Add mileage or get runabout?

[caldy]

Pretty women tend to be high maintenance, just like an RS4 that is used to commute 5 miles daily in stop/start traffic when the engine hardly warms up and never has the opportunity to rev. Plus mine's a saloon so big black labradors and black leather seats do not mix well.

For me, the RS4 will probably be my last performance car and as such I will be keeping it for quite a while. I cannot see it's like being made in the future - big petrol V8 - at an affordable price. Anything I can do to prolong it's desirability can only be good news and I can easily put up with 30 minutes or so each morning in the Micra to achieve this. Besides, it makes the RS that much more exciting when I do drive it.

So a diesel A3 can do 910 mile range and the A2 can have a 710 mile range. I've had 460 on the RS4 and 510 on my old S4 DIS but its missing the point of RS ownership.

460!!! in the RS4 that can't be right, i've never got more than 340 and even my old S3 I couldn't get more than 420, how on earth did you manage that!!!

Anyone thinking of an A8 4.2 tdi? Read this topic some time ago , had a drive in an s320 cdi and an a8 4.2 tdi and now i`m thinking... I got 40 mpg (7l/100km actually) on a 150km/h highway cruise. Pneumatic suspension and quattro help with winter ski trips. 35000 euro with 40000-50000 km on the clock seems like a good buy.
No clutch replacement, no disc replacement just pads and oil ..... Also, these cars seem to be bullet proof both reliability and security wise.

USE THE RS4 YOUR A LONG TIME DEAD, AND YOUR ONLY THIS WAY THE ONCE

Another vote for option B, my car is on 45k now, love it to much to try and drive something else during the week
