Audi A4 RS4 (05-08) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 21 February 2006 Last Updated: 16 January 2009 Available as a saloon, estate and convertible, Audi's ultimate A4, the RS4, is powered by a huge 4.2-litre V8 engine with a whopping 414bhp. This gives it a 0-60mph time of less than five seconds and allied to a howling soundtrack from the FSI engine and four exhaust pipes, it makes driving one an intoxicating experience. The RS models have long had a cult following and this one is no exception. It's not cheap to buy or run, but if you want a less brash and overt alternative to the BMW M3, look no further. 5 out of 5 Other Audi reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery Also Consider 5 out of 5 BMW 3-Series M3 (07 on) Ultimate driver's car, purposeful styling, sublime V8 engine, standard leather and sat nav High running costs, hard ride, fairly plain cabin Read full review 4.5 out of 5 Mercedes-Benz C-Class AMG (08-11) Storming performance, wonderful engine, understated looks, forgiving ride High running costs, incredibly thirsty, almost too fast to appreciate on public roads Read full review 4 out of 5 Lexus IS F (08 on) Astonishing pace, great V8 soundtrack, plenty of standard kit Doesn't look particularly aggressive, hard ride, not involving enough Read full review Find other saloon cars Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
