a month from now still stock.

@@anthonyosuna2476 outside of the US for example in germany they were also available as a manual.

Vanessa Cassiba I just bought a 2010 tts today! Love it

The Mk3 is a like an APR stage 1 tuned Mk2 in my opinion.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!

What year?

Is it fast even in stock?

It’s a 2013 Audi tts prestige, it’s about as fast maybe a hair faster than a 370z. It’s a small turbo 4 cylinder car. The tune wakes it up a lot. I’ve heard that some stage 2+’s are breaking into the low 3 second to 60 range which is wonderful. I’m not sure what mine does yet. I had issues with my downpipe install (it’s on now) but it’s sat me back by quite a bit.

@@sethyork2207 The downpipe is a bitch sometimes.

Texas Car Nerd make that shit happen

Mines being delivered next week!

They dont sell the manual in the US, I think.

Funny you mentioned those two. I know someone with a DS and will hopefully be filming more classics this year once the weather is nicer, so stay tuned!

subaruwrxfan I'll be tuned for that!

๖The ۣۜNotorious yes you can put it up and down at will, you have a button next to the traction control button near the gear stick

๖The ۣۜNotorious yep there is a button near the gear shift. It stays up until you go over 75mph. Then under 50mph it goes back down.

Thanks guys!

go to goapr.com to get all the info you need

APR is great but try to contact Iroz motorsports. They might get you more power.

I have a 2009 TTS (APR) and it is a bit more primitive than the new one but if you can deal with slightly dated aesthetics as well as older technology in exchange for about half the price of the new one then I would go for the mk2

Trevor C. I think that's the conclusion I'm coming to. 🖒

The sport button is in the row of buttons behind the shifter but you still have the exhaust reverberator working in non sport mode it depends on throttle position and engine revs /gear selection.

Gear shifts are "interesting" in manual cars with big power.

@@zipz8423 much more involving. Much better as a drivers car on the track.

@@mrp6459 Agree mate :P

Kelsey Winter-Troutwine no fitting a car seat in the back. Literally a two seater with 4 seats lol had a hard time fitting a 5’5” guy in the back of mine

We fitted my daughters seat in the front, I am not certain but I think they recommended NOT fitting the baby seat in the back. Most of the time we had to use my wifes RS4 to get about.

u can get them for 13k now

@@SniperBob12 Bought mine or £12,500 with 52K miles in immaculate condition.

@@mikejcarthy And what you think of the car, is it worth it? Im wondering buying a 2009/10 tts dsg

@@ricardodomingos8233 Yeah it's a great car just set aside some money to upgrade the stereo the stock one is ancient

Joshua Vazquez hell yeah!

SuzuRyderHD get the 5 cylinder model! It's a mix of he two sounds . And it sounds more unique and is way faster

Vince low 4 second range

Have you ever win some street races with it?

it doesnt compare to an accord lmao

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Is it fast and fun to drive? Your is manual or dsg?

All Audis burn oil by design, the harder you drive the more you will burn. If you drive around like Miss Daisy you wont use any up.

@@zipz8423 why do some cars burn oil by design? The Honda I had before my TTS was the same, is it better for the pistons or engine as a whole? Higher oil pressure causes it maybe?

@@paulstevens9409 Yes indeed, but that was only part of the design thinking. It wasnt perfect. The main reason is to increase fuel MPG by reducing overall friction in the engine, which means more oil will pass the oil control and compression rings around the pistons. The downside is higher oil consumption- it`s a trade off. It is better for the upper cylinder walls but not for the spark plugs or the catalytic converter on high mileage engines. The best way to help yourself is to allow the car to warm up first before engaging warp drive :P

William Stevens Looks like 72k on the dash

I have had 2 TTRSs, I found them to be a bit trickier to drive on the limit than the TTS, which in Mk3 guise is still a bit sketchy especially in the rain.

My wife and I are under 5'8"

Yes a car seat will fit

Dreadful black ones.

2.0 liter.
