Maintenance
The RS4 Avant is a new car and most of the replacement material would be covered in Audi’s 4-year warranty. Audi did a recall on the RS4 due to its shock absorber failure. Other than that, the RS4 wagon is a durable car.
If we look at the reliability of the RS4 B7 sedan, then it is a reliable car in its price bracket. The car does not have any major issues, but the replacement of brakes, tires, and oil does cost a lot more. However, that’s pretty common for luxury sports cars like the RS4 B7. It also produces around 400 horsepower so you would have to bear that.
