Audi calls the 2017 TT RS a 'compact supercar', and while the numbers in the brochure support this, how does it work on the road?

2018 Audi TT RS Quattro review
Owner Review | 21 Feb 2019
So, three months on and I’ve started to get comfortable with my new TT, which replaced my 911 (for reference) ! Now, the TT is fast,very fast, the fastest car I have ever owned, the engine is glorious and the gearbox a perfect match. It sounds wonderful when it moves, did I say how well it moves ? The cabin is a wonderful place to be when it’s cruising or flying, as the cockpit was designed like a pilots seat it is perfect. BUT, how could a company the size of Audi then start to disappoint, I ask myself ? People, the company brag about this Quattro thing, oh my what a disappointment, I own a ‘Super Car’ performance that is mostly front wheel drive ? I have a steep driveway and hoped Quattro would help, my God, the clunk the clang of gears sort of engaging, the wheel spins - My wife’s Countryman embarrasses the TT, My conclusion is that Quattro is probably 90 % Marketing and only engaged 10% of the time in anyone’s regular drive - It’s a poor application of possible all wheel drive. Then there is the paint job, perhaps Audi were trying to keep the car light by spraying a few, very few coats, of that metallic paint with maybe two if not one coat of clear.. Common Audi, $150k car (list price) and no paint to protect it Patheitc effort ! Oh did I forget to mention the exhaust rattle on it’s glorious warmup cycle, maybe they forgot to tighten something while rushing it through the paint booth which may explain the atom thin paint job ! But lets forgive these oversights. Perhaps a giant such as the size of Audi could get the software right, in particular the parking sensors? Nope, I guess they are just starting to understand how these new fangeled things work - Please, please have your software engineers drive a Countryman JCW and see how it’s done properly ! Oh, think about iPhone & Android integration.... it’s not hard, they are the only to major systems out there. Oh, don’t let me forget about steering this rocket, mmm ya don’t, the guys that designed the TT RS probably think there’s no need to feel the road because you are in a cockpit n flying, bloody disappointment again. ! What about it’s handling? You know it ‘flys’ but I didn’t tell you it’s a boat also, it must be because it’s the only reason it wallows about like a drunken sailor once you want it to ‘fly’ in any direct other than a straight line. It’s heartbreaking that Audi, with its heritage, scale, and resource could screw up such potential ! Very sadly I can only say spend a touch more and look elsewhere I fear the shortcomings are likely inherent in how they run their business, in my most humble opinion as an owner - for not too long, I did give them a chance, at my cost unfortunately.
2010 Audi T Rs Review
Owner Review | 14 Dec 2015
Audi's TTRS combines the appeal of a 2 door sports coupe, with the engine performance of its 2.5L 5cyl turbo engine to deliver an impressive performance car. I had purchased this car to replace a BMW e90 M3, and was very surprised at the performance on offer. I had also test driven a Mercedes C63 AMG, but the performance of the Audi really surprised with the low down torque of the 5cyl and the grip from the quattro all wheel drive. On the road, the car would be one of the best performance cars I have owned, having previously driven a Lancer Evolution X, a Ford XR6 Turbo, a Mazda 3 MPS, a few modified Japanese cars and of course my BMW M3. The traction from the Quattro all wheel drive is outstanding in the dry or the wet, having sampled the car across many of QLD's popular driving roads. The surety of traction in any weather conditions made it easier to drive than even and M3 through the twisties, and the grunt from the 5cyl Turbo engine easily eclipsed the performance from my previous Evolution X. The 6 Speed manual is a joy to use, with rations perfectly matched to the power and torque of the engine. It can be a bit notchy however and doesn't like to be rushed through the gates. The engine is a revelation, and provides so much torque down low that it can climb a hill or incline in 4th or 5th gear where most cars would need 3rd. My car is a white TTRS (Suzuka Grey is the official colour) with black Rotor Arm Wheels, and a black carbon fibre fixed rear wing. On the inside it has the race bucket seats (manual adjust only but look much better than the standard seats and grip you better during spirited driving) in black leather. I have a preference for white cars with black so my TTRS ticks the boxes for looks also. The S button also liberates the exhaust and changes the throttle mapping for better response for a more sporty experience, but it is best left to the track or spirited driving, as the car uses substantially more fuel and becomes very touchy to drive. Fuel usage has been very good averaging 8.5l per 100km over a mix of highway and urban driving when driving normally. However during spirited driving it can average as much as 18l per 100km. Expect to achieve around the 10l per 100km for mixed driving use, which is a good result for a performance car. The car has been very reliable and hasn't missed a beat. I have had to have the Air Conditioning replaced under warranty, and the clip holding the rear parcel shelf broke, which was replaced at my cost and was a $800 repair job. The car however has had some frustrations during my ownership. I had purchased the car as a second hand car and have travelled over 21K kms in over a year of driving. Firstly the cost of parts for the car has been on the expensive side, though overall not too bad for a car that was $140K to buy brand new. I had bought my car as a 4 year old car with 45K kms for nearly half that price. The major issue is that the TTRS is a niche model and I have found very little aftermarket support in Australia for it.I had to replace the brake paids and rotors for the front brakes, and was quoted around $2500 plus labour from Audi. I ended up finding factory rotors and aftermarket pads at a cost of about $1600. I would expect this to last about 2 years given a good mix of normal and spirited driving. I have also had to replace the clutch, which was more expensive. The clutch comes with a dual mass flywheel and there are no aftermarket solutions I was able to find in Australia. The clutch kit alone costs about the $1500 mark, with the dual mass flywheel coming in at about the $2200 mark. In addition Audi quote labour at 12 hours to replace the clutch. I would expect the clutch to last another 50K kms depending on driving, but when buying a used car, it would be wise to budget for this when making your purchase choice. I have also replaced the rear subframe bushes, for under $1000 also. Tyres are also a little difficult to source as the car requires 255/35/19 tyres which are not made by all manufacturers. It pays to spend money buying the best tyre as I ended up replacing the Pirellli road tyres that came with the car with some better Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres that dramatically improved the handling and traction of the car. Tyres can cost around $500-$600 per corner for good performance rubber. Servicing is every 12 months or 15K kms, with Audi, however I service the car more regularly than that. Oil changes are not that expensive when using my local mechanic at around the $280 per oil change. Make sure that you replace the gearbox oil and the diff oil regularly also to ensure that these components last. I would change them once a year which will add another $500 and $300 respectively for the gearbox and diff, but is worth it for peace of mind. My only modifications to the car fix the two biggest issues I have had after a year of ownership. The first was the understeer that the car experiences during harder driving. This won't be seen on the roads, but if you decide to take your car to the track for some spirited driving, the understeer is a major problem. I replaced my springs with an MSS kit located in Europe and, along with better tyres, fixes the understeer issue. My second issue is the woeful Bluetooth and connectivity issues with the standard car. I spend a lot of time on the phone, but when using the factory Audi Bluetooth, I found many people complained that they couldn't hear me clearly. The factory Audi head unit also doesn't come with Bluetooth audio streaming, so you can't stream music through the audio system. I fixed this by replacing the factory head unit with an aftermarket Pioneer GPS system that fixed both issues. Overally the Audi has been one of the best cars I have owned, from a performance point of view. On the road, it's mixture of power and grip delivers a fantastic experience. For those looking to take their cars beyond the road, the modifications to suspension and tyres iron out the understeer issues from factory to provide the experience that you would be expecting from the TTRS.
