If I were tempted to try and push the TTS too far, or egged on by the children who were also thoroughly enjoying this car, I had numerous back ups ready and waiting to protect not just us but the car.
Standard safety devices comprise of ABS with Anti Slip Regulations Traction Control, ESP, Electronic Differential Lock and, being a TTS, enhanced braking system with black painted brake callipers complete with another TTS logo. Protecting the occupants are driver plus passenger airbags along with side airbags for the front seats.
The Xenon Plus headlights come with LED daytime driving lights, headlight washer system and Adaptive lights, which I believe should now be standard on every car, for cornering at nighttime is so much safer as the lights pick up the kerb. Other toys are the acoustic parking system, Audi Hill Hold Assist, ISOFIX preparations for the two rear seats and the useful tyre pressure monitor system. Securing the TTS is a Thatchme Category 1 alarm.
I am always asked what car I would personally choose to own. Up until now it was the Jaguar XKR. Not any more. My choice has now been replaced with the Audi TTS Coupe and if money were no object I would also have a TTS Roadster for the summer. I loved this car and everything about it. The ride, the power, the handling the fun right down to the fact that the boot is accommodating for the weekly shop.
Vorsprung durch Technik – indeed
