Audi TTS test drive since 2008

The only way!

In this way, according to Anton Chuykin, it is necessary to decipher the abbreviation of TT in the name of the Rodster Audi Rodster.
Almost always in the description of the car sooner or later (usually still early) find the phrase: here the designers have found a successful compromise between ... Then, an explanation with excusable notes should be worsened to worsen others for the sake of some qualities. No, I will not convince you that a good compromise is nonsense. I better introduce you to a car in which the most important feature is realized in the most uncompromising way.

This is Audi-TT Rogster. In full accordance with the name instead of the roof, he has fabric, matter, rag. And this is good! Because in this price segment (after all, all Audi is not cheap), considerations of practicality are not so important. You like an open car on, get it! If you want a compartment, here's a second car! And to unite one with the other for reasons, as it were, the tent was not cut in the parking lot or but how to go in the winter of more universal and affordable brands in winter.

And the result is yes, a diet, but a very beautiful car, the silhouette of which is not spoiled by a massive stern with a tightly packed steel roof for all occasions. Its rag is compactly laid behind the backs of two (yes, only two!) Seats that I want to immerse yourself immediately and

I understand how ungrateful it is to describe the sound on paper. Probably, the notes would come here ... TFSI two-liter four, the bestseller of the Volkswagen-Audi concern, under the hood and in TT pipes it sounds just amazing. You quickly come to terms with any review, with a low landing, with an uncomfortable non-round steering wheel (this form is justified only when the steering wheel does not require interception, that is, it makes only the turn from the stop to the stop) everything overlaps the pleasure with which you rule this car! The automatic machine, which is called s-trononics (on golf, for example, DSG), is carefully configured in a pair of switching motor is very fast, soft, the machine seems like a fluff on the dispersal. Triumph of high technology!

By the way, I happened to travel on Volkswagenes with the same two -liter turbo engine: it was Golf GTI and EOS. The units that differ absolutely the same in characteristics differ (thank you, including transmission) under the hoods of different machines: from evil GTI to affectionate EOS through a remarkably responsive and correct TT.

Now I will express a seditious thought: Audi-TT should only be such a relatives. Sell \u200b\u200byour compartment and buy an open car. To hell with practicality! And do not urge from March to November this is a buzz, a car without a roof!

Having tried on the move a more powerful version of the relative 250-horsepower with a 3.2-liter six, I will add to the previous uncompromising resume: and only a 2-liter motor! I don’t know why this six is \u200b\u200bneeded, with which the car becomes frankly heavy, loses its enthusiasm and temperament. Is it that scroll through all four wheels somewhere on Snezhnoye virgin lands? To do this, the owners of relatives usually have another transport to write off the installation of a powerful motor for market requests: if something seems illogical to you, find out if it is intended for the states! Exactly, intended

Perhaps the impressions presented above seemed to you too emotional? Now I’ll add: having traveled to the relative, I would propose to remove the awning out of its design. It would be, as they say, a successful compromise between the best visibility and the worst microclimate ...

Just be fastened!
Safety of TT-TROTER crew is provided by a specially designed body with deformation zones, a strong glass frame and safety rods behind the backs of the seats. As well as two front pillows, pretensors and restraints of the power force, a rotary mechanism of the pedal node and two side pillows in the backs of the seats. You just have to fasten, do not neglect this! Especially in an open car

Audi-TT Roadster of all impractical cars, I would choose just such a solved without special compromises. It is a pity that the rejection of practicality is so expensive: from 60 to 75 thousand dollars ...
