Finally - My CSL Replacement

After a few months, and some messing about I ended with the following toy.

(Ran for 6 months now sold Feb 2017

)

As the RS4 Has now gone, this has been upgraded to the "Nice" car.

An old 2003 Turbo bodied C4S - Bought as the daily driver, whilst I have a short commute. 26MPG so near the same as the old CSL.
Not quite as mad as the CSL, but still has the presence, cant believe that I have again ended up with a black car!!!

EDIT- AUG 2018 - Now Sold.

Congrats jonny

I have a bit of a soft spot for old audis, while lacking behind on the driving dynamics but they are very reliable. Love your RS4.

Both are great Cars, But wouldn't the RS4 make for a better daily than the 911?

cheers.
I know what you mean, the M3 chassis is one of the best in the world, so the RS can't compete for giving feedback, but in its defence, the Bi-turbo makes up for it, and with the Quattro 4x4 its well planted when nailing it.

The RS4 is a bit full on for everyday, and 20 MPG, mileage again pays a big factor, and keeping it lower is important. The estate is only needed for taking the dogs, and finally I'm not a fan of manuals, but its only option with this car.

The C4S is more docile, auto and smooth as a silk, and purrs like a happy cat, unless you really give it the gas, and gives good mpg for a 3.6 auto 4x4, I get 26.5 MPG on average, so that's same as my old M3 CSL.

Has a B5 RS4 for a few years in Avus as well.
Hitec interior? That's better than the leather.
Tuned mine up a but to c510bhp/ft lbs. Was a bit rapid.
