I take frequent trips...and my TT 225C is a daily car... but it drives amazing after sitting idle for more then 2 days...specially changing the gears are twice as smooth.
Is it just me or someone else has had similar experience?

Default you get spoiled by lots of things>>>>

i drive rental cars a LOT. And being away from the TT for ANY period of time, makes you realize what the TOTAL package is about. I think you just get used to it, and then once you are away for a bit, you are then reminded again.

Default Yeah.. had thought about that... but even if I don't get rentals....like this past weekend..

I was away for 3 days and didn't drive at all but still the TT felt so smooth. Wish it did that every morning...but then I would always be late for work!

That is so true. It's like all the fluids gel and make everything run smoother. Very odd!

Default I ran mine at the Audi Club School this weekend at Mid-Ohio and it's

running much better than before the school. I was running out of gas before the last session, so I put a couple of gallons of 100 octane, from the track pumps, in it to finish. Wonder if that sorta "cleaned it out".

Default Or is it...

...the absence of driving it creates a renewed feeling of how AWESOME the TT really is.
