As Jonathan says, only you can make the final decision however if I were in your shoes I'd hold onto the Audi.
Anyway, I recently upgraded to an RS4 from a rally bred variant of road car - the Escort Cossie.
I did consider Evo ownership (albeit for all of 5 minutes) but there was quite a lot putting me off them:
1. Residual value and depreciation - the prices on these things will drop like a stone. IMO, RS4 prices will plateau soon and hold a strong value in years to come.
2. Build quality, German vs Jap; its a no brainer really.
3. Interior - even my 16 year old Ford Escort had a better built, higher quality interior than a lot of the modern Jap rally machines.
4. Rarity value. Evo 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc over a how many year period?
5. V8 vs Straight 4.
These are just my opinions but personally - even after having only owned the Audi for less than a week, I think as a long term commitment you'd regret going for the Evo.
Erm..... he's a sales rep, what else did you expect him to say!RobbieRay wrote:The EVO sales rep said it drives very well, not like the old EVO's that drove like karts, more refined and 'Audi like' is what he said.

The Audi Assist can be renewed on its own , 2yrs approx £120 I think . Very worthwhile

Yep, will definately renew the Audi Assist if I keep. They have provided me with 2 lone cars already, since all this kicked off. Thx

Had a blast against one of these on sunday and it left me 
, great looking and very fast, that said though when I was looking at getting the RS4 i also considered getting one of these BUT the quality and class let it down unfortunatly, just my opinion.
Performance wise it'll be wicked fun, not to sure about reliabilty though.
