Jethro Bovingdon's review of the new RS4

[neckarsulm]

..got Evo today.
Oh dear.
Sounds very similar to the RS5 reviews from 2 years ago.

Guess we will have to wait until they get one over here to test.

..Bovingdon likes his BMWs and I have to drive one that hasn't jarred by spine and loosened my fillings so it's interesting that he goes on about the ride quality being harsh.
IIRC Evo only rated the 5 star rated B7 RS4 above the long in tooth E46 M3 and not the E92 so what chance does the B8 have really?

Just got the grey bag through the post today myself! Haven't finished the last issue yet, and I don't allow myself to read the new one until then! Is that sad!lol

Anyway looking forward to the pics if nothing else. My subs is up this month and think I'm going to renew with the iPad deal too!

Looking forward to seeing a b8 in the flesh!

Glad to know I'm not the only one with strange ways

I have a few sad rituals ..... when I get the new one I always only allow myself to flick to the last page just in case the 'me and my car' piece has a car I have owned before ...... as yet this has not happened so I don't allow myself to read anymore of the mag until the previous issue is finished completely, which it never is.

I also never flick to certain features, as I read it back to front, all the way through, cover to cover to make sure I dont miss anything - so that ritual will only be broken the day the 'me and my car' review features one of my cars ....... it makes sense in my head at least

Don't judge me.

Off topic a bit I know, but I also read from cover to cover!

I have a supply of 100+ back issues that I go through probably over the course of a year.
Soon I'll not need to buy any more and can entertain myself simply by the back issues - by the time i finish the last one, I'll have forgotten the first!

lest we forget Chris Harris tested the RS5 for Evo - I remember it because he had an S5 camera car and they had an impromptu race and the S4 kept up...

Haha, I do that too
Currently new issue is still on the side in the bag until I've finished the last one (been a busy month)

Glad to see I'm not alone

I thought there was an implication that it was better than RS5 but still had a couple of flaws
