Default Any differences in 2007 versus 2008

Found 2 used RS4, one is 2007 with 6000 miles and one is 2008 with 10,000 miles. 2007 is cheaper, I have only driven 2008, are there any differences????

Default Those are on most of the '07s too. It was just the first few months of '07 that didn't have them.

I think the only difference between '07 & '08 is the availability of the Ti and Exclusive packages in '08.

I think they redesigned the driver's side under seat cubbyhole. Big change, eh?

Default There was a slight change in the instrument cluster, but no one can confirm from which prod date it

became effective.

There is a "1/2" numeric marker in the middle of the fuel gage, ditto for the coolant temps (vs. a bigger dash and no numeric symbol to designate the middle section on most RS4s).

I thought it was on early RS4s, but there are people with early RS4s that don't have the numeric markers, and people with late models that have it. Maybe it was different supplier or something???

If you look at the Euro RS4 brochure, you will see what I mean.
