Hello Everyone! Well, I did it. I traded my RS4 for a Prius and I couldn't be happier. What I'm missing in the power department is made up for with great mileage and a cool interior. I recently got a blue 2010 with beige interior. It has the solar roof and Nav packackage Now, I like to be unique. So, I have ordered some underglow (blue) to match the car as well as a cold air intake kit off ebay which is supposed to give me a 25hp+ boost and better mileage. I ordered some 17" chrome asa rims and have an appointment at the end of the week to get 30% tint all around (minus front windshield). I also ordered some look-alike red plastic Brembo look brake caliper covers :rockon: Out with the old in with the new! Will post pics soon!!!
kidA - Radiohead reference? I can't imagine a cold-air intake will boost hp by 25 points. Maybe .25hp
Lol the intake was kinda a joke, I did order one but I know they don't give 25hp gains. probably 5 crank tops with a little more sound. And yes, Radiohead

Congrats on the upgrade! How many miles did you have on your RS4 and tell us about your ownership experience.
Well where to begin... I got the car in 2007. Bought it from my local Audi dealer (they were great btw) and loved it. The car was great in every way. Handled extremely well in all conditions, including snow (thanks to AWD and snow tires of course). The power was very linear after about 3500RPMs all the way up to 8250rpms. It felt like it would never stop. I had a Tubi exhaust on it which made people look at me like I was insane because it sounded so mean. sounded like this: It had a lot of the pull you back into your seat and make you smile power. When you hit the gas, you knew it. I really loved the car but I was refueling way too often and I plan on eventually getting an RS5 if they come to the states so I decided I'd be wild and get a prius. So far I like it a lot! One thing I do miss though was the RS4 interior...those seats were so comfy!
