Wanted - RS4 B7
Re: Wanted - RS4 B7
Macan is lovely, but the SQ5 is a bargain by comparison!
Any daily drivers in mind when the second RS has gone?

Macan interior is in a different league though.Ian_C wrote:Macan is lovely, but the SQ5 is a bargain by comparison!

I sway like a tree in the wind at the moment, this morning's latest idea:
Sell both RS4's
LPG a R32 Golf or R36 Passat for daily duties and then the weekend car a BMW 1M or TVR Cerbera.

Sit in a Macan then tell me SQ5 is a bargain. Reality is there's no comparison. And with the Porsche you get proper customer service and a three hour drive at their Silverstone centre.Ian_C wrote:Macan is lovely, but the SQ5 is a bargain by comparison!

Re: Wanted - RS4 B7
Mates dad recently took delivery of a Macan, I need to keep pestering him to have a sit in it! Saw one at Le Mans last year (few around with Porsche returning to LMP) and it looked great

Re: Wanted - RS4 B7
Yes, Blue one will be sold before reaching 70k which is another 12k away yet. I do still have an active search on very low mileage RS4's though.Ian_C wrote:Wow you are serious about selling the Sprint B7 then!
A Macan daily would be nice, don't go drive one though as the Man Maths might be actioned to start crunching the numbers.

Thing is you'll have to wait so frigging long to place the order that man maths reversal is possible.

The F-Pace is aiming to take some of the pie from the Macan as the 'performance cross over'
Re: Wanted - RS4 B7
It'll have to go some to be better, though I can imagine it'll take some sales due to volume that Porsche are making available.HYFR wrote:The F-Pace is aiming to take some of the pie from the Macan as the 'performance cross over'
F-Pie based on Evoque?

I dunno if it will be "better" but it's certainly benchmarked against it in every way
No it's not based on Evoque.
Based on all new XE Alu platform which if you read the XE press drives were pretty glowing

Re: Wanted - RS4 B7
For me there are only 2 engine configurations worthy of consideration (in order of preference):
- a V; preferably a V8 or V10 as I love the "growl" of a V8 and the off-beat note of a V10 from the half-orders but the scream of a V12 doesn't do it for me.
- an in-line with an odd number of cylinders; which means an I3 or an I5 - because I enjoy the off-beat sound from the half-orders you get from an odd number of cylinders (especially if it's from a short wheelbase Sport Quattro).
So what engines do the cars in our house have? - 2 I3's and a V8
