Has anyone else had this thought?

So it is not right to say it's 2x more expensive to buy if comparing RS2 and RS4.

I didn't say that, you did. I didn't even mention RS2's

This is just another one of those classic thread that highlights all the clichéd preconceptions from people that have never had anything to do with the item in question

How bored we are...today...Saturday night boring at home while others are trying to **** young and pretty girls....

Dest doesnt think so.

Well, that's just disillusioning yourself

For the money I blew on service and tires right now, I could have built a 600hp 2.2T.
EASY.

Of course, the RS2 is very expensive to buy, even more expensive than RS4 sometimes.
So it is not right to say it's 2x more expensive to buy if comparing RS2 and RS4.
But the reason RS2 is so expensive is because it was the first RS car and there were much fewer made.

Dest doesnt think so.

When youve had one yourself you'll be in a position to comment

[Rocco]

@ Dest, I was only joking

Anyway, this is all going off topic... the original debate being has anyone else thought about getting one

Last year I test drove several RS4's having owned an MRC mapped Avant for almost 5 years.
I thought I needed to see and feel where my money was going and so I thought I needed an RS4. I now like meeting RS4's on the road as they look at where their car came from and NOT where my RS2 would like to be.

[martinjs]

a car which costs at least 2x as much to buy and maintain.

Dest doesnt think so.

Uhm, why would you compare with a stock RS4.
Stock RS4 is a pretty tame beast. I tried flashing it to stock. It's really progressive and smooth.
Remapped RS4 is where it's at. Especially when you remove the 77% max throttle restriction until 3000 rpm, it's savage

Anyway, you are comparing a car which costs at least 2x as much to buy and maintain, and that is close to 10 years newer. Of course it's going to be better to drive.
I would be surprised if it wasn't.

That said, if I was building a fast weekend toy with big turbo, I'd take a light 3B Coupe any day over a RS4.
Like, for a daily driver - RS4, for a weekend fun toy - your competition Tomas

Are you remembering how fast is ? And how it sounds ?

You was really happy doing WOT ....also with your wife

[dest]

Rs4 are only a modified s4 avant..

Obviously, just like an RS2 is a modified S2!
But, as we all know, an RS4 is a factory released car so that arguement isnt really relevant is it

Either compare a stock S2/RS2 to a stock RS4, or both modified, not just one

[Rocco]

Once again, thats comparing stock to modified

Rs4 are only a modified s4 avant..

Rs2 spec coupe or stock rs4 ?

Is that all?

Yeah, and the list of problems on an S2 is really short isnt it
You're like a stuck record.

Here's a list of problems you can find on the S2

[Rocco]

But are'nt you comparing a stock RS4 to a modified S2?
Hardly a fair comparison
