Thanks for the responses. Struggled to justify the RS4 and now I’ve got a 12 week old girl (hence goodbye RS3) I’m unlikely to be able to use the power. Wife has almost tempted me out of the S5 sportback into an SQ5 !! What is happening :shock:

I had a 90 min. Drive last night mostly m/way in the pissing rain - cruise on, heated seats on, massage function on just a nice relaxing place to be. Last 10 mins across country in the rain foot down and the car was amazing. Car is simply awesome!

I'd take an Sq5 over an S5 for pure practicality - I looked at one seriously myself. Really needs the air suspension and sportdiff options (drove a demo with those options and really liked it).

My wife has no idea of the RS4's true capability - she just thinks it's stuffed with technology, is smooth, quiet and supremely comfortable and a pleasant place to be day or night Which is true - it is all of those things. Sooner or later I'm going to have a manic grin moment with her in the passenger seat and then the proverbial cat will well and truly be out of the bag.

There are now several journalists/car writers claiming the 2.9 RS4 is quite possibly the most complete/all round competent Audi ever made and very likely one the best vehicles on sale anywhere today - it is a truly exceptional vehicle. Such vehicles will eventually be legislated off the road and we will be driving the distant decendants of milk-floats, at least we will be able to look back and know we enjoyed the pleasure.

Thanks for all the responses. Have shelved the idea of the S5 sportback and also the Rs4 :thumbsdown:
Now choosing between RR Velar, SQ5 or C63 Amg Estes ...have become so bloody indecisive. Damn Audi for not building and new RS4’s !!
