I like them a lot but they have very fragile alloys.

Seriously cool motors though.

Prices are dropping rapidly, Audi overstocked for the UK Market.

Good time to buy. A 56 plate with < 5,000 miles can be had for 45-47k.

Presumably you're talking about the older RS4 that can be had for 20-25k. Fortunately you're only a couple of miles from Fontain Audi in Iver - one of the best specialists in the country. However, I have "measured up" an RS4 and it's no bigger inside than a Scooby. Nice car, but don't buy it for more space.

RS4 rear seat is small and you won't get 3 kids seats in the back. Thought about one of these mself and I have 3 younger kids, but the space put me off.

M3 nice and would love one, but only 2 doors. So how about a M5 which is on my consideration list ?

Only thing I don't like about the M5 is the older style looks and the long throw gearbox.

tough call as I have found .!
