Wow, that says alot. I have the mk4 R32 (tornado red) which I've had for almost 18 years, but the b7 RS4 is a dream car for me (along with many other cars (both euro and Japanese) in my imaginary garage). I would have thought the b7 would have made you forget about the R32, but good to know the old girl can still do it for you. Question: how do they compare, especially handling-wise (I don''t know if you ever go 9/10ths or explore the limits with these cars)? Neither are exactly lightweight. However, I have only heard good things about the b7 Rs4 unlike some other Audi RS models. I often hear that it doesn't typically understeer the way other Audi's do, especially with the rear-biased quattro. Definitely one of the most unique RS Audi's ever. One of the best looking as well (who doesn't love swollen fender flares). Would love an Avant version. Also, how is reliability? I heard maintenance can drain the wallet. And then there's the need to carbon clean...

@@Jeff_F7 how do they compare, it’s a good question. Someone told me before I bought the B7 that it’s twice the power, twice the running costs but not twice the car as the R32 and I would agree with that statement. I think it also very much depends whether you are comparing a well spec’d R32 with a bog standard B7, or whether both have had some subtle mods done to improve power and handling, like both of mine have. The B7 RS4 if not properly maintained like you have indicated can be incredibly down on power. I’ve seen them as low as 330bhp which is crazy for a car that is meant to be 414bhp from factory. Carbon cleaning is essential, as is a stage 2 remap here in the UK to really bring them alive and turn them into the proper RS they should have been from the factory. Mine is running 450bhp it has had a recent carbon clean, stage 2 tune, deflapped manifold, full catless exhaust system and it really is a quick car. It’s much faster than the R32, but I can see how an untuned, carbon’d up example wouldn’t feel much quicker than the R32. The V8 revving to almost 9,000 RPM is intoxicating and just makes you want to keep driving it. The DRC suspension although excellent is very problematic so most including myself swap this out for coilovers. I’m running KW V3’s on the RS4 and Bilstein B14’s on the R32. Both cars handle amazingly. I also have H&R sway bars fitted to both. I absolutely explore the limits of both cars - they are both weekend toys, especially the RS - I wanted it tuned this way as it’s purely for fast road/track and not a daily at all. If I had to say which one handled better I would say the RS although the R32 with the mods I’ve done is incredible. I feel I can drive the R32 on the absolute limit whereas I haven’t reached that in the RS yet. As for RS reliability…. Pretty reliable honestly. As long as you buy one with the big jobs already done or budget for the big jobs. These are: carbon clean, brakes, oil cooler, aux radiator, drc suspension. Once these are addressed, they should in theory be pretty bulletproof and the engines are bulletproof. They are both really special cars, but the B7 is just super iconic. Manual V8, huge flares, bucket seats and flat bottom steering wheel out of a Lamborghini Gallardo, Gallardo brakes too. There’s a reason they are more expensive than the 7 year newer B8 model … I’d like to keep them both forever, but if I had to sell one tomorrow, the R32 would go.

@@JC_46 here I've been debating selling my mk4 R32 (owned for 12 years) for a B7 RS4. we didn't receive the wagon in the US, so I'd replace a nice two-door hot hatch with a sedan to make it easier taking my kid to cars and coffee. I've owned B6 S4 and B7 A4, so I'm reluctant to get back into a B6/B7, but that 8k rpm V8 and manual keep calling my name.

@@RatBustard the MK4 R32 is a really, really special car. Not as good chassis wise as the MK5, but it’s definitely more special. Reminds me of the B7 RS4 in that it’s got big wide arches and looks really mean from both the front and rear. Whereas the MK5 doesn’t look as special, in my opinion. Not sure how much MK4 R32’s are worth in the states assuming that’s where you are, but I know B7 RS4’s are double and even triple in some cases the price of what they are in the UK over there, so it’s whether you can justify it. Also not only didn’t you get wagon’s, you also didn’t get the flat bottom steering wheel or the bucket seats which really do help make the RS4 special IMO. I know lots of guys buy these from Europe and ship them over. Still, no matter how good the R32’s are, you really can’t beat a V8 that revs beyond 8k RPM. If you can keep both, do it. If not, maybe after 12 years it will be a welcome change. As I said in my original post though, the RS4 is twice the cost for parts, running costs and fuel but it’s not twice the car.

@@JC_46 yep, states, so the B7 seats and steering are very underwhelming and would be my first mod, if not already done. mk4 R32's here going way up in value, especially sub 100k mile examples, of which mine is. as RS4's get closer to 100k miles, they get closer to $28-30k USD, so while not cheap, certainly enticing as a near direct price swap with a mk4 R32. but yeah, the brake part cost alone for an RS4 scares me!

Misha, I feel like adding a little VW geek correction: technically the VR6 is not a V6 because it is a narrow angle that allows for a single head. Reason why they sound so different from a V6. I guess this was the only opportunity to add something to your skilful videos, while most of the time I am only learning.

I agree, MK5’s are only just now starting to get the love that they deserve. For many, like myself, it’s not the best looker and that’s why it gets overlooked. It doesn’t look very aggressive. But that’s not to say it looks bad. It doesn’t. I prefer the looks of the MK4, but the MK5 upped the game when it comes to handling, by far. And it’s the last to have that sweet VR6.

Superb video. Btw, 0:24 No R32 has a V6, but a VR6. VR6 - Verkürzt Reihen Sechs = Shorten Inline Six! VR6, like its sibling IL6, has a 6-crankpin, 7-bearing crankshaft. Any V6 has only a 3-crankpin, 4-bearing crankshaft. The two crankshafts are completely different. The V6 label on the car is a marketing problem since salespeople don't know anything about ICE. It's easier to sell a car with the V6 than the VR6 label on the boot.

I’m not sure what you are arguing here. My comment was simply that they are two different generations of the DQ250 DSG separated by clear enhancements made to the TCU, mechatronics, wiring, etc as a result of VAG products becoming more sophisticated.

Unfortunately a lot of R32 where upgraded with turbo kits, or their Block was used for turbo Projects up to morethan 1000 ps. That’s one reason that it would be difficult to find an original R32.

Misha have you driven a Focus RS Mk2? Need to see this! This Golf looked surprisingly good though 👍🏻

Aside from the brake performance, it does look like smooth sailing with that car ⛵, just cruising with speed. Very nice.

wow this thing is a real gas guzzler. it consumed 1/4 of it's fuel tank and traveled a distance of only 18km. i think that's the main reason vw abolished them .they tuned the 2.0t and reached the same power output comparable to the r32 but with much better fuel efficiency.

Nooo not the TopGear "Torsion Beam rear axles cause understeer"! Clarkson lied! The front suspension on the Golf 4 was just really bad, much better on the 5! And you can also upgrade to some nicer TT front suspension parts to be extra fancy 😉

I’ve been looking for a r32 the last 6 months and here in sweden you can still get a high mileage mk5 for just under 10k € but nice low mileage ones goes for around 15k up to just over 20k € for a 3 door 6mt. A mk4 is impossible to find under 22k € 😓

Awesome video; I also have one, silver from South Africa. One question, how come this one didn't go beyond 210? My gauge has gone around 290km/h. Is it a speed limiter in Europe?

You could see the fuel needle moving as you got on the throttle 😅 Definitely smiles per gallon 😂 How bad on fuel are these cars btw? You hear sooooo many mixed reviews on them. Some saying they aren’t any worse than a mk5 gti and others saying for the power output they’re really bad
