Finally drove an RS4 today... I must say I am impressed
A friend of mine has it for sale and let me test drive it. The car is fast sure footed and very comfortable. I could not get over how well the car handled the rough colorado roads while still riding fairly flat. My car feels like a bob cat compared to an RS4! The car sounded awesome, it had milltek valved exhaust, which you could barely tell the difference between the Smode on or off. The car is fast, I did not push it anywhere close to its limits, but could tell its definately a drivers car. It definately makes a better daily driver than a 7 year old B5 S4. I am still not sure I want to drive a 70+k car as a daily driver, but this car sure has me tempted. And yes... I still wish it had turbos.

And you cannot sell it for anywhere near it's worth...
and that was what pushed me to spring for the RS4. You can buy a used S4 and hop it up to RS4 levels, but in the end you just have a modded S4. Not that this is a bad thing, it's just the reality of mods. You have to be willing to pay the price. (the mod bug is tough to fight).
Of course, for 99% of people, the stock S4 offers all you would ever need.

parking lots, pot holes, semis, soccer moms
to name a few. Nothing BAD about the car... just that it's almost TOO nice to risk getting a scratch/dent/bent rim.
That's how I see it anyway. My car's nowhere near as nice as a B7 RS4, but I still cringe every time I hear a rock hit the windshield/hood/bumper.

You DO want to drive an RS4 as a daily driver, you'll want to drive it all the time.
Plus you'll lose weight when you park far away from the soccer moms at the mall and walk that extra distance. Think of all the health benefits. More exercise and less money to spend on other bad habits.
