What's a step up from a Legacy GT?

How about one of these?

Thoughts, opinions, suggestions?

That's not just a step up, that's like an entire flight of stairs!!! :)

I've never particularly enjoyed Audis and VWs.

Many years ago I almost bought a regular S4 on the same platform as this RS4, but decided against it due to dealer shenanigans. I continued test driving other cars which then made me realize the S4 did live up to the nose-heavy stereotype. The back seat is pretty damn small too.

The RS4 has more POWAHHHH and sends more of it to the rear wheels which I suppose probably helps with all that weight up front, but I dunno. Probably not the car for me.

I too have heard about the nose-heaviness but it's going to be my daily and I have a short commute so it shouldn't affect me too much. Hell it'll probably get better mpg than the LGT. I rarely use my back seats and yes, the power. Not many 400hp V8 cars with AWD and a stick available.

Run far away. The person who slaps a Ford dealer badge on a car without cleaning it and sends it for pics is not someone I would want selling me a performance vehicle.

I thought the exact same thing. Also the picture of the headlights where it shows some haze haha. It doesn't have to the be this particular car but I'm on the lookout.

It's worth a test drive to see how you like it. My experience was with the regular S4 and the RS4 is different enough that my experience may not apply.

Hell it'll probably get better mpg than the LGT.

Hahaha good luck with that!
