Totally of topic, but I had an M4 for a test last week - That's a different game to most Audi's when it comes to driver experience

I've driven one but they wouldn't even let me boot it between 40 and 70I've not had a try of one yet, but it's getting some good reviews

I take it the m4 was good?

Very impressive, but too small for me
Rs4 with Audi noise and M4 handling would be incredible

Interesting! Why don't BMW do an m3 estate? That would sell well I reckonVery impressive, but too small for me

Re: My ride for the weekend
Estate car target market are usually failures and parents tend to use turn signal indicators (something about safety or something), BMW are yet to build a car that has working indicators.

True story, my mate was cut off on his bike by a BM driver! Next traffic light, mate walked up to car, leaned in and snapped off the stalk and threw it away saying you clearly don't need this! Only to realize it was the wiper stalk hahahha

If BM, Audi, Merc etc all produced cars which performed/handled the same we wouldn't have much choice for personal preferences. E.g. I'll never own a BMW and the day I own a Merc is the day I start taxi driving.Graeme4130 wrote:I've not had a try of one yet, but it's getting some good reviewsRIV wrote:It looks so bland in black, I've got a macan turbo on order for the mrs early next year, be interesting to see if I prefer driving that to my Rs

Re: My ride for the weekend
Never say never. The new M3 is quite some car, makes the B8 feel slow, heavy and old. If buying brand new today then it would have to be the M3 all day long over the RS. 62k M3 vs 57k RS 4 (both with options and the relevant discount applied) leaves a 5k difference and the M3 is easily 5k better. I'd go RS personally but only because of the availability of a used car and someone else sucking up the initial depreciation for me.carsarecool wrote:If BM, Audi, Merc etc all produced cars which performed/handled the same we wouldn't have much choice for personal preferences.

I'm a parent, who indicates, and my son has on numerous occasions considered me a failure. Fact

Hence I'm the purchaser of an estate car ...
Thank god Audi make an RS4 in Avant form otherwise I might have been relegated to a Megane Estate or a Hyundai or or or even a BMW 320 Touring.

Has that got Silver Leather as well? Looks nearly identical to mine, very very nice.

I guess if it was proving too popular they figured they could make more money by sticking it on Audi exclusive. Suits the C7.
No matter where you go, there you are.
