RS246.com Forum :: The World's #1 Audi R, S and RS Enthusiast Community

Most forum posters keen on RS2s realise I am interested in this model.
Whilst I realise the model is nearly 20 years old, why are so many of these cars in the hands of their 5th or 6th owners ?

ERM because its 20yrs old??????!!!!!!

Probably the same reason a lot of RS4s and RS6s are mate, dream cars for some people. Plus they are 20 years old.

Edit, Dk beat me to it.

I guess if 3 years is the average time someone keeps a car, then over 20 years one would expect 7 owners. However I would have thought that with specialist, limited edition cars & ones that are considered fun, there would be longer periods of ownership.

I have had my 996 for 9 years and my RS6 for 10 years. So I guess I am not the average driver.

Fuel consumption on the RS2 averages about 19mpg, so I think that rules it out as a daily for most people. Saying that I have had mine for over 7 years, but my mileage is 3k pa. I don't think I will ever sell mine, it's a great car.

Some people are just serial car changers - posters on car forums tend to be like that. I, however, have owned my RS2 since new as it was built specially for me.

I cannot help hating you, just a little bit.

3 owners also

They are still awesome cars. Personally I'd prefer one over a B8

I am still very keen to get behind the wheel of an RS2 with a view to buying one. I think they look 'iconic'. My RS6 is 10 years old & with all the negative comments about 'straight line barges', I find mine handles superbly well. Its low down turbo blast just annihilates everything I overtake. I am just worried the RS2 will not be instant enough for me & perhaps the steering may be a little sloppy as it is a 20 year old car. Any thoughts ?

because it's an Audi
