some strange reason im looking at .........
I had me B7 rs4 for nearly 4 months and love it... but for some reason im looking at the B8 not really interested in rs5 or 6 but theres summit about the 4 that floats me boat,theres a nice noggy at my local tempted to ask for a test drive but our lass will go mental well not really but she will question why after less than 6 months I want another one...did this with my last bmw,,spent loads on it and then sold it this is my first audi car and really love the RS and that V8.or maybe I just need to spend more money on me RS and do more modding to compensate for buying another car but you have to admit they are nice cars lol

Re: some strange reason im looking at .........
Know what you mean. Have to admit I'm a bit tempted too, but although the owners seem to really rate them the motoring press weren't very enthusiastic and almost all reckon the B7 is a better all-rounder. They don't half sound nice though.
Trouble is, I know that if I test drive one I'll want it

Don't do it mate, the b7 is the most all rounder out there, just getting on a bit, worst thing I done was sell mine.

Re: some strange reason im looking at .........
I had that car for an extended test drive last month. Or its doppelganger. Really nice.
Re: some strange reason im looking at .........
Go for a good test drive on a challenging road and then come back here.
Re: some strange reason im looking at .........
Even better bring your b7 down south and try and keep up with my b8 on a challenging rd, your get smoked end of storyGo for a good test drive on a challenging road and then come back here.
B7 has a better steering feel that's it!!!
Re: some strange reason im looking at .........
I'd take bet in my flabby wobbly Cabby against the heffer numb B8
Re: some strange reason im looking at .........
That's only because you've got one, you loved your rs5 that's no step up from a b8I'd take bet in my flabby wobbly Cabby against the heffer numb B8
Re: some strange reason im looking at .........
But the steering is numb!!
Re: some strange reason im looking at .........
Haha....RS 5 was great! But not sure I'd lose a B7 in it !

Re: some strange reason im looking at .........
that maybe RIV but sadly I wont be buying one for that reason fella.i would rather go fast in a straight line these days than try it round corners must be a age thing creeping up on me
Re: some strange reason im looking at .........
Tbh there's not much in it, I've been to loads of meets in convoy with b7's there's not a massive difference in power, b8 pulls harder and has much faster shifts in gearing, I don't like all the settings for b8 there's too much messing about to get what you want, I think the b7 is less fussy and set up better from the off,b8 is a nicer place to be, as it should with the price difference, I only really bought mine as it's so unusual. I would say b7 with a charger fitted is a better place to put your money.unless you want something newer.Haha....RS 5 was great! But not sure I'd lose a B7 in it !
