Positive Review
I have driven my RS4 90,000 miles. In that amount of time, I became very familiar with my car. The RS4 has had a few minor gliches along the way, one just recently corrected with the engine needing a new Intake Manifold. I bought the extended warranty and most was covered. The engine uses oil. The same engine in the R8 also uses oil. You can expect to add a quart about every 7 to 8K miles. For a high reving normally aspirated engine, I feel that is no big deal. The Quattro has been wonderful, in any weather the car tracks straight and tru. I have switched to All season sport tires to make it a machine for ice and snow. The famous Audi interior is still as sharp today as when it was new. The cornering and acceleration as with all the mechanics are now back to 100%. I've replaced the exhaust with a full Milltek custom sport exhaust system that has no resonators but does have the Sport Valves like the OEM system. Along with a Level II Revo Sport ECU computer upgrade, the car now pulls somewhere above 450 to 460 HP. The power band seems endless and the 8400RPM redline is incredible. I would say my car could easily pass the 160 MPH mark and could easily reach a 180 MPH top speed. I've had it since it was new, and it still turns heads, and it's still just as fun to drive now as it was when I picked it up. Audi is reaching their stride in the quality and performance of their cars. My next car will be another Product of Audi GmbH, the RS5. That will sit in the garage next to my 5.2L V-10 R8. So many cars and so little garage space!

I've owned the rs4 for about 5 years now second owner and mine is APR supercharged. absolutely brutal acceleration. close to 600hp throwing you into the seats whenever you step on it. It has been a tank reliability wise. which is extremely impressive considering its been modified well over the factory hp. only a few small things have worn out but was able to repair in less than a day. but to be expected for a car that's 13 years old. but the biggest thing is this car has never left me stranded. It just never stops running no matter how hard I drive it. The BNS block is just made so well compared to older 4.2 generation V8's. I also have Air ride on mine now so it feels like riding on pillows.
FUN
Cost of ownership
Very enjoyable to drive great handling. Just love being in the car.
High performance
none
This is an incredible automobile. Detail is fantastic, performance is out of this world fast, and just a great all around auto. Would not take a penny under $50,000 USD for the car.
sound, looks, feel, drive, handling :)
gps
only bad thing about the car is the GPS that audi used for a couple of years
Engine, sound, 4 wheel drive
Gas mileage, rear seat room
I wish I could keep it forever, but at some point, the maintenance will likely get ugly. Overall, this car is unmatched for the money. I've had an e46 m3 and driven many 911s and m5s, but the overall package of this car is unbeatable. My m3 was more fun on the track, but I'm not on the track 99.9 percent of the time. All weather stability, the best sound you can ask for, and a big high revving v8 is sublime. I would highly recommend.
Acceleration, Quattro traction, Exhaust, Safety
Limited leg room in the back seat
The RS4 is very responsive and powerful yet it can be driven year round in Colorado. It is a fun car to drive in the city or in the mountains. The unassuming appearance turns heads when accelerating due to the quick start and awesome stock exhaust sound. In addition, the Quattro traction, safety features, four doors and large trunk make it a practical family sports car.

I first purchased an Audi tt years ago when they increased the power. As I developed a love for the Audi brand, the RS4 was announced. Without even a test drive, I ordered one there and then. It took a year and a half before the car made it to Oklahoma. It was well worth the wait. No other car can touch me in quickness, speed nor comfort. With a top speed at 136 mph few cars can keep up. Since those first days I've installed sport cats and exhaust system that allows the V8 to scream. Now with 80k miles, it's the best car I've owned or driven. That is unless of course, you count my Audi R8. But thats a whole different review.
