Normally when you buy an estate car, you're making a conscious choice of practicality over driver enjoyment. Estate cars are like beige slacks: fantastically practical and appropriate for any number of situations. But like beige slacks, they're not really something to get excited about.
Enter the Audi RS4 Avant.
With the RS4 Avant, Audi decided to combine the semi-skimmed practicality of an estate car with the blistering performance of a full-fat supercar. Thanks to the RS4's glorious, and we do mean glorious, 4.2-litre V8 engine, 0-62mph takes just 4.7 seconds, an astonishing figure for a car which can easily accommodate enough luggage for the family holiday.

And it's not just the performance figures that impress. On the road, the RS4 just grips and grips and, just when you think you're about to go backwards into a hedge, it grips some more.
The Audi RS4 Avant is, perhaps more than any other car on the road, a consummate all-rounder. It really is difficult to think of another car which covers all the bases in the same way, and it's for the reason we've given it our Estate Car of the Year Award.
