Hmmm - could be interesting , as on the motorways near to me, the Police drive unmarked Suburu's.....so beware before you 'tease' . Have to say though, difficult to imagine how you could possibly compare this rattly, unreliable, heap of s**t with something as spectacular as an RS4 (but just my opini...

Suspension knocking - no idea, sorry. But on the discs issue, it could be warped discs as you say, if they have got really hot over and over again. But also, if he car has been standing in the damp conditions for a while, maybe, just maybe , the pads have rusted to the discs. When you 1st drive away...

I had a 911(997) Carerra 2 s. The Porsche is a lot more responsive than the \rs4, and is lighter of course, but doing 25,000 miles a year in a 911 is just too much.

But the RS4 has got so much more torque, and sounds fantastic. The V8 is just superb compared to the flat 6.

Thank you Santa !!

Just picked up my new RS4, replacing a 997. Can't believe i've waited so long to get one - it is absolutely stunning !! Thought about an M3, for about a second, and about 40 years too young for a merc, so bought the RS4 - and boy, was that the right decision or what. So , i bet this question has bee...

Tartan Rob, have browsed this forum and a few things about the RS4 that seem to shout at me are :- - Burns oil in early days - clunky gear change from 1st to 2nd; switching off ?? seems to fix it. - Can't fit a tow-bar (sod-it!!) ... As its a Sept 07 car, i am assuming its had the updates , but will...

Gents my first post on this forum (so please be gentle), as just sold my 997 for an RS4. I'm not surprised 997 was as quick as the RS4 away from the lights, it's an awful lot lighter. But wait till you get onto the twisties - the 997, with all the weight at the back can really be a handul, and does ...
