Audi A4 RS4 (2005 - 2008) 4.2 FSI quattro 4d saloon (2007/07) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

It says you enjoy yourself, like to stand out without shouting about it and aren't scared of taking risks.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They all think its quality.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Definitely, If money was no object i'd find the lowest mileage B7 RS4 Saloon in Britain, buy it and keep it as a daily driver forever.. Stylish design, family comfort, 420BHP and a V8 soundtrack means you've constantly got a smile on your face whenever your in the car. What's not to like?

What are you likely to buy next?

Who knows, It'll depend on my circumstances when i eventually decide to buy something different.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£18,000

When did you buy the car?

November 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

I negotiated hard knowing that these type of cars have a limited target market (with fuel prices and tax ever increasing) so i managed to get £1,000 knocked off in the end.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I wanted something with awesome performance but approaching my thirties i thought the Subaru Impreza/ Mitsubishi Evo's type cars were a bit boy racerish and I wanted something with style and class as well... with the RS4 you get both.

What was the dealer like?

Excellent, very helpful. The clutch went literally 2 days after I bought the car. I rang them up and they arranged for it to be transported back to them for replaced straight away. I got the car back a week later with a brand new clutch and flywheel free of charge, no hassle whatsoever.

What's it like to drive?

In a word, excellent. Doesn't matter if your cruising on the motorway, nipping to the shops or tearing up the back roads, this this sounds awesome and performs perfectly every time.

What's it like to park?

Easy, just make sure you're careful not to curb those alloys.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Yeah I had to replace the DRC suspension which was pretty costly as the pressure can only be calibrated by an Audi main dealer.

What's most practical about your car?

Quite a bit for a performance car to be honest... 4 doors, big boot, big brakes, good handling etc Its just as suitable being used as a family car as it is being used down at Croft race circuit.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I had the swivel lights on mine which we're pretty decent as i live in the countryside. This made driving quickly on country roads safer and more fun. I had the black optics pack as well which makes the car look pretty cool.
