I currently have a Mk2 TTRS, the 6MT is... passable, but not great IMO. I'm strongly considering trading it in or selling it for an M2, and my biggest question is whether to go 6MT or DCT. My car history and thoughts, so you can see where I'm coming from...
I've also driven a few other stick cars - Focus RS and a 997 GT3RS both at Nelson Ledges (track). The GT3RS is like a bolt-action rifle, wonderful transmission... but that's expected from Porsche. The Focus RS feels nicer than the trans in the TT RS. Also driven a 996 and 997 C4S at different times on the street. I'd love to have a Porsche, but it's a bit beyond my price, and I want seating for at least 3 actual adults. Given all of the above, I have a very difficult decision between the DCT and 6MT should I decide to buy an M2... |

Last I heard there were still no confirmations of any 6MT for the Mk3 TTRS, it's going to be dual-clutch only. |

I'd take the so-so 6MT. The Mazdaspeed 3 I came out of wasn't the greatest but didn't matter. I've had some time in an s2000 and that makes the M2 even seem so-so.

The MT on the M2 can be substantially improved by a new clutch pedal and a good SS kit, in my opinion. Those still won't give you control over your own rev matching, but they do improve the action of the shift considerably.

I think the TT-RS definitely looks better, but I have limited driving experience with Audi's AWD system (my girlfriend has an AWD Q3, but that's not a good basis of info - great car for her purposes, but not designed to be very sporty).

I just hope it is enjoyable! It should be! The comparision mostly said that thanks to the traction, you can really use your power how it is meant to be used. |

New link! Same video but now on YouTube.
6:05 - "For the road? TT RS, hands down. Very accurate steering, I want the TT RS." 6:19 - "So on the track, the traction is just mindblowing, magnificent and so, so quick." 6:50 - "For sure I'd pick the TT RS, even though the M2 slides quite nicely, it is much slower."

Everything about the ttrs is better from the interior to the engine note imo. The only thing that's holding me back is the thought of what the M2 CS might bring to the table... |

Well, they call the same dual-clutch gearbox two different things between Audi (S-tronic) and VW (DSG)... so I will usually just call it the generic VAG (Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft, I guess it should be VWAG but that's an extra letter and it's more fun to sprinkle VAG everywhere in my text ) DSG. |

If only it had a mechanical rear biased diff, I would be very interested in the TTRS. Everything else is superb, but a front driver is just a fly in the ointment.

Again, since you don't track your cars, this means little to you. But it means a lot to drivers who do, because that bias materially affects how it handles, especially at the limit. |
