The Best way to appreciate just how good your RS4 is.

[P_G]

Go and drive an underpowered small family car for a day and get back into your car.

I sometimes forget just how good the RS is but after a day in the wife's A2, the RS feels more planted, lighter in steering wheel feel, more precise, better turn in, less roll and infintely more powerful.

If anyone continues to complain their RS is underpowered I'll let you have the A2 for an hour for you to appreciate how good your car is! At a price of course!

i do something similiar, book it in at Audi and take a courtesy car, usually another A4 variant..... does exactly the same for me when I get back in the RS

I swap between the rs and an octavia 1.9 diesel estate (non turbo)

I swap between my RS4 Avant and my wife's Skoda Fabia 1.2 HTP 12V.

Chalk and cheese!!!

Totally agree. Go back to it after the wifes A3 and there is no comparison whatsoever. Open up an RS4 on any decent road and unless you are really picky there are not too many things around that will touch it. A great all-round package me thinks.

I only drive my wife's Clio Dynamique 1.6 when the RS4 needs filling up with petrol.

It leaves other cars standing when you put your foot down at high speed in 6th !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They can have mine when i'm taken, by force, into a home f&&&&&g brilliant piece of kit and it just GROWS on you and gets quicker every day

Wifey has Porsche Cayenne turbo to ferry the kids around so whilst I see a huge difference in handling the porsche is quick and sometimes scary for a big car. Looks like a pig though ( that's the car not the wife ). She loves it but I hate the thing especially as I pay all the bills. Mind you the price I picked up for 2nd hand in October was stupendous value

Peugeot 306 diesel then the avant!!!

Even more so if you downshift to 4th

Vauxhall Vivaro Van during the week , then jump in the RS4 Avant at the weekend. That's why it's only got 11k miles after 30 months old!!

I normally downshift from 6th to 3rd when I want to have some fun!!!

[P_G]

Yep, third is usually good for up to 100 before hitting the limiter, fourth takes you well past that.

[Gazzer68]

Keep the rev's above 5k and then the car becomes a racing car, just try it !
Only problem is, it's just too fast for most roads where i live driving it this way

Oh dear. I'm going the other way (ooh er missus!), I've got the RS6 saloon tomorrow for 24 hours. I still think I'll enjoy getting back into the "smaller" RS4. Will let you know how the 6 drives tomorrow.
