Yes its a stunning car, I borrowed the demo S-tronic last week from Listers. I disagree with the 19" wheel view - to big for the car IMO, the 18"s are very smart in the flesh and plenty big enough. car gets the power down very well because of the Haldex and the magnetic ride is without doubt superb. But it didn't feel any faster than my remapped standard 2.0T, it just didn't kick traction in as it wasn't sending it all through the front wheels. But would I pay another 15K to change my 56 plate 2.0T? Nope, not at the moment. 
It certainly isn't a mini R8 though, much as I love it! Dealers talk such a load of plop!!  |
ome interesting views. One of my recent cars was the 2.0T. The TTS is in a different league. Sure you can remap the 2.0T and it wont be far short of the TTS,
but as anyone knows that has driven the std car in the wet it struggles and fast getaways are a no no. Whilst lighter the handling on the 2.0T can match the TTS and with its
Sports ESP and uprated mag ride it understeers way less. It also sounds a hell of a lot nicer.
Not sure the TTS is really struggling to sell, although as people in the city lose their jobs there will of course be cancellations.
I usually own 2-3 different cars each year and have enjoyed time in an R32, M3 and RS4 amongst others. My TTS has drawn more attention than any other cars Ive owned.
Had more people compliment me on my choice to a point were its embarrasing.
Is it a mini R8?. Never driven one, but the TTS is a damn good car.
