My uncle just picked up a brand new RS4. I asked him if it was what he expected and this is what he had to say:[/align][/align]"More than expected. Literally "on rails", with excellent steering feel and control. I don't think you can exploit more than 6/10ths of it's handling capability on the street.Nothing I've thrown at it even comes close to engagingthe stability control system. It's just that good.[/align][/align]Seat-of-the-pants acceleration didn't feel much faster than my S4, likelybecause the motor isso smooth. But my son drove the RS4 home from the dealer, with me in the S4 behind him, and the RS4 easily walked away from the S4 in second gear.Jon said he was never at full throttle .... but I was. And it was still in break-in (5000 rpm max) at the time. Red line is 8300. [/align][/align]V8 sound if fun (it has an "S" button that opens up the exhaust), but it's not like the rumble of a Corvette, Camaro, or Mustang. It has much more mechanical noise in lower RPMs because of the sophisticated valvetrain, and likelyin part because it's new. Begin to open it up, though, and it's loud; no longer a stealthy sleeper like the S4 was when opened up. [/align][/align]It's the first time I took the back roads back from the shore since I had the motorcycle, and it was a grin the whole time!"[/align][/align]...i want one![/align]

 

PICS ! ! !

 

I was cruising one of the nice used car dealerships in cincy and they had a RS4 that was traded in!


WTF.... who would do such a thing?

Yeah, we want some pics, and a video!

 

[sm=jawdrop.gif] What were they thinking!?!?!?!?

 

^^lol probly got an rs6 or something

and +1 on the pics

 

Here is the bad part, its a subaru dealership, but they happen to buy a bunch of nice exotics because the area is nice.
They have some 911 turbos, bentlys, e55 amgs, some maseratis, and hummers. But if that person got a sti instead, i will kill them.

Not saying sti is bad, just wouldnt trade for a rs4.

i just cant beleive somebody wouldnt want to keep that car.

 

a subi dealership?!?[:'(][:'(]he musta got a 911 or something. no way he would dowgrade to a STI from an RS4. and if he would, he doesn't deserve the rs4 anyways. i hope he does a 6k clutch drop and blows up the tranny[:'(]

 

i agree. Lets hope he or she didnt actually get a sti. BTW, the rs4 was smokin hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Most likely a repo - couldn't afford payments - see about a dozen or so repo-men at my office a week

 

I would love to find an RS4 at auction, because of a repo.......Come to think of it I may start looking for a newer S4 that way I can get the car I really want and maybe save some coin.
