On top of that a stock 335d will beat this TTS to 100mph, not 0-60 though.
Nobody really gives a s
t because its a completely different type of car. Yours is a family car, the TTS isn't. The TTS will get more looks from women than a 335d. That is very important. Predominantly men will be impressed by the 335d...Edited by paul328m3 on Saturday 9th August 18:56
g off what DXB owns. Okay yes you may be right. I get many many looks by women in my coupe. It is a sexy car. Women will look at a man in a vert TT and think the man has a nice ''womans car'' which the TT is.not really ideally suited the E92 to a family its only a 4 seater. 2 door thing. Bloody pain in the arse for lugging people.
The TTS is a great car, read back to what i said.

Oh FFS, you just CANNOT stop can you!!!!!! Driving is about so much more than torque figures and 0-60 times. You seem to base (and far too many others on this site do) your opinions on these factors only.
I have the financial means to carry out a Honda K20 Supercharged conversion on my Elise. This would easily give it 320bhp+, and it would demolish just about nything else on the road, both on straights and in corners. I don't want the conversion. Why? Because I'm more than happy with 160bhp and all the character of the engine and car.
You need to get out and drive some older/smaller/more specialist cars and see what you're missing. You don't need to spend ridiculous amounts on 'premium' brands.
If you do any more 'reviews', please treat them as a drive of that car. You don't have to keep referring to your beemer. You should also try and understand that not everybody likes cars such as yours. I'm sure it's a powerful, comfy, reliable, safe car, fair enough. But I can honestly say that if you offered me the Audi TTS and your 335d, I would rather keep my Elise. You may think me mad, but some of us just aren't into that kind of stuff....
I apologise for having the dig, but I wish you would open your eyes a bit and see some of the glorious metal out there. Not everyone is excited by the latest Audi/BMW diesel or overweight electronics-assisted lump, or what kind of leather it comes with. Happy driving mate....
And i aint into your type of car.. Im sure it goes good aroudn track etc. And if you ever bother to write anything about it, as i aint interested i wont come out of no-where and take the piss out of your car and moan about you writing about it. I dont go negative on other peoples posts and dotn deserve it hapening to me,
I enjoy my type of car therefore write about it,
You enjoy yur car and enjoy writing about it, same goes for everyone on here. There is ABSOLUTELY no need for negative comments and ''your car is a pile of wank'' comments

This is simply not true, except in your own mind.An Alfa 159 is a sexy saloon. A 335d is not.
ETA: Side by side:
We know you have a fast car. It's a nice colour, too.
The E92 is simply not an interesting car to look at. There's nothing wrong with it, but it's just visually dull.

Is this a joke? A 335d is a benchmark car, despite the TTS clearly aimed at a totally different market? Erm.......
If this was an attempt at freelance motoring journalism then it was terrible.
If it was a personal account of a drive in an unfamiliar and new car to the OP. It was terrible.
HTH
So you never test drive a car and compare it to what you drive yourself?If this was an attempt at freelance motoring journalism then it was terrible.

HTH
Comparing a diesel repmobile to a rag-top sports car is bloody stupid.

- It's not just about speed and price 
As I keep trying to tell quite a few on here!
Apart from that can't we just all lay off eachother - theres no need for it, I love cars with no driver aids and electronic gadgets, I love driving small country roads. I like old classic cars that feel fun even at road legal speeds - some don't.
Some like the speed, power and quality of a car with lots of assistance and gadgets.
Whats the better car? Thats down to the individual.

gging off at all. The 335d is a good car....as I have said. And it is a family car. The TTS is not. Nothing to be ashamed of. I drive an E36 328 coupe (4 seats and 2 doors like yours) and have no problems whatsoever with getting the missus and my 10 year old daughter in and out of it - your car is bigger than mine no??paul328m3 said:

Predominantly men will be impressed by the 335d...I've not driven a 335d, but did test a 320d - now I appreciate the 335d drive train is a lot better, but the rest of the car is largely the same.
I thought the 320d was pretty average. Build quality was nowhere near as good as the new A4 and I just found it a completely uninspiring car.

I have driven a base spec 320i and was left unimpressed myself. Ive driven many New Audis now and disgree there build quality is much better.

They're still largely the same car and interior - which was full of cheap plastics and especially poor silver painted crap.
The current 5-series is no better, either.
But there's no point in discussing this, as we all know the 335d is the bestest car ever made.

The E60 530d M-Sport I drove had the same interior (or near as dammit) as dxb's car, and it's dull. You'd feel robbed if you'd just forked over £40 large for it. No sense of occasion whatsoever.
Yup, my feelings, too.I'm not saying the Audis are perfect, but even the A4 TDI-SE was a much nicer place to sit - needed the optional sports seats to make it comfortable, though.
Jag. S-types have lovely interiors and although the 300C is a bit tacky, it has real character and ambience. Something really lacking in modern BMWs.
What do I know, though, I love the ergonomic nightmare that is my 75's interior and also loved the Saab 9-5 interior that I test drove earlier today.
