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.

I had mine for 15 years, nearly to the day. Still looked amazing on the day I sold it. The new owner was thrilled.

An absolute beauty. I fell in love with this car over 10 years ago and I'm still smitten.

Loved my B7 RS4. Had it for 3 years without a single issue. Not even a dreaded shock/DRC failure! I have the B8 RS4 now (and a R8 V10+). I do miss the B7 for its manual gearbox and steering,

Remember when performance Audis came with a manual transmission? :(

My Dad bought his 06 from new, has a number of classic cars ('69 E type FHC, Triumph Stag, Triumph TR4, Austin 3000) and would part with any of those before the RS4. Still get people coming up in the petrol station and outside pubs saying how much they love the thing.

My mate bought a black edition thingy one a few months ago, it's an 07 but only done 40k. It's stunning. It's totally standard too, not even silly air filters fitted 😂 He's keeping it that way

In 2006 I had a b7 s4 and an e46 M3. I sold them both in hopes of getting an rs4. Never happened though and this video breaks my heart all over again

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! Subscribe to my channel for more RS4 videos

My mate had one of these in that colour, when they came out! Its just an amazing car. Plenty of power and looks cool!

This was and still is the best option for raw german muscle. One of My favorite Audis aswell

A true great amongst cars, I have been hooked on various RS models ever since.

I’m not an Audi fan, but you can’t dislike these!

The proportions are just perfect, looks aggressive and subtle at the same time.

I love this car... It was my favorite car in the original Test Drive Unlimited pc game from 2006... I absolutely adore it's looks especially in that gorgeous colour! Performance Audis should preferably be ordered in blue! I also adore the classic interior... Though I wouldn't wanna go through the hassle of owning one as they're quite expensive to maintain...

I had 2 S4s that were terrific cars. I drove them year round through the winter with winter tires on of course. I put over 200,000 km on both cars in 3 years, Again terrific cars. Cheers mate!

My love of Audi’s started with a B7 S4 Cabriolet One of the best all round cars I’ve owned. It also had a Miltek cat back exhaust and sounded great Did a great job of getting a family of four to the South of France and back. Amazing how much wine will go in the boot of a cabriolet! That car did manage 30mpg Just

Just parked our one owner example in the garage. I feel exactly as you do although after refreshing the suspension last year it doesn't need coil overs anymore. I love the fact no one except gear heads know what it is, the fact that is has a 6 speed and 400 odd Hp, and is a very engaging road car, who cares about its track performance. Love your reviews.

I love the B5 S4 and the B7s as well. First thing people complain about is steering. Sure if you don’t know how to load the front axle before a highspeed turn, you’ll push through, but I love the handling characteristics on the street.

S4/RS4 is what I have always wanted, too many kids and too much mileage for work mean I can’t have one as a daily. Once a 3rd car is on the cards it will be one of these. Thanks for featuring this one (again). 👌 ps Can’t wait for the vid with the owner, I’ll be very interested in what the ownership experience has been like.

Still my favourite RS4... n that's a beautiful example.. I had a b7 A4 n still think it was one of the best cars I've had... now moved on to an A6... but will always miss my faithful A4

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!

My favorite car channel

These are lovely things. I was looking at these and E90 M3s when I was in the market for a fast, capable saloon.I went for the E90 in the end as it just seemed that bit sharper and more driver oriented. Also the E90 is pretty much identical to the E92 underneath so if I wanted to modify my E90 for the track (which I since have) there was just a bit more out there in terms of options. I still really like the B7 though!

@kristianspencer1978

4 жыл бұрын

Also the e90 m3 is as rare as hens teeth. A bit like the e90 335 msport, both excellent cars.

Probably mine at the time, too, ive never driven an r8 but imagine it'd be as fun, faster, more sporting etc. The C63 won me over in the end because 6.2 litre engine and tunability of the n/a to 560 without supercharging.

Had an Audi S4 in Sprint Blue, just like that RS4. Was pricey to keep on the road, but really enjoyable to own and drive. Just sold it last yr after 10 yrs of ownership, replacing it with a 2018 911.

Iv been driving mine for a few weeks now and I’m really enjoying it, one thing I noticed you say is that the clutch can be a bit jerky. I find that at low speed it’s a bit on/off and you have to balance the throttle a bit to get a smooth change… is that what you meant?

I own one identical to this with 55k on it, I used to work for audi so with the help of a former colleague and many hours in a nice shed mine is now well up to scratch. 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.

Please review a W203 C Class soon. Great value car atm!!

I know I'm a year late but I'm doing walnut blasting on these V8s for £400 in Southampton.

Handles nicely but never felt anything like the quoted power when wrung out, I'm talking about a 6 month old one I tried too, would actually like the 2.7 V6 TT B5 engine or similar in this car, it would go like the clappers!

Still my favourite RS model

The steering feel is adjustable if you have VCDS or similar.

This b7 and e90 m3 were the best of their generation. Now both super rare not many on the roads and very modern yet classic and the interior in both is still brand new.

What a car... Ultimate sleeper cruiser when you have one in black.

An Audi S4 B5 with a VR6 turbo swap along with an Audi R8 4.2 turbo Manual would be the dream team for me the RS4 B7 Avant and the new Audi RS7 C8 are great and practical

I had one of these in 2009 for 2.5yrs. They sound so good and the build quality was fabulous but it did suffer with the DRC (suspension issues) and I had to folk out almost £1200 for front brakes and discs (they eat discs every other set of pads). I do miss it but I eventually wanted something that handled better so I went for a new 2012 M3 Comp Pack. Wasn’t as nice inside but I did smile a lot more whilst driving it. If I’d had kept the RS long term I would have looked into aftermarket suspension and discs but life is short and there’s too many nice cars to have. They still look very nice and have aged well in my opinion. Have since had a new M4 (not great) 2010 997.2 GT3 (amazing) and now a 2019 C4 GTS (nice compromise).

My last OEM rotors were backordered for 6 months. I gave up and got after-market.

why not test functionality on the car? how good is the air con? sound/heat insulation? 30-70 mph acceleration? how good are the standard brakes?

B7 RS4s are great for when you want to drive up to 7 or 8 tenths on public roads in comfort and with added practicality if you get the Avant model. E9x generation M3s are more capable on the track with the superior weight distribution and lighter weight. Both may have 4 doors and have a V8 revving over 8000rpm, but they appeal to slightly different audiences and/or intended for slightly different purposes. Both are great cars in their own right. Highly recommend the Eventuri Carbon plenum for the E9x M3 for even more intensive E46 CSL-style induction noise, giving that intensive DTM vibe that those high revving V8s are reminiscing.
