deanos3 Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Writers block. It's a funny thing isn't it? You have your dream car for 4 nights, you can't stop driving it, nor talking to your mates about it. Then you come to write down your thoughts about it and.......well, nothing! I was never that great with words so I'll just do a list of goods and bads..... Bad first... <ul type="square"> Looks 8 years old Drives like its 8 years old Not hard to unsettle on twisty B roads (nothing that new shocks could sort out) Doesn't sound great out of the box Recaro's sit too high (just like an S3 of that era) I don't own one! Now the good <ul type="square"> Looks, just look at it grrrrrrr So very, very fast, feels a lot faster than the B7 thanks to the bi-turbo Respect - I've not known anything like it, every petrol head would nod or wave, I even got a flash of the lights from an M3 It's an avant, very understated, although the 'look at me' red paint helps it stand out. Practical too! Handling - Generally very good, steering is direct, understeers when pushed, steering feel like all Audi's of this generation is lacking, suspension is stiff but supple. Like I said earlier, it can be unsettled over B roads, nothing that some money could sort out though. Overall - Bloody brilliant. It really is a special car, I've driven a lot of cars before and none of them have made me feel this way about a car. If your looking for a fast, practical, unique & fairly rare car, the RS4 is the answer. And now that you can pick them up for as little as 17k, they are quite the bargain!

Chrisg Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Had a ride in Bushy's back in 2001 (?) quickest thing I've ever been in, other than in the air ! Would I buy one - no I'd rather have a B5 S4, more subtle and in all honesty probably as fast as you need, miss my S3 for that mid range grunt, my current quattro T Sport 190 just isn't the same ! I should probably have chipped it from the outset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 B5's were magic, and in my book still are. They look the business and go like muck off a shovel. Examples around now days seem to be well looked after, in fact, a mate has one and it can only be described as immaculate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biscuits Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I'm looking out for a B5 S4 Saloon or Avant as a daily driver... plenty around, but the few I've seen in the flesh had been distastefully played with. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizze Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Awesome car! I really do love them, in some ways I prefer it to the B7, a true classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHA Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Yes, there were 4 of us in it I think, not that it seemed to make any difference to the acceleration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just noticed the colours are all over the place if your not using a colour profile managed browser (internet explorer), sorry, the photo's look very dark and a tad on the green side. I'll get it fixed soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
