Pick one: Audi RS4 (B8) or VW Golf R Estate (Mk8) - and why?
is a riot, but its usefulness to a wider buying public is hampered by front-wheel drive and a standard manual ; all-wheel drive and a good automatic are where it’s at if you want the all-weather performance that is a hallmark of the genre.
Same goes for inside. The RS4 is marked out as special if you know where to look - at a 9,000rpm rev counter, for one - rather than having its schportiness rammed down your throat at every opportunity. Some shiny trim identifies this Audi out as used and the resolution of its screens belies the age, but a cabin that probably looked a bit button heavy and staid a decade ago remains eminently agreeable in 2022. The Golf's interior won't age so well. Because it’s crap already.
Of course, you'll be mostly thinking about the engine anyway. Viewed from the 2022, it's nothing short of exquisite. Incredible to think that as recently as 2014 buyers could choose between a C-Class estate with a 6.2-litre V8 and an Audi Avant with an 8,500rpm equivalent; they feel like such exotic, supercar-suitable engines that it’s almost impossible now to fathom them ever being offered in humdrum family cars.
It feels far lighter than even the spec sheet difference would imply, with all the benefits that a lower mass - and what we can only assume is a massive upgrade in torsional stiffness - typically confers. The Golf is more willing to change direction, less ponderous in every part of the turn and accelerates that bit harder as well. Only when the Audi is furiously combusting the kids’ inheritance over the epic final few revs does it seem demonstrably quicker.
