Hi guys

Thinking of changing my B7 Audi S4 convertible to an TTS mk2 (couldnt stretch to the RS unfortunately).
Been doing quite a bit of research (searched the forum here, the buyers guide, some youtube reviews etc)

Think I will be going for the Black edition which if I am not wrong gives the 19in wheels, BOSE system etc.

I just wanted some opinions about the TTS and what type of equipment levels should I expect? As some of them seem a little bare bones!

Have they lost the 6 stack CD player in favour of the AMI or whatever it is called?

Any opinions on the performance? RIde etc?

Cheers

Mike

Fire me a message and I'll send you over PDF of the original brochure so you can have a good look at what was available.

Performance still very good by standards now; it's an S3 with a load of weight ripped out. Surprisingly agile little thing too. I rather like driving them. With mag-ride (standard) they're still firm but less harsh than a standard car without the adjustable dampers. Back seat is a joke but actually makes for a large, practical load area.

Heated seats and mag ride are standard, Bose well worth having as are rear parking sensors. Infotainment starting to feel dated but the navigation can be improved a bit with aftermarket software and bluetooth audio is easily added.

Any chance of a PDF also please?

Were heated seats always standard or in from a certain year?
It's often difficult to see on Auto Trader photos but it looks like many cars are missing the buttons on the console.

I fancied a TTS next but have had to defer due to other commitments and always fancied a MK1, so got one of those but the TTS is still on my radar, dont worry if it doesnt have navigation, for £250 and a couple of hours, fit one of these, way better than 2009 systems, if you can live with generic, non Audi systems that is, appareciate not everyone likes Android.
