I have a 2018 S6 that I bought new. Great car but know maintenance is steep. For example, just replaced brake pads and rotors (they last about 35K miles) for the second time. Over $4K. I like the last generation interior better without the excessive use of screens, and of course the V8.

[@aviana009]

How much for labor vs price or brakes and rotors? Seems very steep unless you took it to an Audi dealership

[@njdon89]

You took it to a dealership ain’t no way you’re paying 4k for brakes…you’re allowing yourself to get robbed lol. Find yourself a private mechanic that specializes in German. Don’t fork out 4k bro wtf lol

[@friendo787]

Took my 2013 S6 to a third party VW/Audi mechanic. Front brakes including labor was $2,600 about a year ago. Parts alone were about 1400ish…

[@benjamindas0440]

I love sleeper Audi sports cars.. silent and powerful

[@randy2558]

Kudos for reviewing a classy, great looking sports sedan and not another soccer mom toyota suv.

[@islanddon865]

Audi is my "Deutsche Wagen" of choice. The 6 series is about right. Fit & Finnish par excellence. If you can afford to buy it, LEASE it!

[@Mm.2112]

The ultimate road trip luxury sedan in my opinion

[@alengreen589]

after 5 years of production, still a very nice luxury midsize sedan, I like it. Thanks Kirk 😀

[@AP-cc1uw]

Kirk what's your take on a 2-3 year old CPO S6 vs 2-3 year old M550i? My Giulia lease is up in 2026 and I am planning ahead...

[@h2o247]

Can't wait for your RS6 review ;-)

[@ceochariots5142]

Auto vs dynamic auto is going to adapt to your driving style. I have the A8L chauffeur package with refrigerator I love this car

[@vampyrelycan99]

Any in-glove compartment ODD module? If not then SAD......

[@renevancoillie6415]

The best you can find , i love this car .

[@joshuagraham3222]

One of my favorite cars.

[@baoanprounited]

Is it still have the turbo lag? Been debating the S7 and RS7 due to that, i dont need 500 plus hp but if the S series still have the turbo lag issue, im springing for the RS!

[@michael9678727]

no turbo lag, the electronic super charger spools air into the turbos.

[@MrBasically810]

i had an e85 tune on it and was hitting 100kmph in 3.6

[@visualaxingofficial]

S6 easy win in looks vs. the S8. S8 wipes the floor in performance vs. the S6. I think I would go with the S6 if I was buying. And that’s coming from a guy who has owned an S8 and currently owns an A8L.

[@kathyfeger9617]

Still waiting for them to come out with some thing that I like better than my 2016 A6 Super Charge.

[@oceanbreeze1110]

Was surprised to see a review of this German car. Thought the channel was about Japanese and Korean cars exclusively.

[@alwaysiyi272]

Woaahhh 90 grand is absolutely too much for this car. Same ball park as an LC500. Different type of cars I know but you can get much more exotic and appealing f cars for that price

[@callmecue]

Whoa. When did Kirk start doing non JDM/KDM vehicle reviews?

[@user-vs7ec1wz5d]

Don't like the black grille. Should have made the wheels in black. Like the red stitching. I don't like shiny black plastic because it shows fingerprints and scratches. I will take the Cadillac LTS

[@MikeForsythe]

Brilliant car and best looking in class. Still low key not sure why.

[@KirkKreifels]

See you shortly!

[@lbnycity89]

I thought the 6 model was a wagon. I guess they got to variance.. the wagon is definitely better probably the best wagon on the market, but when it comes to four-door, Audi sedans the7 is the best one

[@LeoTheShortGuy]

Cool

[@vlbrian]

What do you mean by steering wheel stitching not up to the Japanese?

[@roger3958]

No problem? Big problem! 91k problems. In all seriousness though, has there ever been a car that’s been supercharged and turbo’d?

[@KirkKreifels]

G90 I reviewed is.

[@fangyideng3131]

Volvo is known for super and turbo-charging most of their line up, and electric motors on top of that

[@roger3958]

Ok we’ll it’s painfully obvious I don’t know much outside of Japanese and domestic cars. Lol 😆

[@milemilic4859]

Autobahn a8 full throttle crash flip 10 20 time one broken finger safest cars on planet

[@michael9678727]

I got 4.29 0 TO 100km/h

[@erezyoal]

Wait for timing chain or catalytic converter or steering rack, all of them Are engine out so sell it befor the warranty is over.

[@CocoaBob]

TLX Type-S has the same exterior length but less power and smaller cabin space.

[@alexd5240]

And a tlx type s is slow af

[@CocoaBob]

@@alexd5240 You can buy a Tesla

[@jaekrupp8591]

no on the market- and I mean NO CAR on the market is topping the Audi’s Backseat AC/Heater interface/design , as well as the side vents on the pillars !

[@brandonhughes401]

100% would take this over a Merc and the over hyped BMWs no hesitation

[@TopJoo7]

The real question is..why would you spend 91k on a V6 engine...

[@omostim2385]

My thoughts exactly

[@MercOne]

The A6/S6 is Audi's best looking sedan, with near perfect proportions. The A8 looks terrible and screams FWD and the A4 is just forgettable. This car most certainly does not launch as hard as the S8.

[@nycbball8]

No v8, not a s6!

[@marcusm1885]

This dude said the Audi stitched leather is not as good as the Japanese LMAO!!! What...Lexus?!?? Bias much??

[@alexd5240]

Someone owns a lexus and couldn't buy an audi 😂

[@2A_All_Day_2011]

what color is that creamy light blue eww

[@jordanrosenberg9816]

ONLY lease NEVER buy Audi's

[@andyleo8418]

The supercharged V6 engine from the previous gen is a lot more reliable. Avoid this one.

[@michael9678727]

the previous gen was a V8

[@andyleo8418]

@@michael9678727 that sounds like a stealership price. Brakes and rotors are normally very easy to replace. Parts might cost more than an average car but not $4k.

[@mylifeislegendary942]

S6 is a good car but bmw m550i xdrive and mercedes amg e53 is better than this.

[@dude-yg9ez]

But no more M550 V8 tho for the new gen sadly

[@mylifeislegendary942]

@@dude-yg9ez well thats ok and i never said v8 is a must
