Those 5 cyl motors are no joke. They're a tuners wet dream!
Half an r8
As the old AAN engine (RS2, s2 etc). Loooove the 5 cyl sound 😎👌
@@djclabbe88 I love the sound too! Lucky man you are haha
Even stock that car is enough to make people moist. Hence why I bought the RS3 lol
@@GreggCesaroni good buy brotha!
That engine alone would be the car's main selling point.
Also interior plus looks
C8 all day..
Not at all, the TTRS is an awesome daily. The new A45 is a great piece of kit too but I have to wonder how tune-able it is with already over 400hp from a 4-pot; the TT's 5-pot easily makes 480hp with just a map. Plus the A45 is so heavy it's like permanently dragging another two people around in the RS!!
Jesus H Medrano tt rs all day just because there engine is quality compared to American engine failures and more... American is the worst with quality in terms of engine and design even a kia ora Hyundai is better...
Jesus H Medrano you can’t get one for this car, 80,000 cad is $60,500 which is base, no z51, and no fees applied yet
I’m glad that Audi still makes the five-cylinder engine
Brings back the Group B days
Yeah, brings back the oil leak days of VW as well.

I owned a 2018 TTRS until somebody t boned me at a red light. It was a spectacular car for the street. The best thing was...nobody knew what it was. Just a weird looking little flat grey (mine was Nardo grey) psycho killer spud on wheels. I did install a larger rear sway bar to tame the understeer.
What did you replace it with?
And you bought what after the accident?
@@mikeabel7577 No. It was retired after the accident.
@@zTheBigFishz We want to know what you replaced it with.
@@mikeabel7577 An S4 immediately after the wreck, then last October a 992. I also own a 1992 C4 Vette track car and a K20 swapped X1/9.
That 5-cylinder sounds like a V10 in some ways!
kamionkami1 no, no it isn’t.
@kamionkami1 😂 its refreshing to see someone actually back up their argument
Sameer Ahmad why aren’t you replying anymore? Feel like a jackass? Stop acting like you know things you ficking degenerate
This just made my day
Sameer Ahmad your ignorance is hilarious
I have an 2018 Audi TTRS and it is a beast on the track. I did make some rear suspension adjustments and added camber plates and virtually eliminated understeer. Except for the back straight at CTMP, i can stay glued to higher horse power cars. Enjoyed your review. Great work!
What's the reliability? I hear it's good. And comfy. Give me your take?
@@codyquann8171 My 2018 has been very reliable and yes, it's quite comfortable for a sports car. I leave my rear seats down which allows the exhaust to be better heard and really opens up the cargo room.
Key thing is VW/Audi's aftermarket is stupid good right now.
These are beating hellcats tuned just because of the haldex.
I'll take any Quattro drive car as they have amazing tuning support and best of all are murderous in the snow.
Makes a Subaru look like child's play.
Once again a killer video by you guys.
Can't wait to see what's next
Fucking hilarious beginning fellas! Good job, good humour.
The interior is so lovely. One of the best in automotive world. It looks so well without the center screen.
You have great quality content, your shots are great, you're funny as hell and perhaps the most important thing, you have an undeniable chemistry between you, the likes I haven't seen since the three Top Gear greats.
May you reach a million subscribers and ten million after that.
Subscribed, notified and greetings sent from Romania.
Second that, I really enjoy your chemistry , it's seems genuine
This is my favorite car review channel. You two are entertaining and informative. Great chemistry. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Tim!
First 50 seconds... Just pure awesomeness! You guys are sooooo good at this!
What a start! Awesome! and kudos on 4k! That 5 cyl is one of my fav engines!
Great video lads! Throttle House is by far my favorite car channel!
Best intro ever you guys are awesome 👌👌👌👌❤
Your chemistry reminds me of Johnny Lieberman & Jason Cammisa way back on Motor Trend. Keep p the good work lads!
Do they still make videos?
Cammisa is Road and Tracks main man now.
Those two were fruit cakes!
Josiah Amankwah nope.
Cammisa was on Throttle House when they did the Dodge Demon 3 way comparo
One of my favorite cars! That interior and amazing engine really make it compelling.
That intro was genuinely hysterical.
Him struggling to deal with the fly was beautiful.
The beginning is HILARIOUS!
You guys are doing some great videos.
You guys are awesome! My favorite automotive gurus on TH-cam or anywhere. I'm a VW Audi guy for sure. I'd love to do a review with you eh?
