2021 Audi TTS Review

　　Ronald Montoya has worked in the automotive industry since 2008. He has written over a thousand car related articles and bought and sold over 100 vehicles over the course of his career. Ronald is a senior consumer advice editor and content strategy at zzdcar and has also contributed to the Associated Press. He has also been featured on ABC, NBC and NPR on a number of car shopping topics. He got his start in the auto industry by taking a part-time job at a car dealership, where he worked in the service and accounting department.

　　The 2021 Audi TTS sits in the sweet spot of the TT lineup. Its ideal driver is one who is looking for a more powerful TT but doesn't have the deeper pockets for the top-shelf TT RS model. The Audi TTS packs a 288-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine and offers quick acceleration, nimble handling, standard all-wheel-drive and a crisp-shifting seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

　　The current TTS debuted in 2016 as part of the third-generation TT lineup. TTs are known for being high on style, luxury and technology, and this TTS is no exception. It has a sleek-looking exterior and an interior fitted with high-quality materials and a driver-focused layout. We're fond of the TTS, but it'll also be worth your time to check out a few rivals such as the BMW 2 Series (in its six-cylinder M240i guise), Porsche 718 Cayman and Toyota GR Supra.

　　

Which TTS does zzdcar recommend?

The 2021 TTS Coupe only comes in a single well-equipped trim. Your choices largely come down to what cosmetic trappings you prefer, from colored stitching on the seats to carbon-fiber interior trim, alternate wheels and more.
