Have you also thought about switching to the 18s? One thing that I'd like to do is test drive a Titanium with the standard 18s over some roads that I'm familiar with in order to determine how much difference in the ride there is, if any. I have noticed that more and more dealer stocked TTs now have the 19" wheels as a supplied option. Again, the car itself and the 2.0L Turbo is great, even if the MPGs can be a bit erratic at times. On clear well paved freeways I can get around 31 mpg. Local driving is more variable but the overall mpg is around 24-25 which is OK. It climbs up in speed so smoothly that when I glance down at the speedometer and see that I'm close to 85 MPH, I have to slow down quickly, a nice problem to have. The TT has so many nice small touches that make it a richer experience than the SEs and it's leather seats are among the most comfortable that I've ever had in a car. I just need to adjust to the ride characteristics or try what I can to improve them.
