What do you hate about the RS 4....(bit of fun!)

[Wallachie]

The tarnished aluminium trims.

My trims aren't too bad, but a friend recommended using Naviwax on them, and it works a treat! Great wax for everywhere really.

[TerryN]

The fact that the 'brushed aluminium' wing mirror covers are painted.

Mine got hit by crap from a lorry and now look like they have two bullet holes in.

Nothing that hasn't already been said really; fuel flap thing/ poor sat nav/centre armrest; all extremely minor points against the greatness of the car overall. Awesome machine all round

[sakimano]

Only one thing

The intense amount of heat that comes through the engine bay, through the firewall and into the footwell on hot days.

I swear I could warm up my lunch with the heat. I have to put the air conditioning on low, using the bottom vents to alleviate it.

[sakimano]

Tune and exhaust cars pick up plenty of performance over standard. Unfortunately most tunes and exhausts do SFA, so people like you make comments like you just did.

Here's a car with a tune, gutted precats, and a few lightweight parts vs my very healthy stock rs4 + one 150 lb passenger.

I also hate the sat-nav but has anyone found out that the Google maps app on your phone will act as audible sat-nav through Bluetooth. I only found that out last week. Brilliant.

I found this out purely by mistake.
As everyone knows, the sat-nav takes an age to setup, so i typed in the address on my Google maps app on my phone before i left home. Started the route thing and went out to the car. The phone is obviously connected to the car by Bluetooth for calls. Then all of a sudden the direction started coming through the car speakers instead of the phone. I was well amazed

What model phone is it?

[nial335]

The wheels. Look nice but develop a film of brake dust in no time and they're a pain to clean. Also getting in and out without trying to rub the seat bolsters every time.

[Robnic]

The gearknob top looks like it cost about 12p

no storage space or cubbies... I know but I need a personal hole to put keys, phones, ipad when I get in the car.

Do the armrests act as storage cubby's ? If so can you retrofit them?

yeah but still won't play music through speakers.. don't get why it plays google nav, Siri, but nothing else??

[Rick_RS4]

only 1 cup holder and that covers the nav screen slightly

and the main thing it doesnt have advertised bhp


all this in mind i love it to bits

[sakimano]

The north American centre console is probably a good solution for some of you

1. 2 cup holders that act as a cubby hole when not in use
2. Armrest that includes a storage space inaide
3. No silly start button (which is useless because you still have to put the key in the ignition anyway)

iPhone 5 mate.

RS4eddie,

I never thought about the music part and never knew about Siri. Don't use it because it doesn't understand Scottish!!!
