Got my RS4 last week...

So far I haven't really been able to really test the car since I only have about 100miles on it. But I am eagerly anticipating dipping into the upper RPMs and getting on the throttle. I am mostly babying it right now, and I can feel that it's something special.

The amenities are a clear upgrade from my Stage 3 B5 S4 - bluetooth, MP3 slots, Nav/MMI, etc. The leather is far nicer, too. As a result, it's nicer for daily driving. The sound is great, too, and I can't wait to put on an exhaust to give it a bit more edge. I always have the Sport button on. Throttle response is fantastic and turnin is sharp. Once I get more miles on it, I can give a more thorough review of the car's capabilities.

My B5S4 stage 3 is now for sale, check the classifieds forum

Right on Nash. That's hot. How is the handling, does it feel heavy, or does it hide its weight well? I think the stock exhaust sounds great actually.

It is Daytona Grey. It's extremely metallic in the sun, which you can see better in this photo. Daytona has a lot more "life" than Dolphin, though they look similar in the shade.

So far you can't really feel the weight in the car. I haven't thrown it around any turns yet, though. It definitely feels more nimble than my B5 S4 and more planted. I think when I get a chance to get it on the track is when I'll really appreciate the new chassis and suspension. I agree that the stock exhaust sounds good, but if you could just amplify that sound a bit, it would be killer. I liken it to the 911 - when I first got it, I thought the exhaust note was great. When I succumbed to putting a Europipe on, then I truly loved it. I expect the same will happen with a new exhaust on the RS 4.

Very nice good luck with it.

LIL RAJA, the RS4 has wider fenders as well as bigger wheels to fill those enormous fenders.
