  • I was able to test the latest 2022 Audi TTRS recently, it’s been a while. But, it was just as epic as I remembered. Hope you enjoy my review of the great little car.

    I need to add that the price range for these is actually £60,000 - £70,000 - not £70,000 - £80,00.
    Apologies!

    Got a 2018 TT RS for about 3 yrs now and it’s a blast. I have a stage 2 E85 tune on it which is about 621 hp. I’ve done 0-60 in 2.5 and qtr in 10.1. Neither was a great launch. The he car is a beast and o drive it all year round. Love my RS.

    I bought one of these earlier this year at MSRP, but that was still $76K USD.
    The only thing I've done for it, that I would recommend to anyone daily driving this like me, was to get 18" forged wheels and a nice set of high performance all season tires with a nice thick side wall.
    It's pretty comfortable now and with the lower rotational mass my 0-60 has gone down to 3.4s.

    This is a very helpful review. I just wondered if you had a view on whether this should be bought with magnetic ride. The audi showroom have said that’s more relevant for track days where a stiffer suspension may be required. However, I wondered if magnetic ride makes the comfort mode ride softer? Is the sports edition suspension too firm?

    Bang on as usual !! 👏
    Had a MK2 TTS and it was probably the longest I kept a car for (3 years) !
    Loved mine although I did spend a small fortune keeping her in fine fettle ! Never once had any traction issues....just plant it and go no matter what the weather !!
    Only thing missing was the 5 pot and the extra grunt ! That sound 💙!! Who needs a stereo 🤣 Great car !!

    Hey, do you think this is still worth a fair more thousands more compared to a RS3 nowadays? This is the closest vid I've come across where you've swapped from driving a RS3 to this back to back, but feel you didn't give more of a comparison between them other than feeling more old school and the more darty handling, etc. Do you think it's worth spending the extra? Thanks! Very seriously looking at them both atm.

    • @CarFocused
      @CarFocused  Před měsícem +1

      It all depends what you want from the car - obviously the RS3 will be more practical in terms of daily use but the TTRS is definitely more raw, and would be the better car for taking out for a spirited drive imo. I’ve had two of these on the channel now and loved them both, it’s a baby R8 😊 If you can find a low mileage 2018 car with sports exhaust I’d go for that, before the emission regs came in and muted the cars with the GPF’s 🤦🏼‍♂️ The RS3 felt a bit clinical really in all honesty, albeit still a great car.
