I took a 24 hour trip from NNJ to Boston in my 14 Turbo (build sheet at the bottom for info). I left early Saturday morning it was relatively warm and dry and had an awesome ride up to Boston. This car is so comfortable on the open road and the power to pass and over take cars is simply amazing. I made excellent time and could have driven all day...

Woke up Sunday AM to 40 degree temps and rain.... I have winter tires on so no big deal.... it was raining pretty bad at the start plus some ponding on the roads. The TT was unfazed by any of this. Car was great in the bad weather and inspired much confidence.

I averaged about 21-22 MPG over the round trip.... car was flawless!!

With so many threads on problems, noises, etc., I wanted to share my weekend experience and share with the group.

I drive my car all year. It is not a garage queen and I don't care about the next owner. Don't get me wrong, I take care of the car with the full respect it deserves, but I paid too much not to enjoy it all year....

Drive your cars fellas and enjoy the precious gifts of life and your amazing cars you worked so hard for!

Happy New Year to All!

I daily drive mine as well. Between my build and my mods I have over $200K in mine so it would be pretty senseless for it to just sit there!

Did a short road trip Christmas day with temperature in the mid-60's. Have done 400 mile trips in a day in comfort. Run with winter tires on second set of TTS wheels from now until late March, but don't use it as much in winter as in nice weather. The overtaking power is amazing. A bit like teleporting I think. Don't understand why anyone would buy a rapidly depreciating car like this and not drive it year round--a lot, although the PGTS is also amazing, if not as fast so it get more mileage than my TTS. The TTS does everything very well without drama, including track work.

That's a very nice build you have there Michael! Agree these cars are made to enjoy on a daily basis - very comfortable yet very sporty. No point having something too precious.

Drive it like you stole it!

Having a TTs in the garage is like having a hot woman and not making love to her
Both are meant to enjoy

Agree. Drive the hell out of it.

Thanks! If you can believe, this TT had an MSRP of 189K. I purchased in Nashville. Legend goes the owner wanted a TTS and they didn't have an allocation so he ordered this car to mirror a TTS. Best part, I purchased as a pre-owned car at TT market rates with only 4K miles..... someone paid a lot of $$ to drive 4K miles...

Thanks for the confirmation....

Now at 30 days of TT ownership here.....mostly happy.

If you are prone to having the perfect looking car - don't get black.

Black is a hobby, not a color........LOL

Says a guy with two black cars. The RR is a metallic black so it's easier to keep looking good but the CTTS is straight black.

How do you like the cayenne turbo S? Thinking of getting one. Thanks.

wrs

We love it. We also have a 2015 RR Sport Supercharged with a luxury interior, dynamic package and Meridian sound system. We only have the Bose in the CTTS.

The seats are better in the CTTS than the ones in the RR. The CTTS handles more like a car than a SUV and I consider it to be more of a luxury performance car. The RR is more of an SUV than the Cayenne and it's made for offroading which I need and can't really do with the CTTS. I added a Fabspeed exhaust with secondary cat bypass pipes to the CTTS and it really growls now. I like driving it around town almost as much as I do the TTS, in fact I find myself taking it instead of the TTS a lot of times. It's easier to get in and out of.

I have a 14 RRS SC with dynamic now. I've done 15000 flawless miles on it. Looking for a change from the "trucky" ride to the "sporty" ride.

Found a leftover 14 with 150 miles. MSRP 160K. Can get with CPO around 105K..... I'm thinking of doing it.

That sounds like a good deal especially if the Burmester is part of the package. If you want a sporty ride, the CTTS will definitely do that for you. The difference in handling is easily noticeable. The RR sits higher and you can feel the COG is up there which leaves you unable to handle corners or make quick moves on the highway as you can in the CTTS.
