Not a fan of Audi,RS4 is nice tho but I'd rather the m3, Audi pitches allways look dull and boring too, never any character,all look the same and all horrid dark metallic colours so I wouldn't even look for the RS4 to start with  :signLOL:

Love the R36, great looking car




Ill probably get shot down in flames for this, but have you considered the Insignia VXR.  Its years ahead of the old vectra VXR, and is actually a fantastic car to drive.

A decent suggestion. They do have a very Germanic feel and plenty of road presence. I'm guessing they score well in value terms too.

Great thread   :grin:

The new S4 is the best suggestion yet for the OP's circumstances, q car looks, exceptional performance with the obligatory map and cheap as chips!

The RS4 has aged terribly IMO, it just doesn't excite me anymore. Where as the M3 does, I went to my local BM garage the other day and parked outside was a spanking M3 with the competition pack and a LOT of carbon! I nearly wet myself on the spot!

I've driven an M3 with DCT and it was AWESOME! Such an occasion! I dont imagine the RS4 to be to dissimilar to drive than mine, whilst serving me well it doesn't give me the thrill that a high powered RWD car does! It's just a point and go sort of drive, I never get the feeling that it's gonna put me in a wall if I push on too hard! Where as the M3 could bite me
very easily, if I ran out of talent. I know that may sound daft but I like to scare myself every now and again, it ain't happened to me yet in a quattro car where as the M3 scared me every time I went round a corner pressing on!

Anyways M3 FTMW  :driver:

S4 did win the Q car feature in Evo didn't it.

Just remember the E9x M3 is significantly newer than the RS4 which is no longer in production. Not quite apples for apples imo!

PMSL Tom.  :congrats:  So you base your car choice on the ability to kill you.  :evilgrin:   Maybe think about taking out a couple of wheel bolts for the Oulton track day on the 26th.  :signLOL:  Or let MR sick helmet drive.  :wink:

m3 if pushed.

But neither for me.

Both too heavy, both too thirsty, both get outshined by hothatches in straight line duels.

Yeah that's exactly what my thoughts are, also m3 is more appealing to the eyes for me.

If I was given another choice, I would love to have a TTRS S-tronic with some mods  :evilgrin:
