So after the 4 months in my current RS4, I have am jumping out of it for good - barring no disasters between now and Friday. The car never managed to excite me like my first RS4 or the RS6 thereafter. Perhaps its my age at 37 or perhaps its that I have an impending speeding case coming. Perhaps both of these. Using these cars the way they should is becoming harder and harder.

It is with all this in mind I am going to the opposite end of the spectrum and jumping into a Touareg V10 tdi. Slow, rolly-poly, large, plenty of toys, comfort and bags of torque...

The Q7 is huge and I dislike the looks from the side and rear. The Q5 is gorgeous and drives superb but I think overpriced just now.

I am picking up a q7 tomorrow for my other half, need a baby carrying vehicle as she's been using my rs4 for the past few months and that needs to stop, 1 curbed one so far .

They are huge but still like them.

It's a shame to lose the rs4 but if you've had your fun and are ready to grow up to a lux barge then go for it, I'm 37 aswell and love my rs4, it's great , have lots of nice twisties on the way to work with no cameras/police etc which helps

Too many to list......but a 1275 Cooper S was one of them whilst we are talking Mini's & having fun without too much top speed.

Does the list end "Audi RS4"? Saloon/sedan, Avant, cab...

Getting good at avoiding the tough questions, must be tiring.......

The best version

Which is?

I'd love to see a photo of you and your RS4 - you're so passionate about all things related to the RS4 you must be really proud of yours?

A slightly modified quote...

"never in the field of human conflict has so much been said by so few"

Sorry but the quality of threads of late are spoiling Rs246.
