RS4 REJECTED

Post by MartynC » Thu Mar 16, 2006 8:52 pm

Couldn't beleive this but at the dealer in Derby there is a blue RS4 that has been rejected by the buyer due to..................................wait for it..................fuel consumption!!

Perhaps he should have bought a Micra or something. Strange thing is, he is apparently a local car dealer. Smell of rat or what?

I dont think "most" dealerships would accept a car being rejected due to poor mpg, unless there was a enine fault at it was doing 1-10mpg all the time etc?

Very strange indeedy?

A likely candidate for the impending RS TDI due to hit our shores oh say... late 2007/ early 2008?!?

Riz,

I don't think I would have the bottle to tell a dealer I was rejecting a car like the RS4 on the grounds of MPG, would expect to be laughed out of the dealership.....

You looking forward to getting your RS then? Silly question I know lol

Decided to wait and try and get an Avant in a year/year and a half!!
Cheers

Donnington demo car was doing single figure MPG but it was getting the milk sacks beat off it all day...........predicted mpg is high teens.......... what drugs is the guy/girl taking if they dont expect a 4 ltr V8 to be a bit juicy.......E55 usually sits 17-19 mpg with slightly heavy right foot

Yes deffo sticking with the RS4, Im so over the moon its amazing.... got over 700mb`s of video clips and tons of reviews to try and keep me calm but it isnt working :( Also keep going into have a look and a real one in the showrooms when passing...... its a long wait until September but I know it`ll be worth it... kept the spec the same (see "It`s Coming.....) post, just added the RS4 matt`s to my order....

Riz,

What is the general outcome of the reviews towards the RS? Most mag's seem to be very harsh in relation to performance Audi's IMHO.....

Well i`ve done one post... "AutoCar Test" etc which isnt a bad review at all.

I would say many reviews arent harsh at all and to summerise most of them say the following.

*best Audi made
*good all rounder
*one of the worlds greatest engines
*first class interior
*worth its £50k price tag
*still not as much feedback as the M3`s, but not totally numb either

There are so many reviews out there, most are positive with a handful giving negative or neutral ones....

I have seen the car in the flesh and fell in love with it the first time I saw it in Cardiff Audi.... been hooked since the topgear test too.

Im just a hardcore petrolhead.....

Agree with Riz, all the reviews say it is a major improvement for Audi.
