I haven’t been able to do much more driving; lots of shoveling, though! But when I did finally get out I had a great time sampling the RS4′s traction control and stability control systems, and they work great! When they are off, the car is an absolute beast: rev and spin those tires, get a little sideways and then the tires hook up and you shoot off — oh, the joy!
This is another car for my top-10 list. I believe I put the Accord Coupe 6-speed V6 on it when I reviewed that car, but the RS4 needs to go onto a top-10-of-all-time list. I won’t bother to mention fuel consumption for this beast. It seemed to be pretty good on the highway, and while I went through a lot of fuel in a short distance, that had more to with my right foot than the car.
I love that the RS4 provides supercar performance in a practical form, even with all sorts of snow on the ground. And the fact that most on-lookers have no idea that you are in automotive nirvana adds to the appeal.
There is no way to express the true awesomeness that is the RS4 driving experience. You just have to drive it to understand. As an added treat I have attached two mp3 sound clips at the bottom of this Day 4 entry for your enjoyment.
