How was the RS4 when not worrying about space? I know they're very very quick, but was it at all numb? That's one of the complaints I hear about Audis in general
Without wanting to derail this thread and upset the anti 'quote post' brigade, it was a weapon. A fantastically smooth engine which was effortless in every situation and was/is the perfect engine for the 7 speed DSG to show iff its talents. The press moaned about the lack of low down grunt, but in reality that's bollocks. It's linear power that revved high and took you to warp speeds effortlessly. I specced mine with the sports pack, so it had the DRC, exhaust and bigger wheels, which really made the car more compliant and feedback was enhanced. It's a heavy car though, and you felt that. Not a track weapon, but more of a smaller & nimbler battle cruiser. All RS's suffer from a lack of feedback, but for it's purpose huge amounts of feedback wasn't needed (especially if you switched off the dynamic steering), it was a load lugger and point & shoot battler. Mpg was a killer around town (circa 15), but on the motorway it would return 25-30 all day long. I do miss it, but only for the noise the engine made.
