Default Thinking about getting back into the Audi family w/an 07 RS4, daily driver any reason not to

So been a member of the forum for quite some time but have been away for a number of years...have owned 10+ audi's but have not had one in the garage for a couple years now...been playing around with BMW,MBZ etc...thinking that a used 07 RS4 might be a good choice for a point of re-entry into the audi family-it'll be a daily driver for me-granted im posting this in the Rs4 forum so I imagine most will respond with "go for it" but is there anything in particular I should avoid and/or seek out as I go on my used car search

TIA

Avoid pushing gas pedal.

Default If you have to deal with a lot of traffic don't get the RS4......

It is a tricky car to launch slowly and smoothly, even for experienced drivers. It has so much power and love to rev up so quickly. If you frequently deal with a lot of stop and go, I wouldn't get this car

Default Disagree...I don't find it to be any different than any manual transmission....

than I've had in the past (this is #6) once u get used to it. Maybe, of course, I'm an excellent driver, but I seriously doubt it. Of course Chicago-like rush hour will still suck donkey ***** as it always has in a stick.

2nd, I don't find it difficult to drive slowly or smoothly, not any worse than other manuals.

Default OK decided-going with an S4 vs the RS4...makes more sense for me at this time

kicked it around drove both- RS4 f*cking rocks however the auto and something a bit more low key makes more sense for me right now-thanks for the input I'll still visit here
