I have owned two TT's in the past. Both DSG 3.2's, mk1 and Mk2. Loved both cars,

Anyway, I traded the last TT in for a 2010 S4 (second one of those two). 18 months later and I'm not really gelling with the S4. It really lacks emotion (for me anyway). It's not loud enough, fast enough or luxurious enough. It is good for winter though, and truth be told it wast purchased to drop the kids off at school etc.

I have a summer ride (Aston Martin Vantage 4.7, and a 510 hp Range Rover Sport (wife's car). Both great cars, both excell in making you feel like you are driving something speacial.

So here are my options for getting rid of the S4:

Audi TTRS. Very quick, especial with a chip. More neutral handling with a Haldex mod. Perfect car for tracking all summer and commuting in winter. Love the way they look. Great engine note, good not great interior (in Canada). Awesome transmission. Numb steering. Fast and unique. Beautiful. Feels special.

AMG C63. Very fast. Thunderous torque and exhaust note. Far better interior, with a few crap bits thrown in. Awesome 7 speed tranny, though that's also a flaw. Not as good looking, but optioned right, they do look great. The performance package gives you 480 hp. Better back seats than TT, better reviews, though bigger. In real life it is more livable. On track its close. Not a great choice of aftermarket tires and rims.

Both cars are similar enough in price. To me that suggests the TT RS is over priced.

What say you?

 

TTRS will not depreciate like the C63 though...

 

C63 is more like a GT car, TTRS is more like a fun toy!
for me T5Pot > V8

 

The facelifted C63 with better interior? Really? The new benz look good but the plastics are still cheap and flexy. Go push on the doors and you'll see the plastic flex, the A4 cars does this also but the TT's does not. The TTRS has better overall interior quality but if you are saying better "newer" looking in design which I could understand.

I've driven a non RS TT and the guages look terrible with monochrome orange. I hope you're not comparing your regualar TT interior to the new C63. The RS guagues are bright white with digital boost meeter without any of that orange in the cluster. With the steering wheel and cluster it looks like the R8.

Both have pros and cons but for about the same price the C63 is the bigger car with the bigger engine, brakes and the better deal. It is definitly the best value in the Benz lineup. If you don't need all weather the benz would make more sense. I

The C63 has one of the most highest hp/toruqe per smallest tires. That's one of my only peeves about the car. I was thinking about the C63 since I may need a 4 door but with the new M3 around the corner it'll be tough.
