Overview

The 2017 Audi TTS coupe makes for an excellent contender in the compact coupe. With a single trim on offer, the Audi TTS has a base MSRP of $52,500, competing directly with the Porsche 718 Cayman, the Lexus RC 350, and the BMW M240i. Only a 2.0L turbocharged Inline-4 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 292 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.6 seconds, the Audi TTS maintains a combined fuel economy of 25 MPG. Audi offers the Audi TTS in 11 stunning colors, with the Nano gray metallic being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The 2017 Audi TTS comes pretty well equipped with modern technology and safety features. You can expect features such as lowered sport-tuned adaptive suspension, automatic LED headlights, LED taillights, automatic wipers, an automatically deployed rear spoiler, heated and power-folding mirrors among its long list of standard features.
