[B]I'm looking at placing an order for the new RS4, however, I'm having trouble finding answers to some simple questions.
1. RS Bucket seats - do they impede on the rear seat leg room more than conventional A4 bucket seats ?
A little bit, yes, but only because the backs are solid so don't give when rear passengers' knees touch them
2. How comfortable are you finding the RS buckets on long trips?
Not as comfortable as the standard Recaros - and if you're broad across the beam, you may find standard sports buckets very snug indeed!
3. The adjustment of the side bolsters of the RS bucket seats, are they only on the driver's side or is it also on the passenger's side as well? If so do these also tighten up as per the driver's side when the S button is pushed?
Good question, I imagine only the driver's seat adjusts, but may be wrong
4. I believe that the rear seats are different to conventional S4 seats, does anyone have a picture of them?
They are virtually the same as standard A4/ S4 rear seats; the only difference is in the covering and RS4 logos
5. Does anyone know if the inlet manifold on the RS4 is variable i.e. like the new AMG 63 motor?
No, it isn't variable
6. What is your opinion on the ride comfort of the RS4 and what would you compare it to (i.e. what cars have you had previously)?
Ride comfort on standard RS4 suspension is extremely good; this is the best riding Audi currently in production. Period. It is certainly better than E46 BMW M3 and last RS6. There is no AWD car that rides better except a Range Rover Sport - but this is hardly a high performance saloon
Any feedback on the above would be much appreciated.]
