Soon to be an RS4 B6 owner

[DigitalGraham]

Well after a year away from expensive running costs of a highly modified Mitsubishi Evo 5, I've decided (over several weeks of research and test driving ) that the RS4 is the future for me. Oh and my bank balance has recovered for the torturous Evo ownership

Living up norf near the Scottish borders it's taken a long time to scour the various online resources and sales/auctions and forums etc to find a potential purchase victim (I'm trying to work out who the victim might be ... me or car)!

I had toyed with the idea of an S5, which is no slouch of a car but it just didn't have that 'total package' or exclusivity of the RS models. So Monday hopefully will be D-day and I'll get the RS I want. Pictures to follow and when/if I buy it.

Cheers, Graham

The S4 looks tidy, I had considered an S5 but the RS just seems a little more practicable

Much more tunable having a charger and so addictive hearing it scream

The RS is also a V8, NA, and Manual...

I’ve had an RS4 B7 and I’ve had an S5. Out of the 2 the RS4 with its V8 wins hands down alllllllll day long. The V6 just sounds pants compared to the V8 beast.

The S5 was a V8 also, I'm not keen on the V6T tbh. I think it's the noise

Love the noise of my S4 but ive never been a fan of the v8 but each to their own.

I know that the early S5’s were a V8 but I was comparing My S5 which was a late 2012 model which was a crappy V6T.

Exactly! Each to their own. You can love your “S” all you like, but it’ll always just be an “S” and never be an “RS”

Now Now, I like both and my decision to go with an RS would be a personal preference and the resale potential value, as I expect the car to be with me for a while.