Best reviews when its 1 car at a time! Dynamic duo! U guys are great!
Just came across this channel. You guys work well together making car reviews entertaining... Subscribed!
Honestly I subscribed just because of the intro! Nicely done
Ah it reminds me of my prior Volvos. That one extra cylinder makes it sound sooooo much better.
I love my 850t
I have an S40 2.4. they do sound brilliant.
im glad that their are youtube channels like yours, and here is to hoping car manufacturers listening to our gripe of cars so that they'll act upon those issues.
I absolutely love this Channel ! Keep it up guys
The intro was the best part of the video. Wait the car was. I’ve always liked the TT and now I have a great reason to like em more.
Sounds like a great car if you can find it used.
That price is ridiculous.
You are now only the second of my 150 subs to have the bell notification enabled. Love your content and presentation. Love that you are Canadian and give Canadian prices. Thanks for that small patriotic gesture.
Cheers, Mike!
Great video guys! Love watching your videos
It could sound weird but I love new audis! They are stopendous!!!
You two are funny AF. You deserve way more viewers. Hello from Palm Springs, California
🤘
It’s a work of art the TT RS.Actions speak louder than words 🏎💨 They tune up very well indeed 🍻👍
I have a RS3. $67,000 CAD (with a few options) rather than $80+k. Cross shopped both and super happy with my choice. Same engine. Blisteringly fast. Handling is great for a sedan, I literally never notice any understeer, but I also don't take it on track or probably close to its real limits.
Omg, the beginning is soo nice!
Man, the quality of these productions reminds me of a youtuber version of top gear! Especially at 3:30 ! Keep it up you guys:D
I have a Mk 1 with the 5 cylinder 1.8 turbo 225 hp, 17 yrs old, 250,000 km and still bullet proof, no leaks no problems and fast as hell, great engine
I love your channel, keep up the good work guys!
That 5 cylinder engine is awesome! It sounds great !
I laughed sooo hard when I saw the intro cause I saw Thomas’ shirt crumbled and made the dude’s face so funny to look at 😂😂😂
BTW this is 0:00
The reviews are totally pro, great detail and writing. Fantastic cars reviewed....but that's "kind of" par for the course....your intros though...that got me to sub, this one was hilarious!
I like this channel because it reviews somewhat normal cars. Keep it up
I’m in Canadaland right now and I was driving along Lake Shore today this evening and I swear I saw James driving an older black 911 down there 🤔
Classic intro as usual. Love these guys. What a killer vehicle. I hope they decide not to drop this model.
I, like Thomas have been diagnosed with chronic Audism, stage 4. I love it and am content with my life! Now they need to bring the RS3 Sportback to the US!
Wow, that intro was the best thing ever
I drive a tuned MK6 Golf 2.5 with the I5. With an intake, the rev limiter increased, and the rev hang removed this engine sounds like CHEWBACCA WITH A GATLING GUN
it is NOT the same motor by any stretch. Thanks for coming out though buddy :)
DeeJay Adverb the 2.5 in the mk5 rabbit/golf is a really stout engine though, can handle tons of boost. The transmission and clutch can’t though lol
Holy jesus that intro had me rolling!!
your videos are really great! best in the class.
Audi interiors are always soooo on point. This TT is a beaute
Amazing boys! Appreciate the res step up. You guys have really found your stride and I appreciate the hard work you put into creating amazing car porn.
+1 just don’t go corny with the “Carnucopia” crap (and personality focus) of what grand tour has turned into. What rubbish that’s become.
great channel
These intro are not only the best on TH-cam but the ones on tv too
Greetings from Texas! Great review guys!
...Gorlami...
Crazy idea! This 5 cylinder engine in naturally aspirated form in a GTI. Good or bad? If only for the sound and the Golf R can get the turbo back.
The only TT that makes me happy 😃
great review thanks
I love you guys keep up the great work!
I detest the centre screen like I have in my 2018 RS5. I prefer the one I had in my 13 S3 which would disappear with a press. On the current RS3 you can't lower the sreeen due to the reverse camera. American requirements I'm told. Carry on men with your great reviews.
Best car chanel now.
These guys have GREAT vid's. How are they not up to 1 - 2 million subs???
Great content as always keep it up 👊👍
Audi TT is a great car, fun to drive; moreover, looks very gorgeous. I like the hatchback-style trunk though cannot put many things. However, pull down the back seats then you have more and deep space to put more stuff in the car because of the back seats which I believe no one wants to try to fit in there. Overall, the TT RS is a great and fun car to drive. I hope one day I am able to afford one of this beauty.
