Dear all, the (standard) k1 has now gone and have had the TTS for a week so I thought I'd share my impresisons.
I won't bore you with the interior, it's been done to death we know.
Performance wise the audi is very quick. However it doesn't feel as quick as the k1 did. The main reason for this is that you are very isolated from the road. Despite a lower driving position I still don't feel I am accelerating as fast as I was in the k1 (even though I am going like stink).
The steering and handling are both very precise and I am experimenting with using the quattro to power out of corners and roundabouts much earlier. I have misjudged this already and gone round one sideways... oops
The magride is still a bit of a mystery to me at this point. I can only tell if it's on or off by looking at the light! Possibly down to me not driving in a way that really requires the stiffer ride...
It doesn't stop as well as the cupra, which has surprised me. However at 1430 kerb weight it is heavier than the k1. I am finding I have to think a lot more about my stopping distances, particularly as I am more isolated from what is going on around me.
The styling is completely different and much more grown up compared with the k1 however it manages to remain aggressive while still being stunningly beautiful.
The soundtrack is sooooo much better. The quad pipes on the audi have been clearly well tuned accoustically as it sounds the way I always wanted the k1 to. Deep throaty rumble rising to an aggressive sounding rasp.
So, am I pleased with my new toy? Emphatically yes! I clearly need to get used to it and figure out how to drive it to get the best out of it. I will keep you posted.
