Re: RS4 or new Golf R

Even with out all these tune's/ superchargers.... The car is Fast enough Stock .... There are lots of very Low KM 2008 Rs4 in the US i found 2 today, one was 43K 12,000 miles still under warranty.. plus you can get the additional warranty in canada for 2400 ish... There are good deals out there just need to work to find it... :-(

I know there are deals however this $43K USD RS4 will be close to $50K CDN once all is said and done. Out of my price range.

That used S4 avant is actually pretty sweet as is, not a toy car at all, and save yourself some money.

Agreed. Plus with the wagon you get the obvious benefits of increased utility and stealthy cool (you can hear the exhaust inside the car better too).

As much as the RS4 is an awesome car I think the S4 is a great car too. In reality it is plenty fast and it handles great, sounds wicked and is well apointed. Overall it is most of what makes an RS4 great for much less $$.

Re: RS4 or new Golf R

no i know 50k is hard to swallow when a b8 s4 is slightly over that..

i think you'll have a hard time finding one in canada for under 35.. i dont' think theyd be under 35 in 2-3 years even.. but who knows

Re: RS4 or new Golf R

Just a quick note regarding the comments about magnetic suspesnsion issues. The RS4 doesn't have the magnetic suspension. It had the DRC which was a hydraulic system. The issue was that the shocks would tend to develop a leak. Audi issued a recall and replaced it with updated parts. It seems that owners who have had the recall done haven't been experiencing problems anymore.

Get the RS4 and take it for a roadtrip down the Pacific Coast. I got back recently from a 2 week trip down the coast and I would have to say its a drive every car enthusiast should do.

No, I actually live up in what most people call the hood in NE Calgary.

No problem Ryan. Ya I've been pretty busy the last 18 months and not much time for "car stuff" lately.

I wish there was one at a dealer nearby, I'd go test drive one to compare and contrast... On second thought that could be a bad idea that would just lead a new and costly obsession..
