After reading a few threads on here about the acceleration / speed of our beloved RS4's I'd just like to stay I took mine out for a really good blast last night and OMG its quick!
It has just covered 3K miles and it was one of the first times i had an empty country road with no family and a warm car!
Its going in for a re-map and Miltek in the next few weeks so it can only get better!
How can anyone doubt the performance of this 5 seat estate car?? IMHO I could not handle a faster car on the sort of road i was on. Having had very fast cars in the past I am either getting old or this car is seriously quick and best of all the V8 noise!
So glad I went for adaptive headlights!
All I can say is

At last!! Well said my friend, I too went for a proper blast the other evening after unnng her in like a nun !!

She's like a true great and special all-rounder, it comes to life in the high rev range and just keeps pulling! Then you all know this and as for the handling well..... I’ve been fortunate to have driven some quick (but affordable every day) cars in the past including a much loved remapped B5 (previous) bless her and this is so much more in every way. I can’t really still get my head around some of the previous posts about it being slower but put it down to hand brakes being applied and, mechanical or driver problems (such as failure to find start button or perhaps getting in the wrong car! Apparently in Switzerland there’s even a 4 cylinder version!! Long may she reign and god bless all those who ride in her !!
