Time to sell my RS4 :(

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282691860637?ul_noapp=true

Have a look and see what you think.

I'm just doing too much mileage to justify keeping it :(

Re: GTR

Some interesting points here. I've come from an Impreza and hot hatch background so perhaps my comparisons don't stack up against my RS4 B8.5 but, I have driven the new R8, RS3 and RS6/7 and they feel similar obviously excluding the R8 - that thing is immense! As a daily drive the B8 is great, comfy...

Re: GTR

Might not have been his car or not had it long. On a hard cross county thrash with my mate I can only just keep up, the GTR chassis is stunning compared to the mediocre B8.5 RS4. Sounds like an epic car - you driven your mates? Not sure the B8 chassis can be called mediocre though - it's a great ca...

Re: GTR

My friend has one and its in a different league to my RS4, in the corners, on a straight, 0-60, every where. I am not a fan of the harshness and poor build quality compared to my B8.5 however the GTR is mental and when driven well its stunning. I couldn't live with one at all but I can appreciate t...

Re: GTR

In my experience, not everyone knows they are racing and or tries that hard. Numerous cars have "had a go" with my RS4 and sometimes I just get bored, can't be bothered or the driving they are doing to keep up/get away is unsafe so i stop. As said above on pure specs alone the GTR is much quicker 0...

Re: GTR

Slow driver. There's no competition in outright performance. That's what I thought, he seemed to be going for it though which is what made me think it may be the suspension setup on bumpy roads. There's a thread on the <2008 GTR versions being twitchy under braking and not handling bumpy roads well...

GTR

Has any B8 RS4 owners driven a GTR and have any feedback on the differences? I had a little fun with one on some nice country roads and there wasn't anything in it on the corners or the straight - wondering if he was just a slow driver or if the real world differences (excluding track capability) of...

Re: RS4 with C7 RS6 Engine Swap

Surely that's cost them more than sticking a supercharger on the V8? It's still very impressive don't get me wrong...

Re: Probably scaring myself over theft but

Locked garage, 16 camera cctv system, another car parked in front of garage door, alarm in garage, keys for car in house - house occupied by 5 dogs including three police German shepherds. I don't take any other measures but then I live in an A rated postcode lol Yeah you're probably a soft target,...

Re: Probably scaring myself over theft but

The more difficult it is to get your car from where you park it may reduce the possibilty of it being stolen, although it obviously takes you longer to get it out too. I try to leave my car where it isn't on view to passing traffic, but it obviously depends on your situation for parking and your ho...

Re: Probably scaring myself over theft but

depends where you live and where you leave your car I guess... i was unlucky enough to have mine stolen last year but it was recovered within 24 hours with next to no damage. Needless to say, the security for it has now been improved!!! I live on a busy street and the car is parked outside my house...

Probably scaring myself over theft but

I've been reading articles saying that my wheels, seats, car and virginity are all going to get stolen by some car thief when I get my car next week. Is it really that bad in peoples experience? Do I need to buy a sniper rifle?? :kissmyrings:
