“Price-wise, the Audi RS 4 Competition is quite the step up in price from the standard car, but if you do happen to want an RS 4 that’s practical in the week and track-ready at the weekend, you at least now have that option. Be quick though, if you like the idea of this car, because most have already been snapped up.”

“By any objective measure, this is an exceptional machine. The engine combines effortless reach with an elemental punch, and the chassis conjures such stability that you suspect the Audi RS 4 Avant would simply drive away from its rivals on any road that was less than immaculately surfaced.”

“The Audi RS 4 is as much fun to drive as the RS5 (in fact, subjectively, it actually feels better balanced), while enjoying a more unassuming image.”

“The Audi RS 4 Avant remains one of the best performance estate cars on sale. There are very few cars that can offer such impressive power and everyday usability in one package. Its interior may be slightly outdated, but this is still a car that’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face.”

“Think fast estates and it’s impossible not to think of Audi, and its RS4. The company almost single-handedly, created the rocketship fast family hauler, and it remains inextricably linked to them.”

“It’s not too flashy and obnoxious but is notably aggressive and sporty looking – just as a fast estate should be. While, personally, we prefer the styling of the B8 a tad more, the latest RS4 is still a very attractive car in our eyes – no complaints here.”

“The RS4 Avant is a compelling option for anybody who wants vast quantities of performance in a car that retains all the practicalities that come with being an estate. True, a Mercedes-AMG C63 Estate has greater adjustability to its handling, but if you prefer your fast estate with more grip than slip the RS4 is the one to have.”

“This reworked Audi RS 4 shows how committed RS GmbH is to creating cars of real character. A bit uptight, mind.”

“The Audi RS4 Avant can be very comfortable in the right spec, but whatever suspension you choose it with, it doesn’t handle in a way that competes on the level of an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifolgio, BMW M3 or Mercedes-AMG C63.”
