Got a dilemma between these two? Any suggestions?

[RoundelM3]

If you want a cramped 2-seater costing more than the 335i, go for the TTS.

[Hooy]

I guess the TTS isn't too bad. If you're blind.

[mike-y]

did you drive them both?

do so, and then pick the one you like better.

[jaybird124]

TTS if you want a rebadged VW.


And I'm not blindly hating on Audi. That one really is a rebadged VW.

[M340i Pride]

if you want a SLOWER CAR that is less explosive and MORE EXPENSIVE, LESS PRACTICAL AND LESS COMFORTABLE CAR as your DD, then go for TTS.

only thing going for tts, in all fairness, is the handling, but for LOT MORE MONEY.

I also like audis (if bmw did not exist i'll get one) but tts is not a good choice over 335i

[1Sleeper]

Drove the TTS, really liked it. Came very close to getting one. Much different than my 335 both the way it drove and the interior/exterior but a very nice car.

While I love my e90, it's not fair to say the TT-0S is slower. I've never driven it, but published results say it's faster than a 335i. Here's a couple links:

Look at entry 141 and 177

Not the original C+D source but a compilation. Much slower here.



OP needs to drive it to see if it works for himself. Most Audis abd BMW's are good cars. Enjoy them all.

[fdriller9]

The TTS is wicked fast!! I would still prefer a 335 though.....I'm biased.

Answer is no a VW is not better than the BMW as none of the VW variants perform at the TTS level but the TTS does perform at and exceed the 335i performance level so you BMW guys really need to learn to get off of the Audi is a rebadged VW sh!t as it just makes you look dumb with the example I just gave you.

Some numbers for you if you like to compare the TTS vs 335i
http://www.fastestlaps.com/compariso...4cf1611ae.html

Exactly.REALLY dumb. The M3 is a rebadged 323?. A8 is a re-badged Gallardo?.
911 is a rebadged Jetta? Being awd the TTS would be WAY faster on a track than rwd 335 for most people. Very different cars. Once again........drive them both and decide. This forum has proved time and time again to be NO place for objective opinion. Have an open mind.

I still can't figure out why you come around this forum. It's puzzling.

What would you expect from a BMW forum

Agreed. Although its probably true of all forums.

I just said on the 335i vs S5 forum that the M3 was a superior car to the RS5 so I just say it like I see it and if you don't like it than prove me wrong. Simple as that.
Tell me how I was wrong with what I had just said about the VW and Audi TTS above? Or is it simple that you just don't like the truth?
If you notice I didn't say anything about the other comments as that is personal opinion but the other is just bad information.

The other reason I am on this forum is because on the Audi forums mostly the guys are much more mature and they try to refrain from the fanboy crap unlike some here so it is much more entertaining here. The Audi forums are much more technically based rather than opinion based.

If you akin yourself with being technically based, why are you usually riled in your posts.

I digress, still I don't believe that I was a 'fan boy' for stating a fact about the TTS and it's relation to VW. I did not say that all Audi's are rebadged VW's.

In any case, I apologize if I've ruffled your feathers. I'm not looking to do that.

[persian54]

the TTS is more comparable to a Z4 not a 335

[WingZeroX5]

i thought this thread was titled

335i or TITS

Agreed, comments like "if you want a cramped 2 seater that costs more than a 335i" really makes us seem rather ignorant. OBVIOUSLY the OP is aware of both the cars sizes and relative price points. And generally speaking a few thousand dollars is NOT enough to sway a decision in this price bracket.

Back on topic though, the two cars are difficult to compare directly but despite what people would have you believe the TTS is a VERY capable sports car. While the 335 is a VERY capable sports sedan/coupe. If you need an automatic for whatever reason the TTS beats the BMW hands down with its dsg. There's also the over saturation of 335's (and bmw's in general) that may or may not have weight on your decision. The 335's ride it more compliant and its cabin is less claustrophobic on long trips . The Audi's cabin is of higher quality though.

Botom line, if you're looking for sports car thrills and looks the 335 will eventually feel lacking. Although as a car to live with you may find the TTS perhaps asks for too much in return.

[B3AST]

TTS is a very nice car, but asking the opinion of people on these forums is pointless. 90% of the people on this forum have probably never driven a TTS and probably never will. The opinions you will get will stem from either brand loyalty or documentation found on the internet. The decision is solely yours based on price, performance and other personal issues. I've always been a fan of Audi/VW and think they make fantastic cars. Having owned a VW and my best friend owning an Audi I can tell you they aren't on the level of a BMW. I've driven countless numbers of Audi vehicles and BMW vehicles and I would choose a BMW every time. While the S line of Audi is very fantastic and very gorgeous, in my opinion they just don't match up to the M line of BMW. Once again that's just MY opinion, for what's it's worth, which could be nothing. Either way the TTS is a gorgeous car but a little too tiny for my taste, the same with the Z. I think you would be much happier with a 335i, but again it's YOUR decision. Choose wisely!!!

Translation: the Audi forums are boring and filled with people who like to talk about thier scrapbooking.

Yes, the internets has laws!
Hey it could be worse. I play GT5 and post a lot on gtplanet - Over in that Bizarro world I get "infractions" for grammar in my posts. LMAO the kid that sent the last one even miss spelled infraction.

Anyway back to the OP questions,
Having owned a 335 for awhile now, it may be I just got a lemon, but mine has been in the shop so much the SA knows my voice when I call and we are on a "hows it going dude" kind of relationship. Pathetic for a car in this price range. If the Audi is even half more reliable I'll be looking at them as well next time around. I have also read they drive very well but the older TTs are dogs.

There are few cars currently rated as less reliable than BMWs, Audis are one of them.