GORGEOUS!!! AUDI RULEZ!
Wish you the best for your hard work
Owned a 2001 Quattro red 6 speed manual. It was brilliant....
I sat in a 2010 model only for a minute at a car yard and that felt amazing let alone this shit.
The cockpit of a cabin and the massive wing back seats of the one I sat in felt awesome. Should have taken a test drive haha regrets
If it was only $10k-15k more than a Golf R, it would make more sense for me. I would rather have a C8.
Honestly, right now, the C8 seems so good for the price that there's no logical explanation to get anything else in this price range (60K-100K). There are plenty of faster car sure, but they are at least 3 time the price for similar spec on paper.
“And That’s What The Internets Like Right Nowwww”
fred Brochu this being a Canadian review, one reason is awd. Corvette can’t be driven in snow. Ttrs and rs3 can. So if one wants a year round car the corvette won’t work.
@@gs98999If I lived up north , I would drive a golf r for the winter time and a c8 during the summer months.
@@gs98999 Agreed. But even with AWD, the TTRS isn't exactly a good daily all year round car if you factor in cargo space, back seat space and low ground clearance. It's just not really practical all things considered.
I tend to see it as a summer toy, so essentially your second car, just like the C8 or any other sports car.
For all year round, the RS3 would be way better if it's your only car, I agree. But it's not a sports car per se, it's a luxury sport sedan, it's different.
One Of My Dream Cars!
Love the intro and love the car, nice video :)
Very nice review (i have watched nearly all of yours). With the TTRS priced at that point, To me it would be a very serious question ,whether to get this new, or the original R8 pre-owned. Because the R8 has an NA V8, more power, true quattro system and much more of a presence. The only downside is the early automatic transmission on those cheaper end R8s.
mustpaike I wouldn’t want the v8 r8 over this. The v10 would make it a really hard choice though
@@sleeper.simulant7327 If the price, is right, sure. But the Audi R8 models are much cheaper in EU than in Canada or in US. Also, doesn't the gen1 R8 V10 model have similar carbon buildup issues as the S8 V10 (mainly due to GDI)?
@@mustpaike v8 R8 would get smoked by this ttrs but id probably still prefer the r8. As far as speed goes, it doesn't more than a e85 tune and downpipe to make a TTrs faster than a v10 r8.
And the fact the older models tended to set on fire....alot.
I just realized that this is like the MotorTrends back when it was good, free on TH-cam and they still had Carlos and Jason.. also thanks to you I am now recovering from my firing disorder 1, 2, 4 ...arrgh
Throttle House 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
I love ❤️ you guys,I can’t wait for you guys reach a million subscribers yet.
Keep up the good work, you guys can make any car review excited 😊 and fun.
Woo, thanks buddy
@James Engelsman
Ur welcome 🙏 I’m a big fan of the channel.
These intros are perfect all the time
Those wheels look like they came off the Honda accord
The Audi TT RS is an amazing car and that inline-five is just an awesome motor
I just miss the manual transmission
I agree, with the inclusion of a manual, the price will probably drop a good margin. Automatics are more expensive to make and making them standard drives the price of a car up. People will buy the manual if it comes back in these sports cars, if they advertise it that is.
Nick Val manuals are actually now expensive now these days due to their rarity.
This was the most audismic video I have ever watched!
Too many people mistakenly believe the haldex in this can put 100% of torque to the rear axle, which is complete nonsense. I'm glad you pointed out the difference.
It's not physically possible to do that with the clutch based haldex system .
It can only apportion, up to 100% of AVAILABLE torque rewards, which means the front axle has to have zero traction. So this will never be more than 50% of max torque.
Lovely car I think u should compare audi TTrs vs bmw z4 Plz make a comparison video
Or to the c8
The new Audi TT RS is like the older $60k 2008 R35 Nissan GT-R and Jaguar F-Type. No manual transmissions, but unique Front engine AWD coupes.
I was going to go to sleep but then I saw The vid always maken bangers
No one really talks about the TT RS, and frankly, I am one of these people who love this car. It's just so different from a lot of the other Audi cars that are very well recognized in the S and RS lineup. I mean the 2.5L turbocharged 5 cylinder from the RS 3 alone is enough reason to buy the car. Basically, it's almost a miniature version of the Audi R8, and I already love the R8. And 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds is no joke either. I'm sure because of German underrating, it could go to maybe 3.4-3.5 seconds.
