B7 to B8 should I?

Post by **Markmyatt7** » Fri Oct 03, 2014 8:16 am

Not long ago I sold my B7 but ever since I have been seriously missing it. With a bit of inheritance on the way I have the opportunity to get another one. Probably one with less miles than my old B7 (100k).

But I have been noticing the the prices of the B8 are coming down at a steady rate and some ones out there with good spec and low mileage and just a couple years old for just over £40k.

Is it worth waiting another year or two to when the prices will be in the £30k region to get a B8?

Love the B8! Had one on loan for the day and it really has not lost any of the B7s character. Decided to stick with the RS5 for now as the two dealers I have approached are not going the extra mile on discount! I want atleast 8k off. Try the standard suspension as the car I had had it on and it was brilliant! Very similar to the B7 ride (from new).

Loved my B7 and initially missed the manual box- but after a couple of months and. 3500km road trip the B8 is sooooooo great I have no regrets

Do you get same suspension issues with B8 as you did with B7 or DRC? Or has the B8 got a better suspension system?

Seems knocking is more of a problem than leaking,my mates at the end of his tether with the dealers trying to sort his.

DRC knocking is discussed a little here: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=111736

After all the issues with DRC it still surfaces and it seems Audi are non the wiser pin pointing the problem.

Since mine went in last month & had the work done I mentioned in the thread, I've not had any issues actually...

I am in the minority I know but I never went for the Sports package. I think the standard suspension is still great and none of the issues being experienced with DRC and it's well documented in the press that Dynamic steering us crap.
Fingers crossed but my car has not missed a beat since May and never been near the dealer except for a nice RS event over the weekend... RS6 and R8 V10 plus were awesome btw!

I actually quite like the steering
The press tend to weight their opinions based on how the car behaves on track, where it's admittedly not the most 'dynamic', but that's missing the point of the RS4. It's an everyday car for shopping and lugging kids and dogs etc
