S3 to b7 rs4?

Post by Lukes3 » Sun Jul 07, 2013 3:49 pm

Alright lads new to this forum.
after a little help. At the moment i have a 2007 s3 running 360bhp maybe 400hp if i buy the right software.
but i have had it a while now and thinking a change, i cant make up my mind if to get rid an go for a b7 rs4.i have saw a 2006 rs4 with 40k on the clock looks good to me.
What you guys think? Stick with the s3 or go rs4?
Cheers.

I went from 320bhp S3 to RS4 and can't recommend it enough. The S3 wasn't a lot slower, and the surge on boost isn't the same as the build of the V8, but the RS is better in every single way. Still smile every time I drive my car. Take one for a drive and you'll be hooked.

My wife has an s3 sport back running around 330 BHP, to be honest the s3 is crap compared to my rs4, the ride is shocking, and build quality not up to much, you have made the right choice IMO

even if an S3 was as quick as the RS4, the RS would win hands down on exhaust noise

I have an APR stage II+ A3 and picked up an RS4 last month...all I can say is what a difference!!!! ride quality, torque, feel, build quality, EXHAUST!!! etc etc... love my A3, but now it feels like a go-kart. I know my A3 is nothing close to the S3, but just wanted to chime in! :)
