B5 to B7 RS4

Post by Shave » Wed Mar 28, 2012 1:25 am

Hi Chaps,

I have a B5 RS4 at the minute, Ive had it for nearly a year, its a great car, and has a "special" feel to it compared to some of the other cars i've had, however...
While it feels like a missile in a straight line its a bit disappointing in the bends. It just rolls around too much for my liking!!

I've seen a nice B7 RS4 for sale and i'm quite tempted by it. I've read about the coking and DRC issues but i reckon the better handling and soundtrack would sway me.

I've had no real issues with my B5 so far (touches wood) and the car is fairly minted so i'm rather torn.

Has anyone made the change from B5 to B7 and regretted it or are there some who have made the change and are glad?

Thanks,

Alex
