    Still a fantastic looking car. Really shows current RS products up for being far too overstyled. This was just right, much like the E46 M3. Restrained brilliance. They are all trying too hard these days styling wise.

      Definitely agree. All of the germans used to take the wolf in sheeps clothing approach. Here's why they don't.
      The big three Germans all brought out their hot versions and in some cases you'd have look twice to recognise it. A lot of people wanted, but can't afford to buy and/or run it. The manufacturers therefore brought out AMG Line, RS Line and M Sport Line for them to pretend in instead.
      These were too similar to the spicy models so they just had to get more aggressive with them.
      A bit lower, fat arches and tyres and one or two trinkets, and you're set.

    Rs4 is a great car! I have mine for 2 years and I love it.You can’t compare E92 M3 with RS4, B7 platform is small and the V8 engine is huge so the engine is as front as possible to have the AWD front diff . It also have drivetrain lose compared to M3 because of the AWD system .RS4 maintenance ain’t cheap because you need 9 liters of oil and you need to change oils every 5.000 km because it’s a high reving engine 8250rpm. Long life service is bullshit because this is a high performance engine . It needs carbon clean , DRC suspension line fail and lost the suspension oils and if a shock fails the oem ones are expensive af.
    Drivetrain reliability is great I’ve launch my RS4 more than 30 times without a single problem. Engine is reliable but the only problems are sensors and oil leaks. I do the labor myself and it’s still not cheap. It’s not as fast for a V8 and it lacks from torque because it’s a high reving engine and has a torque limiter in first 3 gears and open the throttle body progressively not WOT! This can be solved with a remap which turn off the limiter.Hope this can help if you are a future RS4 owner!

    The RS4 slays both E46 and E90 M3 as a street car. I have owned RS4 and E90 and it’s no comparison. Audi wins in:
    -power band. RS4 actually has mid range torque. M3 has none.
    -Gear box. RS4 is one of the best ever. M3 is notchy and really bad.
    -Steering. No comparison. M3 steering is numb.
    -Brakes. RS4 has Gallardo brakes. M3 brakes suck.
    -Styling. RS4 is classy and muscular. M3 is boy racer with hood buldge, fake vents.
    -Exhaust. RS4 sounds unreal. M3 sounds great if you really wind it out.
    -Suspension, Audi RS4 delivers perfect ride/handling compromise. M3 ride too harsh on 19s.

      @@mercboiuk I would greatly argue that. I have watched over 2 dozen B7 Rs4 reviews in the last month alone, as I am looking at buying 1, and unless the heads are carbon blocked, they all run similar numbers, and not once has one person, at any stage in any video stated with proof that these figure as corrected for drive train loss, which being a mechanic myself, with over 20 years experience, is actually extremely hard to do due to a number of parameters ranging from altitude, air density, moisture saturation, tyre grip/slip, clutch grip/slip, mechanical faults, fuel quality, how well the vehicle is strapped down, just to name a few. Also, having owned a number of modified vehicles with sub 5-4.5 second 0-100kmph times 360whp to 400whp is pretty in the ball park and goes to show through my extensive experience that the engine hp numbers are higher. Typically, AWD system manual driveline loss is around 20%, but, even that varies up or down 5% due to the component weight and strain, and variations I labelled before. Going with 20% I feel the engine would be around the 450hp-460hp mark, which would infact be around the numbers it needs to achieve the claimed top speed of 175mph to offset the downforce resistance with its weight and drag numbers.

      Any real petrolhead who has some interest in track or aggresive driving will take bmw anytime. Mostly all audi lovers and die hard fans are amateur car enthusiasts. If someone starts with the question how fast your car goes from 0 to 60, so you know its the type 2. If you want to good cornering car what it really matters is rwd, weight of the car, suspension setup, brakes, weight distribution, alignment, tires and then only all other factors like engine power and etc, which in real world should not bower anyone with their first steps in the car world, because one will not be able to unleash full potentional of Audi rs4 or E92 m3 engine power. This rs4 is good road car, but it does not deliver in all other aspects to make it fast car in the corners like bmw does.

      I think we misunderstand each other haha. I also stated that the average is way less then the in the video acclaimed average of 26m per gallon/11 km per litre.
      But for me it would be worth the money. Life is short, so buy and drive the car you love!
      So your 18 miles per galon is right!

      The 26mpg figure was achieved for my gentle journey to meet with Jayemm and then to the shoot location.
      Usually, I can drive 280 miles per tank, which equates to approximately 20.5mpg, more in line with what Audi quote ;)

      Well, yes and no. Germans specify 100k miles as the lifetime of a car in their engineering. So when they say something is "sealed for life", it means "at least 100k miles without service/replacement". It is also reason why German cars in general get really expensive to keep after 100k miles, as you will need to start replacing (a lot of) parts.

    A fantastic review of a truly fantastic car! These crazy rapid RS Audi's are the only sensible option for British roads. Road testers would always put the BMW ahead on feel, fun and track performance. But as you so rightly said, we don't live on a racetrack, we live and drive on roads that are the majority of the time either soaking wet or damp (good old British weather haha!) In a AWD beast like this you would still be making very rapid progress while the M3/4 or AMG would be sliding all over the place a long way behind in your rear view mirror!

    Love this car. As a BMW owner many times over, if I were to buy a V-8 German sports sedan, this would be high on the list. The sound is unparalleled. The greatest complaint would be the handling; this car is just too weighty and nose heavy. A few laps into a DE class on track and you're ready to pit to cool off the front parts, or trade it in on something more track happy (like any 3 series). Of course it chews through front dampers - and brake pads/rotors, which you did not mention - with all that weight up there. Seriously who puts a massive engine like that ahead of the front axles?! But this is still quite a special model. One can easily overlook its shortcomings.

It’s a phenomenal car, with a valved milltek exhaust it sounds amazing. There are cars out there for £10k but most have terrible history, stay well away as spending £10k putting a bad one right is easier than you’d think! Standard drc suspension can be unreliable but without sport plus suspension it’s got a really good ride comfort. These are iconic cars and I constantly get nice comments about it. Plus they are very nickable so beware of house burglary to steal the keys. Best car I’ve ever and probably will ever own.
