Audi TT RoadsterV everyday I drive a convertible. True, it's just a small Citroen C3 Pluriel, but the essence remains the same. Open car on a sunny summer day - an additional source of good mood. Besides, I think a very practical hatchback. Why? Yes it is very easy - I can sunbathe in it already on the way to the beach! Of course, my "lemonade" is not so practical in terms of the folding roof, because it "up" to leave the house, he does not develop automatically. Once my husband had to urgently go for, and he took the C3 without a roof. On the way to torrential downpour caught it and went under the controversial views of other machines. So automatically folded "up" is great, that's just a pity that it develops to where a conventional CT is the second-row seats. Let a little, let an adult there is nothing to do, but for my little baby came to be just right. And so - put the baby nowhere. Not in the front seat as his plant! But her friend a ride at the time. She would have died of delight! And the cabin in the TT is great. What an excellent quality of all parts, a comfortable chair. Red inserts on the seats, elegant line, backlit instrument - so it happened - the color of the car. Do you like the steering wheel with straightened lower section - easy to get in and out of the car, and better feel the steering wheel. Management of "music" and climate system is intuitive. And how cool they invented spinning rims chrome air, which can regulate the air supply. But what the Germans did not care about the places to store different things, very bad. Beautician put nowhere. In the glove do not fit in puny pockets in the doors too. Only at a nearby chair. And if there's someone sitting there? Although, wait a minute. Here, you can shove the seat. Not an option, of course, but what to do? And the garments can not be put anywhere. A cell phone? Or in the ashtray, or hang out in the holders. But all this I forgive TT. I forgive him for the appeal. He damn good, especially in the cherry color, and without a roof. Although the raised fabric "top" looks great. Car for a lady. I think the man in that will look a little illogical. Of course, the question arises, what girl power under the hood of 250? The answer is simple: women want to be confident, not less than men. Confident in the car. A 3.2 liter perfectly taken out of any situation. The car is always ready to accelerate briskly. Assists and a box. I usually do not go fast, but to estimate the smoothness of switching "automatic" I can not. In the TT gearbox works perfectly, I pull "the robot" on the C3 and never dreamed of! Suspension, say, an oak? I do not know, I do not think so. And the steering on the altitude. Look at how well Roadster follows in the desired direction. Easily. I've heard say that convertibles are generally less rigid body, suffers from handling. On CT, I would not say. Despite the absence of a roof, he knows at a glance, instantly and predictably react to my actions. Very docile. I wish I could go on Audi TT Roadster? Of course, yes! That's just in any case it should be by no means the only car in the family, and if you have a baby, then go to the Roadster, unfortunately, will not work. And even better to ride on it is not in a stuffy and dirty Moscow, but somewhere along the coast of one of the southern seas! Audi TTSAudi TTS - an excellent example of typical German thrift, balanced and pragmatic. Traditionally, in the lineup Audi cars with the letter S are intermediate between civilian cars and sports car RS. Audi S - this is only a step on the way to the extreme "ereskam." And the Audi TTS is located halfway between the most powerful 3.2-liter conventional modification of TT and the upcoming 350-hp TT RS, the appearance of which we expect in the next year. But the "intermediate" position TTS in any case does not mean some of the unfinished or nedodelannosti. "Eska" - the car solid, thoughtful and ... very fast. Quick so that may well rival a senior with his "brother" - R8. But in a metropolis nosy TTS, perhaps, even more preferably R8. "Checker" TTS, skillful driver moves on the chessboard of urban traffic, in the twinkling of an eye turns out to be "a king. Cooks" from Audi perfectly know their stuff. S-recipe dishes he has long been known: less fat (TTS easier TT Roadster 3.2 almost hundredweight), lots of meat (2.0 TFSI engine from the S3 boosted to 272 hp, TTS - the most powerful TT ever), add pepper ( underestimated by 10 mm suspension and special brake pads) and how to flavor spicy seasonings in the form of blocks reprogrammed engine management and transmission. I remember that on the same recipe prepared Audi TT quattro sport (see MOTOR, March, 2006), the previous generation - thoroughly nadduty turbo, stiffer suspension, instead of stretching the rear seats and a number of external lines: painted black roof and mirrors, S-kit line and the original rims. TTS has no stretch in the cabin. It is not necessary. Body technology with ASF (Audi Space Frame), which had previously been used only on models A2 and A8, and already has become tougher to 50%. There are external differences. The easiest way to identify the TTS front - on the chrome grille with a single frame with vertical bars, which was started over the horizontal (among other TT - on the contrary), strips of LEDs in the headlamps and the bumper with large air intakes. Mirror housings are also made of brushed chrome, along the sides started up an elegant skirt, and from under the rear bumper protruding four exhaust trunk. The interior changes from the roadster is almost no - only a few posters on the lever TTS "automatic", the rapids and scale of the tachometer. By the way, the speedometer marked TTS up to 300 km / h as opposed to 280 on the open version. Pure fetish, we all know that the rate of production is limited to the turn of the Audi 