Luv the car but it's too expensive, too many options in that price range M4, corvette, Gt350 etc.
This car will eat up the m4 stock for stock and mod for mod.
and which one of those can you drive in a blizzard?
yup...
Kenton Patterson Hey. All good cars, but why would you recommend those rear drive cars for all year round use?
You don’t understand the difference in cars do you?
GT350 in the snow. Useless
C8 Corvette. Useless
TTRS or RS3. Superb all year round cars.
People buy them for their needs. They are better deals cause you drive them all year round.
Rear drive sports cars are a waste if you live in 4 seasons. If you break it down per day of use in nice weather, you are paying way too much for a car that just sits.
You think you’re giving good advice, but it’s an expensive one.
@@ryanb8736 you're not gonna be driving on mountains with .5 metres of snow so rwd cars aren't useless in the winter..
Gt350 will get beat everyway possible
You guys should drive the Audi TTrs and the BMW M2 on the track
M2 would handle better and be more fun to drive on the track. The Audi would be more comfortable and way more fun to drive on regular roads.
Test drove an M2 in a downtown area for around 10 minutes and as soon as it found a slight imperfection in the road, all of the glory, all of the wonder, all the hype disappeared. That motherfuckers suspension is not meant to be on a regular road, that bitch will kill your fking ass. The suspension is stiffer and harsher than an R56 Mini Cooper, 2001 Camaro, early 2000s Lotus Elise.
TheSinMOG I was so hung ho to get an M2 comp. after driving it I was underwhelmed. Steering is artificial. No communication with the car. GT 350 is a much better performance car.
I bought a TTRS last year, and say it’s a hoot to drive. Only the few know what it really is and what it’s capable of, the rest just love that it’s a cute TT. The 5cyl is truly the superstar here, and it feels more exotic and a real baby R8 compared to its RS3 sister.
This is the best car channel on TH-cam
Are Audi really still using those old style long throw gear selectors, with their DCT boxes.
It’s an iconic design.
Thomas are you going to the gym? You're looking great my dude!
You guys are excellent and so the tt rs also.👍
I just ordered my SQ2 and would love to see a Review on a SQ2 by you guys. Best, Kemal
Cabin size has a drastic impact on sound system quality, hence the A8 sound system sounding much better than in the TT even though both are B&O.
The only 5 cylinder on the market right now.
RS3: Am I a joke to you?
Being fair - that is correct. It IS the only 5 cylinder engine on the market right now. They didn't say the TTRS was the only car with one.
CarandRacer Exactly!
Secondhand market has tonnes to choose from
Doesn’t vw have a n/a version of the 5 cyl on there golf ?
@@MrFallou13what? The golf uses a 2.0 i4 even in the golf r
I LOVE the clean dash!!!
My cousin has a RS3 with the sports exhaust and it goes like !!! and sounds glorious! It sounds ... Audi S1esque ! 😍
Its amazing that with simple mods makes this car an 8 sec DD
I wouldn't say simple mods being a built block, drag slicks and big turbo lol simple mods these are ten second cars
Wedow you have to do a lot more than that just to break into the high 9’s. We’ve only had one at the track and with $38k in mods and ran consistent 9.80’s , which is really quick for an Audi. I’d have to see one do 8’s before I believe that and I’m betting the only thing Audi about it will be the body.
@@wrzl1675 I almost bought the iroz shop car as it was for sale locla to me for 80k with 2k miles on the build. Ran high 8s but over 160k in parts. And yes more than that of course. All the supporting mods built trans etc etc. Car was on Hoosier ffs 😂😂😂 very quick but at 200k+ you can build a much faster mustang, corvette, camaro, hellcat etc. Def a badass car though. Chose a stinger over an rs3 due to pricing. Couldn't justify 20k+ more for it but the rs3 was the better car.
Wedow really? Because there is a full bolt on stock turbo stock engine rs3 that got into the 9s. You may be thinking of the older Ttrs that was slower because of an older engine and an older Haldex system.
Randy Carlisle th-cam.com/video/IprsDwBSnHs/w-d-xo.html
It's going to be the last TT from Audi very fast
Absolutely beautiful car!
The Audi TT used to be my favorite car when i was a kid
The RS3 has the same I5 engine and Haldex AWD system.
And in a back to back test drive handles like a boat in comparison to this car
But is ugly and just looks like any other car. People are always asking me what kind of car my TTS is.
