Audi TTS test drive since 2008
Audi TT test drive: toy is not for the passenger
Audi TT Coupe 2.0 TFSI Quattro low landing and rounded shapes of the car undoubtedly attracts attention to both the parking lot and in the flow of moving machines.The four rings of the nameplate and the drawn geometry of the grilles in the cell and a ruler, a narrow proportional head of the headlights and the convex arches of the wheel arches, a squat body and a low roof in the shape of a drop are a little that distinguishes the appearance of TT from other representatives of sports deles.
The exterior of the color of the dark blue sea, designers deliberately contrasted a bright red salon. Smooth scarlet soft skin, really expensive, both to the touch and in price, plastic interior, chrome decoration of the parts of the panel, the central console, doors, thresholds and red luminous arrow arrows are impeccable decisions. Oh yes! Four chrome rings on the heel of the steering wheel like without them?! With a more detailed acquaintance, it turns out that the chrome edging of deflectors moves, thereby regulating the force of air flow. A pleasant surprise. With the rest, everything is just two large heel of the tachometer and speedometer, two small oil temperatures in the engine and the fuel level, the light switches the handle on the panel to the left of the driver, the wipers are controlled by a lever under the steering wheel. A car radio and mobile connection can be controlled without removing the hands from the steering wheel. By the way, the Audi Concert radio is also easy to handle the first time. And there is nothing superfluous in the climate control settings. In general, everything in this machine is simple and intuitive. Personally, I like this approach, because all attention should be directed to the movement and speed of the reaction.
Planting in the salon can be called only in diving. So low that the level of the seat is not higher than the knee cup of passers -by. And it is possible to emerge only by young, energetic and sports people to emerge. But with a closed door, and even more so in the dynamics of driving, this circumstance becomes invisible. However, the conditions of capacity cannot but pay attention. Regardless of growth and circumference in Audi TT, it will only be conveniently on the front seats, they have pronounced side support and the body is tightly fixed in the chair, as in racing boards. Only a child can fit behind the dimensions, taking into account the nature of the car, it is not clear at all why the rear seats are needed, since with the child in the cabin, it is unlikely that anyone will dare to violate the speed mode. Moreover, sitting even on the front passenger seat, you can enjoy the trip only when the driver decides to arrange a sluggish defile to show off on the streets of the city. In other cases, the legs are pressed on the pedals, he is sick and constantly want to go out. In other words, this car is definitely not for passengers. But the pilot gets the whole gamut of the sensations of the drive.
Maybe because the Audi TT compartment looks like a toy car, sitting behind the wheel really wants to play, only this game prevails in a certain degree of risk. Well, you must admit, is it possible in a sports machine with a 200 strong turbocharged TFSI engine, a volume of 2 liters and a full -wheel drive of Quattro calmly melt along the road?!
Of course, I want to press a slipper on the floor and, smiling, whistle past the grunts that have opened their mouths. That is how, and not otherwise, accelerating 6.5 seconds before a critical mark of 100 km/h on avenues, where a speed limit of 80 km/h, in order to avoid acquaintance with the next representatives of the traffic police, I moved during the test drive of this emotional car. You ask what fuel consumption? I have not noticed.
Power, responsiveness, aerodynamics and exchange rate stability, verified one hundred percent, allowed to slide easily and not forced in the stream. Cool, but at high speeds, a spoiler appears on the back on the back. 100 150 180 200 maximum speed, which managed to develop on the highway was 250 km/h. Surprisingly, with such a speed of movement, the Simferopol M2, the light audience, just stepped over, as if nothing had happened, and not to the chipper of the left extreme strip and so imperceptibly that the leg did not even tremble towards the brake. The fact is that TT has first used a suspension with the Magnetic Ride system. It allows you to quickly change the characteristics of shock absorbers depending on the driving style. This proof of safety pleased me the most. After all, testing cars, you often feel how the car takes the road, how the steering wheel has to be held tight with both hands, otherwise even at low speed the car begins to bring one or the right to the left.
The luggage compartment compared to the previous version of the TT increased to 290 liters. Of course, this is not so much, but it will quite work out to fit a couple of small suitcases there.
I checked on myself, I managed to fit in the trunk completely. By the way, if you fold a couple of rear seats, 700 liters of space are released. That's just this car was created not to stuff pockets with all kinds of use, but for the game. Cats-mouse, catch-up, checkers can be continued for a long time, the main thing is that all these games should be related to speed, excitement and adrenaline. It is this character that this small sports car stores in itself.
And, of course, like a favorite toy, Audi TT Coupe wants to touch, iron and keep clean, so that brilliance and brightly color, chopped character and maneuverability to cause envious glances of the carriageways, leaving them far behind in a cloud of scattering smoke.
