I think this is quite often the case with fast saloon cars. unbelievably rapid for a 4 seat family car however, they simply don’t excite. Audi’s are particularly ‘bad’ at this. Maybe they are just too good / competent to be fun?
Depends – the B6 RS4 was a great car and one that got rav reviews for how it drove. I spent some time driving one and thought it was brilliant; alright the bucket seats ate up some of the rear leg room and it wasn’t that big for an estate but it was a great car to drive and made a fabulous noise.
The same person then changed it for a C6 RS6 (V10) which he didn’t have as long and I don’t think he loved it that much deep down. It was hugely fast and very. very impressive but once you got past this, it was a tad dull. The engine / exhaust noise was far too muted, sport mode was unbearable because it ruined the ride and as soon as you hit the brakes / got to a corner you were reminded that it weighed 2 tonnes.