250 km / h. But "step up" to be, albeit small, insignificant, because this "escalator"! It turned out that behind the wheel of TTS, I was immediately Roadster. Noticed the difference as soon as you start the engine. Instead of the muted rumbling shifted-row "Six" came a typical hard snap motor TFSI, laced with bass rumble of exhaust. Sports! Rent back to the parking lot. Idle speed and a high rear gear ratio transmission makes the car jerk - clearly not enough torque 2-liter turbo that develops TTS versions, right up to 272 hp This engine came to the TTS model with S3 with some revisions ECU. Naturally, TTS and other exhaust system, which helped lift to 7 hp greater than that of S3. But the machines do not usually go in reverse and not at idle. So that the lever transmission in Drive, and go! Although I would call this regime Drive, and Economy and Women. That often need a girl from a car? That he was simpatichnenkim! But too much hassle and turbo dergotnya box it to anything. So quiet shift gears S-Tronic, a set of smooth speed zadempfirovannye reaction to gas would have to be very helpful. To 2500-3000 r / min it seems that the forces under the hood 120 of a 1.6-liter "atmosfernika" - so slowly and reluctantly the tachometer needle creeping up. At speeds above 3000 there is a noticeable pickup. But not that I expected from S-version with 272 strength! Where is this man's character? Mufflers burchat displeasure in response to my attempts to spur cutting machine by pressing on the gas. Unhappy and I - in response to kick-down box, slowly, step touches down (DSG difficult to jump by more than one gear down - a clutch of two). I look forward to that now all the 272 "horses" would rush at full speed. But no, the subsequent acceleration is not worth my time - fast, but not for the 270-strong car. What is this? "Eska" and travels slower than the same roadster? And what's this here then shaking suspension? Stop bullying - and at themselves, and the machine. Let's try to switch to Sport. Apparently, the designers wanted to make a special emphasis on the regime S «machine" - to match the name of TTS - and so it turned out that way. The logic in this, of course, is - just bought a Audi S, then, therefore, must go to the "sport". TTS though changed completely. Everything fell into place. In response to pressing the accelerator pedal - instant and rapid acceleration. S-Tronic is configured so that the "fall" down a few gears he now has much less often - speed is always kept above the level of 3000 rev / min, in the zone of maximum thrust. In addition, the box quickly adapts to the active driving. She has been active with tangible kicks tuck a lower level under braking and when you reset the gas transfer holds as long as necessary. Sometimes a feeling that in mind secretly at birth was implanted microchip, which does not reveal its presence, and now, years later, came to life and began to actively transmit signals transmission TTS. Understanding the full! If your brain a chip will not, then you can issue commands not DSG, and his own hands, so they pulled the petals, thus providing a lightning switch. I see a stream of small "hole" between the machines. The left lobe - on himself, almost simultaneously - the gas to the floor. It should be fast peregazovka, the steering wheel to the left wheel to the right, and ... until you read this, Audi has a "king." And what sounds are emitted by motor TTS with heavy overclocking! Usually they say: "The Voice of the engine - the song!" But it is not even a song but a whole symphony. Turbine dashingly whistling, howling air inlet on each gear up loud exhaust shooting, and when you reset the gas as a lively, sobbing relief valve. I really do not know what would sound engine RS, to beat this band. All this is absolutely the place and did not bother, just more hot winds and the driver's blood. This is natural and necessary attributes of a truly sporting car, which also have a solid foundation of a beautifully tuned suspension and steering. The foundation is a concrete means by, but the suspension with Magnetic Ride dampers can not be called a stone. Yes, she's tough, but a clutch delivers! Does not feel discomfort even when translating a special switch on the center console in the position of Sport. Audi holds tremendous speed in the turns without demolition. Despite the very high threshold tenacity and resilience, TTS is just a car, and sooner or later, the rate may be too large. It should be a small drift Chuck, and then slide all four wheels, which is perfectly controlled by the gas and informative transparent wheel. If the rotation is very steep, you can help and handbrake - yes, despite all-wheel drive, TTS can easily use it. Stabilization after the introduction is fairly tough, be ready to dramatically increased effort on the steering wheel. Actually is it that TTS was unique car. It feels great on the highway - rushes forward like an arrow, not paying much attention to flaws in coverage, even at 200 km / h. And on the winding narrow roads it is good - strung rotations of varying steepness and complexity of its chrome grille, like D'Artagnan guards the Cardinal on his sword. The city? No problem. Any more or less space between cars can be used for overtaking, and if "race" tired, the lever in the S-Tronic Drive, and "sick" themselves in a walking pace. I think that will not get lost TTS and on the racetrack, that's just the brakes for serious exercise seemed weak, there is a tendency to overheat. In vain did experts at Audi have changed only the pads and discs left standard. Apparently, left to RS. But while the RS has not yet appeared, Audi TTS is the most formidable weapon of all modifications of the TT. It requires a really strong arm and composure, but the owner of the add qualities repay in full speed, agility and obedience.
