What TT - S or RS?
Discussion
I've quite fancied one of the Mk2 TTs for a while and now I am in the lucky position of being able to afford one. The TTS seemed the most likely buy but I've noticed that TTRS prices have dropped to a point where I can afford one (at a stretch).
Question: Whilst the TTRS has *the* engine to have (and all the 'baby R8' connotations), given that I am not a professional track driver, for a daily dual carriageway commute and occasional hoon, will I really benefit?
Cheers

You need to drive them both really.
The S is hardly slow and I think generally better spec than the RS. Magnetic rife is standard which is a very good system.
Thanks for that. Only problem is I've just seen an RS in Sepang Blue The S is hardly slow and I think generally better spec than the RS. Magnetic rife is standard which is a very good system.

How do the running costs stack up? The S is very reasonable to run for what it is.
Fuel consumption: not a lot of difference real world.Insurance: Can get either for a premium of ~£400 pa (
)Servicing: I guess the RS is a bit more.
My wife has a TTRS Plus Roadster - just clicked over 1000 miles and the engine is starting to loosen up.
It is OMG fast - the only car I have EVER driven that I felt would humble our beloved Griff 500.
TTRS Plus has 20 extra pokes and a few lightweight bits, sports exhaust, 174 limiter, sat nav and extended leather as standard, plus we opted for the comfort pack - park sensors cruise and auto lights and wipers (should have been standard on a 50k car but that is another story)
Only downside is the squeaky effin brakes, hey Doc?????.

I am in a similar situation - the RS has grown on me hugely over the last couple of months.
Daytona grey looks stunning. The sound is fantastic.
Ps, anyone have an idea why I can't see the pictures others have posted?
You are at work and your system administrator doesn't want you wasting bandwidth Daytona grey looks stunning. The sound is fantastic.

Owned a 2010 TTS, nice car but had a few annoying faults from new. Also found the engine a little laggy, not much shove below 2500rpm but on boost was fairly rapid. From what i've read the RS engine is amazing, grunt everywhere and sounds alot nicer than the 4 pot. If you have the cash i'd go RS.
