seriously considering selling up ....
Correct. I was never 100% happy with the suspension. It never felt sorted. New car is a counrty mile better. Even with the torquesteer, it is much more accurate, requires less correction mid-corner, and is more faithful.
Plus I had a miriad of engine issues. The main issues being secondary vacuum solenoid valves. I had at least 6 sets replaced, plus new short motor (scratched bores), new clutch pipes (x3), new DRC system (x3 + multiple pressure checks/sets), new front disks and a complete clutch system.
After the short motor was replaced I hoped that would be it, sorted. But 2 weeks later the engine light was back on for more solenoid valves. Had to go.

I`ve just stumbled upon this thread and I`m quite seriously thinking the same thing. Get a second car or sell the rs ...
I`ve also thought about fiting a longer 6th gear so as to help with highway mileage. I think it`s quite odd that the rs4 sits at 4000 rpm + at 160km/hr. Lowering that to about 3000 rpm or lower would be great
Torque is plentifull everywhere over 1500rpm .
