I can't afford to get rid of it now.

I try and add a qualified subjective statement then....

I've driven a few big engined cars (TVR , Merc AMG), some fine handling cars (S2000, Impreza). .... and all i can say in comparison the RS4 does not feel that fast. However i am wrong as im keeping it because even with its tight 1K miles engine, in the real world it really is that quick. It hides the power too well and only the speedo tells me how quick it had suddenly become.

I guess rather than say its not that quick, you could actually say why does it not have that feel of a push in the back . My guess is the its delivery of power / torque hides it so smoothly.

Also on this power bhp number, i have given up on cars having a number as i was regulary disappointed i..e TVR 5.0 Grifftih quoted at 340bhp, delivering 286bhp.. I now just take all the info in drive the car and makes me decision.

So this car is luxury, and im looking forward to exploring how it develops ..and an ECU remap...

Dude, really, you make it far too easy for me to give you a hard time..... At least try and keep a coherent story with at least a little bit of continuity..... remember all of your old posts are still there...

[RussianM3_dude]

It's the same story. I got a lease on it as a company car. If I get rid of it, I would have to compensate the company the downpayment which is pretty large and then get a downpayment on another car. It's that simple. I am stuck with the car for 36 months or 35,000 kms. Thankfully I am putting a lot of mileage on the car.

[rs4v8]

Ah, right then, as I mentioned before, you really make it too easy for me!

If the above is to believed - Correct me if i'm wrong (and I'll find the post to prove i'm not) did you not say you were going to get a new M3 when it came out. Here's a secret for you - its out now! So by my reckoning you were talking p@sh then too.....

Thanks Kurgen,

Hey everybody. Just got my first Audi about a month ago. It's Daytona Grey, 19s, Recaros, sunroof, Nav, TV, Btooth etc.

Will probably try to swap it for the new M3 though when it comes out.

When are you getting the M3 thenRussianM3_Dude?? at you!

[KurgenRS4]

It's probably his Dad's RS4, hence all the sniping. Wonder if his dad knows he's spending time on car forums, instead of doing his homework!! lol

[rs4v8]

he's deffo in need of some tuition cos he's clearly not too bright!!

ChrisRS4, never driven an S3 do you think it'll be quicker cross country?

A standard S3 wouldn't stand a chance. Luckily mine isn't standard

Cross country there wouldn't be much in it. My S3 would be quicker through the corners, but my RS4 would eat it on the straights.
