Default Potential brake issues

The Road and Track reviewer had the brakes smoking on all 4 wheels after 10 minutes - not good. Only time I heard of this type of complaint before was the BRZ/FRS test drives.

Thanks for the link, and especially....

..."Fortunately, there's a fix in the works for all of my grumbles: the TT S. With the bones already in place, the power, brake, and adjustable suspension upgrades coming to the TT S will make good on the base TT's promises.

Will it [TT] replace the new 2017 Audi R8 in my heart? No. But the TT S might."

I drove the white TT at Prestige Imports in Lakewood Colorado. It had brake problems as well. It would pull to the left and off-balance the car. Also in threshold braking the fronts kept wanting to lock up, while the rears hadn't engaged as much.

As for this article if they guy was driving on brand new pads they are going to smoke. I love the smell of fresh pads in the morning.

LOL, I test drive that same car but bought at McDonald Audi down the road. I was trying to trade in my 2014 Porsche Boxster and the trade offer from them was insulting.
