Audi A4 RS4 (06-08)*****

Other Audi reviews
 

Running costs**---

The RS4 isn't a car you buy if you have one eye on running costs. As well as high fuel bills, insurance, servicing and any parts will all be expensive. When new it was competitively priced alongside the M3 with a price tag of more than £50,000. But it does come loaded with kit and of course, mind-blowing performance.


Servicing: Variable - according to on-board computer.

Warranty: Three years/60,000 miles.

Green credentials-----

The RS4’s 4.2-litre petrol engine returns just 20mpg on average, so it's no surprise that the model performs poorly on the eco front. It emits 329g/km CO2 which is very high compared to an average family car, but fairly standard compared to similar performance models. The only saving grace is that owners of these sorts of cars tend to do fewer miles per year than those that own average family cars.

The estimated fuel cost figure is designed to give you a rough idea of how much this model will cost to fuel each year, so you can compare between cars. It's calculated by using the combined drive cycle (town centre and motorway driving) and the average fuel price. It's based on the following cost-per-litre: petrol 112p, diesel 123p, and LPG 57p. Prices are updated annually.
