B6 S4 to B5 RS4

Evening folks. Im contemplating going for another Audi uber barge and was just wondering if there was much difference in terms of running costs, handling and acceleration between a B6 S4 and a B5 RS4?
I owned a B6 S4 last year for about 3 months and sold it to buy a new shape Scirocco which I might add is brilliant but I miss the V power. I found the S4 very good, decent handling but fooking awful on fuel and bodywork was not the greatest with some corossion and paint bubbles.

I do about maximum of 1000miles a month and have a 2nd car to use if this was off the road but Im assuming mpg will be similar to the S4 I had. Whats the tank size as it pissed me off filling up every 250miles on the S4?

Anyone want a 58 plate 2l TFSI Scirocco in red? :bigblink:

I know what you mean about having to fill up every 250 miles, it isn't even the cost, as we all buy these big V8s with our eyes open, but I never thought about the hassle of having to pull into the filling station once a week (sometimes more) still, it is worth it though. The B5 RS 4 is an epic car, I say go for it. I recommend Mikeyquattro's in the classifieds here.

If I get the Scirocco sold for decent money then thats exactly what I want i.e. in Misano red.
