Stumbled across this old video (2011). Surprised it was a review I've not seen before.

Although a good watch, am I the only 1 that found it extremely bias?

I know that we're all proud of our cars and like to hear that it's the best thing since sliced bread but.......

In my opinion they tested the car in all of its wrong areas and to compare it to cars like evos was ridiculous. Where the rs4 excels is the fact that it is quite fast but yet it's comfy and you can chuck the family and dog in the back.

Just a few weeks ago I decided to do a bit of testing in my evo and take the rs for a few laps to put it through its paces......I'm now seriously considering selling and buying an evo 9 gt wagon.

The rs4, although fast, just isn't that fast. Audi ruined the fun factor with a ridiculously high top speed. You can almost fall asleep between gear changes and the dbw is far to slow to respond (vag trying to force consumers to buy more expensive dsg boxes maybe?).
