Top gear RS4 (B5) Review

Post by S4INT » Fri Apr 28, 2006 2:53 pm

Does anyone have a copy of the February 2006 issue of Top gear?

Apparently there was a good review of the RS4 in there?

Would anyone be prepared to scan the feature and post it here, or alternatively sell me their copy of the mag?? (Back issue not available) :o

Cheers,

Paul.

What did Tiff think 'cos i've got the two reviews that Evo did, first one loved the LH drive car but the second review did'nt rate it that much, which is surprising that it hold's such a unique position in the fast car world

Tiff loved the styling and the straight line performance but wasnt over impressed with the way it handled, called it "very safe" this is because he couldnt lose it on a corner although he tried very hard, but surely that's a good thing? This is not from the Top Gear magazine its the footage from the Top Gear program, about five minutes long.

No, not me! Will be the first time I have been there. Got a project in Chapelfield Plain, will be using the RS4 as a delivery van! :shock:
