Should You Buy an AUDI RS6? (Test Drive & Review 2014 C7 Avant)

I was buying a takeaway coffee minding my own business a few years ago, and all of a sudden there was this almighty noise and I thought the earth was splitting in two. Turned round and it was one of these RS6s being ragged up the road. Sounded fucking awsome.

[@Negativvv]

German prestige cars have never had it so bad in terms of how much of a fist they make owners look. I blame cheap PCP so everyone can afford one. Notice the massive drop in chavvy hatchbacks in recent years? The crowd have all moved onto BMW/Merc/Audi on cheap finance...

[@user-ck6kq8zl2i]

@Pollywog To be fair, if I had an rs6 then now and then Id like to boot it just to get that sound out. And Im not a chav, but I take your point.

[@declanpower2924]

@@brianiswrong I have the Skoda estate, a 2012 V6 AWD and love it. The first car in 30 years I have kept past the end of the lease, it is that good and so reliable. Not that many kms as I have other vehicles. But if it becomes old and cranky like it's owner, and RS6(or 5 or 7) is seriously on the cards. I love that you can have an almost understated practical wagon to throw things in the back of and a stinking hoon car all in one.

You do a little disservice to the A6, because I had a 1999 A6 Avant 4.2 V8, normally aspirated in those days. A quoted 295bhp it was a hugely practical car with acres of space and yet it had a huge punch with he V8 engine. Mine had a tow bar as well which made it a brilliant all round work horse, but with plenty of luxury, an auto gearbox of course which was tiptronic. It was a joy to drive. M8ne died sadly when a piston parted company with the crank shaft at 160000 miles. I was gutted. So much so that I bought an RS6 V10 5.0 just to console myself. Still the huge practical interior with now an immense punch. A ridiculous petrol consumption compared to the relatively frugal V8 but a beautiful car.

[@markramsay6399]

Good video. So I have had a RS6 from 2013 to April 2022 (C7). I did 139,000 miles in it. Enjoyed it very much !! / BUT !!! 5 sets of tyres, 5 sets of full disc and brakes all around, oil change every 9000 miles, water pump, two sets of plugs (8 each time). Discs and brakes - typical 2-3k at a time. Tyres - 1.5 K (at least each time). Not even started on the fuel! On a long motorway run I could do 30MPG (by sitting in the slow lane and letting lorries overtake). School run, 8 MPG. Do I regret ? No. But do not think it is about being able to afford a monthly payment if you are on finance, it is about can you afford to run it !? Nice video . Mark.

[@bazzaclarky7445]

Another fantastic video! I currently have an A6 C7 Avant, which is the perfect family car with the V6 diesel. But that very RS6 is the absolute dream! 😍

Out of all the supercars I've ever driven when subcontracting to Ferrari dealership a few years ago the RS6 V10 Lamborghini engine was without doubt the best car I have ever driven. It had the power and performance of a Ferrari yet the armchair comfort of a luxury car. I think it had a little bit more power than the model you have there although this car here looks better.

I've never had or driven one of those. The V10 S6 has always been tempting but never bought one

Stunning car, my sisters hubby has one, but he won't give me a go, b'stard! But to own one, you'd better have a vault to keep it in til the weekend, and away from envious eyes. And also an understanding bank manager. If you have all of that, and some decent twisty roads nearby, then why not! You might want to download the WAZE app too, so you can plan your route to avoid sitting "blue meanies" who will enjoy watching you cry as they take your license away. Personally though, I'd love the chance to take one up a deserted A road in the Scottish Highlands, or somewhere similar, just me and the car, nobody else to distract you from the experience. Yet another great video. Cheers Matt.🤜🤛
