The resident TTRS troll.....at least he's the only one on the entire forum....and there's a good reason why. The car has too many faults to overcome its good traits.

I thought you people were smarter than this.

I have spoken how if I was completely single I'd get a manual m2.

So yeah...pay more attention.

However, I'm not. So I can't have a manual. TT RS looks better, sounds better and is faster in real life driving. Better interiors, better technology, more traction means more safety.

So yeah, very logical IMO.

As for the cons:

I don't really care that much about it not being RWD.

I don't have kids, my partner doesn't want them. If they pop up, they will fit for many years.

I live in Puerto Rico so everyone has a car, I don't need to carry others.

0-62mph is on average 3.5s. M240i and M2 do the same, in 4.4+ (manual).

Steering is good and precise. I don't care about some understeer and frankly, for a DD, losing steering feel is meh for me, because the roads in Puerto Rico are not smooth.

So yeah, MY reasons make it MORE logical.

Different people have different reasons.

Be smart.

A DCT M2 Gran Coupe with OLED tailights and the new engine would be amazing.

No, I mean when I need, the back seat of a M2 can take people up to 5 feet 9 inches without a problem, but not a TTS.

Neither can a Corvette, but it is much sexier to drive than a "5 seater".

Personally I don't have a need to carry people around. Plus the TT RS works great for children, so has SOME future value.

I wonder how the GC M2 will come out...if ever.

Looks like a wannabe transformer

See, rear disks like those raise the question of the RS being a true performance model capable of being an all-around weapon. 0-60 may take 1.2 seconds, or whatever the new figure is this week but it takes massive brakes to compliment that sort of speed. I won't even mention the entire-engine-in-front-of-axle placement that has yet to be rectified. Oops, I just did.

Those rear discs are puzzling. What would be the marginal cost on a $75 grand car to size them correctly?

Actually no,

Look at the amount of dislikes. Read the comments.

Drivers sucked and was a pussy, didn't push the TT RS at all, of course it will be slower...

But don't listen to me, read for yourselves.

I too make my automobile purchase decisions based upon like/dislikes of punters who have never driven the tested cars. . . and probably never will.

So front LSD, summer tires, and driving capabilities, you choose to ignore
All these facts. Ok then!

Also, if all of the comments say BAD TEST, BAD DRIVER, BAD TRACK...

Take a fucking hint and watch other reviews haha.

Just curious where did you find this out about the tires? I saw nothing about it in the video. Just random folks commenting which means nothing.
