Default MY15 Audi RS4 Avant

I am getting close to pulling the trigger on one of these as i have grown bored of my current ride. Are there any good reasons you guys can give me to not go ahead with the purchase, eg reliability issues?

I need a wagon or an SUV so I can move stuff for work, so 2 seaters are not only out but my wonderful partner wont approve either.

All feedback welcome

I had an S4 Avant for a while and loved it (wife's car - she loved it too). Wish we never traded it away. The RS4 has to be fantastic. I have a RS7 now which definitely will never be boredom inducing. It's a perfect car for a big-ish sedan.

Only downside - gas mileage. That's why my wife ultimately traded.

I just got out of a lease on a MY15 S4. Not an RS4 but it was a great car all around. No issues. The RS4 is even more fun. Go for it. Can’t believe Audi stopped offering dual clutch tranny in the S4 this year.

Do it!

I've had several Audi's, including two S4's, an Avant and sedan. I would not hesitate to buy an RS6 Avant were they available in the U.S.

Cant go wrong with an RS4- had 3 of them. Great fun to drive. The Avant has plenty of boot space.

Currently have an A6 S Line Diesel- needed the extra leg room cause one of my daughters is 6 foot 1 inch and had trouble getting her legs in the 4!!
