Audi s5 4.2 v8 views
Possibly looking at getting one. Anything to look out for? Heard a few things about the RS4 engine chokeing up are they the same? Also service costs and mpg, people seem to have very varied views on the internet.

Well I wouldn't because I think it's a hideous car but if it's what you fancy, fair enough.
Can't comment on the FSI 'S' engine but I did have the 4.2 40-valve V8 S6.
Strong engine that can take abuse all day long but a pig to change the belts on!
Not too thirsty for this sort of car and brakeparts and such were all quite resonably.
The quick Audi's are know for issues with C-converters though, one to watch out for because they are very dear!

I had one last year for about 6months, lovely to drive, pretty quick when on the move but you do feel it being a big car from takeoff. The factory bang and olufson stereo is awesome, best I've heard from a factory unit. I fitted a Milltek which transformed the noise, highly recommended. Fuel wasn't too bad low 20's but you wouldn't be looking at one of economy concerned you! Never had any probs with it though! Only sold as I wanted an sl55....
