Moving from a B7 RS4

Post by RichT128 » Sat Jun 18, 2016 10:46 pm

Has anyone moved over from a B7 RS4? How did you find it? Considering a move, have had a test drive, interested to see how people who've lived with it for longer have found it.

I came from a supercharged RS4, and I'm 99% sure I wouldn't go back. Quite different cars though, the 6 is much more of a cruiser and obviously a 'newer' place to spend time. Where the RS4 was quite brutal and could manage long trips too, the balance is the other way round with this car where it prefers to be on motorways etc, but can be chucked around a not-too-tight back road when you fancy it.

I love the RS6. Not sure if it is just because it's new and different.
As martay says, they are very different, the 4 loves a roundabout / corner but seems slow on the straights in comparison. Both have amazing road presence and have the muscular stance that I love. And the 6 gets just as much admiration as the 4, actually I think the 6 gets more; I've lost count the number of people I've seen take photos of it, even this morning in kwik fit (went for a hunter alignment but got turned away) the guys working here came and asked me if they could take some photos. If you want a sleeper car, this is not it. The power is immense and makes up for its lack of cornering ability.

FYI, I still have both cars. I was driving both today and the 4 is still fun to drive but I have no regrets getting the 6.
