Audi’s new 331kW RS4 Avant is the king of practicality-with-pace
I like the latest RS4 Avant for the same reason, although modern tech now allows it to be a part-time rebel.
Dynamic mode’s ultra-sensitive throttle makes for a twitchy and high-strung driving experience in urban confines that can become tiresome, but on an open road or curvy mountain pass — or on a racetrack if you get the chance — it’s the setting that sprinkles the Tabasco on the drive.With its sports suspension and low centre of gravity the RS4 Avant carves corners with a pinned-down feel and excellent traction.
All this performance is packaged in a car with fairly comfortable space for four and a roomy 505l boot that expands to a giant 1,510l with the rear seats flipped down — and the boot can be opened with a foot gesture if your arms are full.
