Audi uk delivered me a 63 plate RS5 today to use until they can find me an R8 to use until fixed
Anyone else driven an Rs5 back to back with their rs4's ? I know I've been in a diesel a6 for the last week, but the rs5 feels faster than my rs4 did ? Anyone else experience this ?
Fwiw, rs5 is press car and has had a hard 10k miles, stinks of fags and is scratched to bits

Harsh braking on mine from at 60+ is now causing bad vibrations :(

Guess it's heading the same way as yours Graeme

On paper the RS 5 is quicker. I suspect the coupe may handle slightly better than the avant.

I've driven them back to back at Milbrook and I did notice the RS 4 was very slightly slower but I did have three people on board as opposed to one.

I found that RS5 cab slow and ponderous by comparison.

I'm yet to drive one, I'd like to though just to get a better feel of the exhaust.

When I say back to back I mean I drove there in my RS 5 coupe and then got straight into the RS 4.

It certainly feels a bit faster than my RS4, but difficult to tell after a week in a diesel a6
It is a press car though, so could be a 'good' example :)

It's not the RS4 is it. Looks very nondescript.

She loves that mini but it's the worst 'sporty' car I've driven for years
I'd rather drive my van :)

I do hope after suffering the brake squeal scandal in the RS3 this isn't a sign of things to come!
