i am driving a friends rs4 for sometime.it was the car posted in my pic gallery.i was sometimes thinking to change my car with something faster and newer speciallty when my car was in deep trouble...
to make the long story short here are my current ideas ,after driving the rs4 for a week
performance:
i dont believe there is difference in performances of both cars.actually rs2 is acting or let me say behaving more agressive on acceleration.you feel sudden power coming. rs4 is much more smooth. i couldnt find my friend who owns the gtech but i will on monday.thats why i cant give the numbers for rs4.but we will all seee that the performance will be same or may be rs2 faster

comfort;
seats interior and specially steering wheel of rs4 is much better then rs2.this is where you pay 35000euro difference.rs4 wins this section by big-difference

body;
xenons ,side spoiler and side bumper ventilations on rs4 is very nice.but dont forget the huge air holes and porsche emblems,wheels on rs2. this section i cant decide.

handling;
not too much difference if you ask me,weights are same but rs2 behaves like lighter and gives more sportive feeling ,suspension i think- more sportive on rs2.rs4 is much better on hi speeds.very comfortable,you dont feel the speed at rs4.
so let me say like this;
if i am gonna drive on mountain roads, with lots of curves average 80-150 i would choose rs2
but if i travel from amsterdam to italy i definately choose rs4

what else?!?!
-fuel comsuptions are same, iwas expecting more from rs4 but no they are same

thats all

That's useful timucin. In a nut shell Rs2 is more fun than rs4 and it's only a little slower, am i correct to assume that? Would you trade your rs2 for rs4?

dont think so reason is normally there is 35-40000 euro difference between cars prices but,if i take my car to a gallery and ask them to trade they will try to take my car for 15-20000 euros and they will ask 65-70000euro to rs4. so there will be like 50000euro difference between the cars.no ,i dont cause ididnt see that much difference between them.i can buy the two other turkish-rs2's and modify mine for that price. and off course i change my username to triple-trouble ....

Lucky you that RS4 only cost 70,000 euro & rs2 20000 euro. in my country rs4 will cost 110,000 euro & the rs2 i am thinking of buying is about 40,000 euro. Import duty on cars is ridiculously high. Hence high prices of cars.

actually prices were same here in turkey but we are having serious economic crisis for the moment thats why prices are lower compared to past....
insurance values are much higher then market values for the moment
ex rs4 : insurance value 95000euros
