Audi RS4 Avant

My new daily drive.

Only a few days in but drive from UK to Switzerland was a breeze. Car has huge power, fabulous exhaust, handles well, steering a bit wooden but overall sweet.

Still got the 599 and Maser Gran Cabrio Sport.

I think the 3 make a great team

That's a little... Subtle don't you think?

Edit: That's a lovely house, yours I assume? Very nice!

For a daily drive, subtle is good

It still has a 444BHP V8 under the bonnet

So badly epic, I guess Nath hates it seeing as VAGs are snorefests

Aye I hear you, subtle but really goes when you put your foot down. Not sure on those alloys though. I also just realised that place is a pub.

It's a hotel near Epernay, France.

Do like the RS4, had some very memorable drives in one. It's an interesting car. Did you go for the Dynamic Steering option?

glenimp617 · 22 Aug 2013 at 22:35

ok....I know I've had a few vodkas

but it looks to me like the steering wheel is on the wrong side, but UK number plates

Must be my eyes

No I didn't. Heard bad things about it.

Finally, a car that actually pulls those wheels off. Looks really rather good.

Oh crikey, those front calipers - huuuuge! Are those ceramic front discs I spy, or is that a trick of the light?

Yes, ceramics on front which is the only brake upgrade option.

I do miss mine, good car the RS4 but must say this one left me bemused after I test drove it. Very very rapid and it will cover ground like little else but didn't like the gearbox and you are right about the dynamic steering it's not worth the effort. Perfect for the bad winters though, proper epic in snow even with normal tyres. Enjoy.

Love the engine picture, it's refreshing to see a modern cars engine not hidden by plastic covers and a very nice engine it is.

NathWraith · 22 Aug 2013 at 22:41

Haha paradigm this has a real engine.

Spie · 22 Aug 2013 at 22:41

Yeah Housey, I need 4WD so exciting and practical options limited. I think this is a good compromise overall.

Housey · 22 Aug 2013 at 22:44

Cracking engine, hope they have sorted the coking issues now.
