Goodbye RS4, Hello C63!

It is with mixed emotions that I am parting with my beloved 2007 Audi RS4. Mixed because while I have absolutely loved her, I am moving on to a 2011 Iridium Silver C63 w/PP this November. Very excited.

Only problem is that my RS4 is still on lease until next August. Long story, don't ask. Anyway, if there are any fellow Canadians who are interested in driving an RS4 for 8 or 9 months, check out my listing on http://www.leasebusters.com/en/details.asp?ID=104158

Excellent condition, low kms, C$1,000 incentive and winter tires thrown in. Feel free to contact me through the leasebusters site and thanks for your consideration. Looking forward to joining the C63 community!

congrats--that's going to be a long wait--I know because I waited almost 4 months for mine to arrive after I ordered it.
You'll love the p31.

just beat on the rs4 for winter and keep the new C all toasty in the garage--mine only has a couple more months before it hibernates!

the wait sucks. couple of more months to go. would prefer to drive the RS4 in winter but the extra $14k in lease payments doesn't turn my crank. plus how can I get a new C63 and then just let it sit... that would drive me even more crazy!

Nice work! I too gave up my 2007 RS4 for a tenorite gray C63 last year.
Where abouts are you from? I live in Vancouver. Would be interested in a beater for winter!

from Winnipeg. Yes the RS4 is a great winter beater, which I've even managed to keep rust free after all of these years! How are you liking the C63 vs. the RS4?

It's fantastic when it's dry. GOBS of torque compared to the RS4. The exhaust note is really quite good too. If you liked the RS4, you'll love the C63 (a little more grumbly and throaty than the RS4)

Only problem is when it's wet you can't give 'er like in the audi. Otherwise I really like it. I find the handling to be better in the C63 as well. I think the balance is better, and the chassis actually feels stiffer. It's by far the best handling AMG I've ever driven (i've never driven the black series though!)

C63
I too recently moved from an RS4 to a C63 and no regrets so far. The torque of the C63 really makes the car a joy to drive. There are good and bad with both cars but I have no plans to swap out the C63 any time soon...although my wife drive it the other day and says she wants it because she really likes the seats...

Thanks for the comparisons guys. I test drove the C63 once and was instantly converted. Feel a little guilty leaving Audi after being a faithful customer for 10 years but with no viable replacement vehicle in their lineup (no more RS4, RS5 coming here God knows when and an R8 isn't exactly practical with 2 kids and Canadian winters) I had no choice but to stray. Cheating never felt so good!

BTW the wait for the C63 is only til November 2010 so it's not too bad!

I thought RS5 was due September of next year...read audi release iirc...well c63 makes more of a change as RS5 is very similar to RS4 (fun car btw), same engine but another 30horses and the dual clutch...enjoy the brutish 6.2
