5 out of 5

Available as a saloon, estate and convertible, Audi's ultimate A4, the RS4, is powered by a huge 4.2-litre V8 engine with a whopping 414bhp. This gives it a 0-60mph time of less than five seconds and allied to a howling soundtrack from the FSI engine and four exhaust pipes, it makes driving one an intoxicating experience. The RS models have long had a cult following and this one is no exception.

It's not cheap to buy or run, but if you want a less brash and overt alternative to the BMW M3, look no further.

What owners say...

“ Quite a bit for a performance car to be honest... 4 doors, big boot, big brakes, good handling etc Its just as suitable being used as a family car as it is being used down at Croft race circuit. ”

“ The boot. I don't carry alot for work, the GTR does fine, but for the times I need alot of kit, camping trips, bike rides, trips to B&Q it is perfect. It's why I wanted a second car.. ”
