Hey guys

I have owned a 2018 ttrs for a few months now ... nicely modded with the Audi sport body kit ... love the car
But sometimes I feel it's too bumpy/gocart on mountain roads etc ... another thing I don't like is the lack of tech .... the reverse cam on the ttrs is tiny .

Having said all that I still love the car and it gets the looks and is surely rare on the road .. but recently I have been watching lot of 2022 RS3 8Y v videos & stuff
and kind of feel like selling my TTRS to get a kemora grey sedan .. reasons being new tech ... may be the last 5 pot rs3 ? bit more practical and less bumpy to drive .. new torque splitter tech from Audi

Really can't make up my mind right now .. what do you guys recommend ? thanks for your time

Ride quality between the 2 is insignificantly different - wheel base is nearly identical between them, platform is the same. I own an RS3, and have a TTRS readily available to me, which I've driven quite a bit.

Tire choice makes the biggest difference in how a car behaves. Followed by tire pressure. I swapped from the stock PZero's on the RS3 to Pilot Sport 4S - massive difference for the better.

You're also likely a year out from the car actually being here. They are not orderable, and no eta when they will be.

Also, the OP does not state what size rims he has. If he has 20s (which most folks think are too stiff for a DD), dropping to 19s will provide noticeable comfort.

Hey mate thanks for your feedback , I have decided to get new wheels & tyres in 19's and change to ps4s .... to help with the ride quality
Went into the dealership here in Australia to possibly place an order on the new rs3 but they don't have flat bottom steering wheel they don't have 360 cameras they don't have blind spot monitoring with all the chip shortages ...
The interior build quality in the s3 wasn't as good as the ttrs , new rs3 won't sound as good as the 2018 TTRS ,,, all these reasons keeping in mind the new audi sport body kit making the heads turn ... M gonna keep it and just get her some new shoes

Thank you

Lots of guys go down to 18s for just exactly that reason ... they hate how bumpy the car is on 19s and 20s. If I were you, and that bumpiness bothers you that much ... I'd go down to 18s.
For stick ... PS4S are really good tire on road and track.

I put stock TT 18s on my 2021 TTs. Went with Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate tires in 255/40R18. I've never been a fan of Goodyear, but this tire and wheel combination is quiet, comfortable and handles very well.

Those d**n 20 inch rims are the worst thing Audi has offered.
I moved to 18" as soon as I could.
Ride quality is great, and I don't have to worry about hitting a pothole.

Why narrow tires became the 'rage' is beyond me.
