Overview

The 2013 Audi TTS Coupe makes for an excellent contender in the compact coupe segment. With two trims on offer, the Audi TTS has a base MSRP of $47,350. It competes directly with the Porsche Cayman Coupe, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe, and the BMW 3 Series Coupe. Only a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Together, they produce 265 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 5.3 seconds, the TTS maintains a combined fuel economy of 24 MPG. Audi offers the TTS in 6 stunning colors, with the Misano Red Pearl Effect being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The 2013 Audi TTS Coupe is a strong and fun-to-drive coupe offered in two trims. Among these, we recommend getting the higher-end Prestige trim that adds some extra features including rear parking sensors, heated seats, a navigation system, and an upgraded 12-speaker Bose sound system.
