TT RS long distance driver?
#21
Thank you and yes I didn't know what "side assist" meant so that is good and that is the most important one for me- I live in the hills outside of New Braunfels and my Golf R (My daily) has the complete DAP with adaptive headlights/high beams (I LOVE that feature) but it is a nicety- I must have Blind sport monitoring and that is the most important sooo
and yes would love to take a look at your ride if possible..

It actually does have Lane Keep Assist My Canadian model has it.
There's blind spot monitoring, and it's predictive (fast approaching cars will trigger flashing). The car is great, I drive in TX with mine and love it. Please check Audi's website for what it does/does not have. It just doesn't have adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist. If you're near SAT, you're welcome to check out my TT RS.

Yes, just like the R8, the TT RS lacks driver assist features like ACC and Traffic Jam Assist, which is another reason I don't consider either one as a daily driver for me personally. Audi Side Assist is part of the tech package in the USA, but honestly that's probably the most unneeded driver assist feature there is. You guys should learn how to properly adjust your mirrors to avoid a blind spot in the first place. I have it and I leave it turned on as a piece of mind, but I don't really pay attention to it. No need at all with mirrors properly adjusted. Mine is actually an early version and it occasionally turns itself of in traffic, because it stops being able to track all the cars. Most of the time I don't even notice that it is off until a few days later when I notice the LED on the switch is off.

My mirrors are adjusted properly. It's still useful to have. ACC/TJA aren't necessary on daily drivers. I had it on my last vehicle (Subaru Eyesight) and found traffic jams were about the only time I liked it, otherwise you just end up cruising far too slow behind other vehicles all the time. I do miss it when stuck in heavy traffic, but I avoid high traffic locations as much as possible.

LOVEMYGOLFR, my suggestion would be test drive a TTS, might be a better "sweet spot" car than the RS.
Audit Side Assist is very good, this is my 3rd Audi with this feature.
Please note that the TT does not have Memory Seats, that is the most common missing feature people complain about.

I thought so too, initially. But after looking at pics around the forum of the rear view mirror mounting point on the CA and US cars, I don't think the US cars do have the camera installed. Which sucks because it might have been just a coding situation otherwise.

Good points on the tire pressure and comfort. I don’t have my RS yet but came from a 991 C4S. On that car if you ran at maximum load pressure instead of “comfort” pressure the car rode like a truck. Porsche would set it a maximum load pressure by default at service trips unless you told them you preferred comfort. Night and difference in driving during normal (not autobahn) driving. I would never set the tire pressure to maximum on that car as it made it miserably uncomfortable, didn’t seem to affect handling.
Guess I’ll have to find out what the correct pressures are for comfort on the RS
