Audi RS4 Avant (2013) long-term rest review

Rated 4 out of 54

the CAR road test team, 26 April 2013 09:10

Month 1 running an Audi RS4 Avant - the RS4 begins its stint at CAR It's probably worth dealing with the question of ride quality before we go any further. Much has been written about the unforgiving nature of the RS4’s chassis, and some of that was no doubt fuelled by the angst of a certain Mr J Clarkson, who told ...

Audi S3 (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 10 April 2013 16:00

This is the new Audi S3, a near-300bhp four-wheel drive hot hatch that’s as quick as a Porsche 911 and a rival for BMW’s M135i and the forthcoming Mercedes A45 AMG. Is it a VW Golf GTI turned up to 11, or just a faster Audi A3? Read on for our first drive review of the new Audi S3… How ...

Audi RS6 Avant (2013) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Pulman, 09 April 2013 11:30

This is new Audi RS6 Avant, a 552bhp rival to the BMW M5, Jaguar XFR-S and Mercedes E63 AMG. It’s also the second of four new Audi RS models due in 2013, but after the disappointment of the first (the RS5 Cabriolet) can the new RS6 deliver? This über Avant is less powerful than its predecessor, but it is faster ...

Audi A6 Allroad 3.0 BiTDi (2012) long-term test review

Rated 4 out of 54

the CAR road test team, 04 April 2013 09:30

Month 6 running an Audi A6 Allroad - the strange Audi service schedule explained No, I'm not supplementing my income with a bit of funeral directing on the side, the matching colours were simply coinicidence. The mini-me is my girlfriend’s 2004 A4 Avant TDI, pictured here to show the positive side of Audi’s sometimes painfully slow design evolution. Can you think ...

Audi RS5 Cabriolet (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 30 January 2013 09:40

The weight of expectation hung heavy over the RS5 when it was launched in 2010. After the RS4 saloon had come oh-so-close to beating the M3, Quattro GmbH’s first RS coupe had all the potential to finally best the BMW. But despite a cracking naturally aspirated 4.2-litre V8, a quick-shifting dual-clutch gearbox and UK-friendly four-wheel drive, the RS5 took a ...

Audi SQ5 TDI (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 15 October 2012 12:30

Super-fast diesels with four-rings on the nose are nothing new. The A8 and Q7 have featured rapid V8, and even V12, oil burners for years. But only now has Audi put together the underbonnet hardware to tackle BMW’s epic 35d engine in its volume mid-range cars. First sampled in the new A6 late last year, the 3.0-litre V6 bi-turbo instantly ...

Used cars: how to buy a second-hand Audi RS4 Avant (2005-2008)

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 11 September 2012 11:00

After three turbo RS models, Quattro changed tack and fitted the second-generation RS4 with a naturally aspirated engine. And what an engine: the Le Mans-winning R8 sports prototype donated its FSI direct-injection technology; 90% of the torque is still available at 7800rpm and the 8250rpm redline means it revs like no other Audi. Plus, the Sport button on the steering ...

Used cars: how to buy a second-hand Audi RS6 Avant (2002-2004)

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 10 September 2012 09:10

Audi’s maiden foray into M5 territory marked more new developments for Quattro. Power still came from a twin-turbo engine (now a 4.2-litre V8 from the S6), but future traits such as silver door mirrors, RS-branded calipers and twin oval tailpipes appeared. This was also the first RS fitted with an automatic transmission, and the first to be offered as a ...

Used cars: how to buy a second-hand Audi RS2 Avant (1994-95)

Rated 2 out of 52

RS2 Audi’s Quattro division was formed in 1983, but Chairman Mao wouldn’t have been impressed by the work ethic: it took until 1990 before an ‘S’ model appeared, and another four years for the first RS to arrive.The Audi 80 Avant underpinnings were humble, but with help from Porsche the RS2 was transformed into an über-estate that could hit 30mph ...

Used cars: how to buy a second hand Audi RS4 Avant (2000-2001)

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 07 September 2012 09:00

Like the RS2, the first RS4 was available only as an Avant. This time Quattro didn’t call on Porsche, but although much of the r&d was completed in-house, Cosworth Technology (then owned by Audi) was enlisted to upgrade the S4’s engine – it redesigned the cylinder head and fitted larger turbos to liberate 113bhp and 30lb ft more. It’s quicker ...
