Getting my Ibis on black leather prestige TTS. Just have to wait for it to get released from port and shipped to NY. Which is good since my Milltek exhaust should be here in the next 10 days big thanks to Bob at Stratmosphere for hooking me up with that. And my TPMS sensors from the tire rack to put on my BBS ch's for snows are supposed to be here 26th or 27th. Now I just have to say by to my B6 S4.

Default Good to hear. I've been thinking about moving to the TTS and would like your input on going...

...from the V8 S4 to the TTS. Give us pics and a review when you get it!

Default Will do.

I will give you my initial thoughts why I put the TTS in my mix of cars and decision. Having had my S4 for almost 4 years I have loved every bit of it. The TTS meets two of my needs something fast and has luxury like my S4. I also drive a lot I have over 123k on my S4 so not being at the pump every other day was important, so it does that well too. The only thing that is negative is the size of the car the TTS is small. But on the other hand for me, it is just me 90% of the time and 6% of the time it is just one other person in the car with me. That cancels that out.

So then I drove the car, and it was nice, had a decent exhaust note for a 4cyl coming from my V8 with AWE res. I knew it wouldn't be the same but it is a nice deep tone stock. It is a DSG which is fun, but isn't a 6-speed HPA has some solutions for that. It does have launch control so that is a bonus. But I was surprised how much I like the car and the DSG when I drove it. After that it pretty much made up my mind. Audi doesn't really have anything at the moment that meets my needs of AWD, fast, gets decent mpg, and in my budget. Will follow up with more after I have put some real miles on the car. It will only be stock for a few hours my exhaust will go on the next day unless the car comes to me first.

Default I bailed on an RS4 for my TTS. Best car decision I have made in a while.

Only had the RS4 for a month after trading my 08 TT 3.2 on it. Fabulous car, but was nowhere near as fun as the TTS for everyday.

GREAT news! Can't wait to hear how you settle into it from the S4.

Default Wow. RS4's and S4's to TT's. Just the people I'm looking for.

Thanks for the input guys. It's good to know that others have made the jump and are happy about it.

Considering my mods on the S4 I know that I have my car just the way I want it. Which means that, for me, a 2.0L TFSI engine would be a big change. I know what the performance numbers say (which looks really good) but it'll take gettin' behind the wheel to decide.

I'm thinking of heading down to the local dealership soon to try one out. I love the iconic Audi styling with the TT and if the RS version evers makes it to the States then it might be a shoe-in for me.

As always, I will be standing by for the new car pics. You'd think we'd get tired of that new car thread by now! No way.
