i hear what you're saying mate and i agree i probably will use the brakes and tyres at the same rate BUT i'm going to get a fixed cost maintenance tyre and service plan -price probably around £40-50 a month. I've had this before on a Mk5 golf gti and i was quids in, each yr i had 6 tyres replaced with the plan and the service which would have cost considerably more than the £30 x 12 months= £360 a yr i paid on the golf.simonhill wrote:Interesting read this one - considering the way you seem to drive to and from work each day surely you will still get through fuel tryes and brakes in a similar fashion. I know that the Golf parts will be cheaper, but you have to consider the depreciation curve of both cars. The RS4 has done the worst of it's depreciation now - and if the running costs are really that bad, just drive differently. You can still drive fast without having your foot nailed through the floor. You'd be amazed how much fuel the golf will guzzle through if you drive it hard too, any engine that relies on boost to cater for the lack of displacement will like a good gulp juice.
How about driving an RS4 to the same performance of the golf - would probably be a similar cost? Only a thought.

Glad to hear you're happy with your change. I seriously thought about doing what you've done a while back.jackwood wrote:I've just traded the RS4 in for a Focus RS. Very happy with the decision so far.
Exactly what I did rather than buy a focus! Still an RS of sorts but with a V4SR71 wrote:Get a motorbike.
