Thinking of ordering a new RS4 but Al Nabooda have no demonstrator and I'm keen to have a drive (or a passenger ride) and/or hear some first hand experiences before I commit - the reviews are a bit mixed in the car mags and online. I was wondering if anyone on this site has one or knows of anyone who does?

Al Nabooda told me they have sold ten so far in Dubai, nine of them to British customers!

There was a new one at Honda DFC earlier. No help to you I know, but think it was one of the press cars.

I would speak to Shahzad from Motoring Middle East, or Phil from Crank and Piston, I think they have both driven them.
I would get the Blue Ex Demo one...If you want to save some spondoolies on the price that is.

All in all, as you say, mixed reviews. I am not a fany of the avant, I love em, just not a fan that all the new ones are only estates you know. I have the RS6 V10 and love it, so am sure the RS4 isnt a far cry from that.....of course a little lighter and V8 instead of V10.

I had a play on the configurator at the Audi showroom for a while, thats good fun. If you do buy it...of course, it has to be in the bright blue eh!

Dealer says he will show me a customer car when it comes in, they also have a high spec misano one arriving in Oct which is as yet unsold...

There is also lots of feedback on rs246.com, unsurprisingly mostly positive but good to hear nonetheless. A couple of (prospective) Dubai owners on there too so I am sure they will have some feedback in due course.

Anyone want to buy an M3?
