I had two RS5's (pre and post FL) so same engine as the RS4, it's not in the same league as the RS6!

Hi folks been on Rs4 forum side for good few years and always have quick look around here . not trying to hijack thread but thinking of chopping in my nogaro b8.5 Rs4 ! Seen a car not my ideal colour (misano ) but it's the right age , mileage , spec not deal breaker for me though has cameras tints high beam assist Matt ally pack sports exhaust and few other things ! Doesn't have drc not a major worry I don't think had 2 Rs4s ! And on 20's ! Like the look of 21"s but know there's issues with them ! It's 64 plate 15 though new but the new road tax scheme getting it outa my realms for circa 5k a yr use any feed back on how you feel about your misano choice or Air or anything else I should be looking for appreciated not a motorway user for any distance either
Thanks

Loads of good answers for you but at the end of the day it's what you want and can afford. I'm on my third 6. C5 C6 and now C7.
I need the space and love the massive option to up the power which you don't get with the 4.
I went PCP as I could never afford a car like the C7. I kept my monthly cost down by putting a large deposit down and increasing to four years not three. Like others have said I'm also looking forward to my next 6

My car is on a PCP but I've modified the hell out of it. It will be returned to stock when I hand it back. But honestly my dealer never even checks my car. They've even said mod it just don't tell me about it
Well a combo of that and being under warranty (don't fancy a £20k bill if the gearbox goes after a remap). Besides, getting away with modifying a PCP car might be easy enough, but it's also well outwith the conditions of your loan and should anything happen you might find your self in a lot of trouble legally and financially. Not worth the risk in my opinion.

Can't argue with you on any of that. But I never have been one to do as I'm told Image

Air is what it is comfortable when just pottering around cruising and relatively taught for when you get a move on but it does wallow when you begin to press hard.

But it suits my situation as 90% of my driving is on the motorway.
