To recap
Audi rings the changes. Out goes V8, in comes turbo V6. Out goes S-Tronic, in comes Tiptronic. It doesn’t matter, the RS4 is better than ever and remains a leader among fast estates. Spacious and high quality feeling, it can’t quite do exuberance like the Mercedes C63 and for some its restraint will be its downfall. But it has oodles of appeal, not least thanks to a great interior and intuitive tech. Just watch your options spends, so the price doesn’t get too silly.
