B7 Audi RS4 Avant
What did we say about Audi building under-steering family wagons? We meant to say it built under-steering family wagons until the B7 RS4 Avant. The B7 raised Audi's game on many levels. Out went the turbocharged engines of old cars, and in came a naturally aspirated V8, so good it would soon take up home under the engine cover of the R8 supercar. Almost as important as the engine, though, was its positioning, spreading behind the front axle, meaning the B7 didn't have the sledgehammer of every RS4 before it. The final key change was a four-wheel drive system that valued fun as much as traction.
All these qualities came wrapped in a practical estate (or less remarkable saloon) car body with just the right amount of menace to differentiate it from Grandpa's A4 Avant. Throw in Audi's peerless build quality, which peaked around the B7’s time, and you have one of the best everyday performance cars ever made. Prices start from around £15,000 for a good example, a situation that can't last long.
