![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Road & Track: IS-F vs RS4 vs M3 vs C63 Finally, R&T did a comparison test of these 4 door sport sedans. ROADandTRACK.com -- Comparison Tests - Ultimate Sedan Comparison (6/2008) 1st place: C63 2nd place: M3 3rd place: RS4 4th place: IS-F This test was basically done on everyday roads, not a track circuit. As I've mentioned many times before, the C63 is likely the better performance car for everyday roads, while the M3 shines better on a track.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Road & Track: IS-F vs RS4 vs M3 vs C63 I know what I would pick - the M3. Surprisingly easy to drive on the streets, lots of traction and comfortable ride as a 335i. Now my biggest concern is, do I want a manual or a DCT? Good to see the RS4 still gong strong.

Even without benefit of track testing, they could still see traditional M3 advantages on everyday roads: handling, steering, driving excitement, and ride. That last one wasn't a given as the M3 in this test was on 19" wheels and without EDC. |
