  • I take a Mythos Black 2016 Audi S6 with Design Selection Arras Red interior around the block just before a massive rain storm drenches the town. I had my cell phone and a few minutes, so I took advantage of the opportunity to grab this for you. I love this interior and all the details. I will try to do a full review if this car is still available in the next week or so - highly doubtful this won't be gone when I can get back.

    Good insight even with the limited memory on your cell phone. I ordered one in Glacier White Metallic and loaded it up except for the B&O sound system. I got it through European Delivery and will be leaving next week to pick it up in Ingolstadt Germany. Can't wait to see what it can do on the Autobahn! Keep sharing your reviews and your passion for cars! Don't let the pessimists bring you down! LOL!

      @DieselDrives  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +jmen8888 Audi models are in high demand and sales are low compared to BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Aura, Cadillac, etc.. The demand and low inventory is creating high resale values on most Audi models. I traded in two Audi models last year after driving less than 10K miles on each of them. The Q5, by far, had the best resale value.

    What model of audio have ventilated seats and what package is it part of if any?

    • @DieselDrives
      @DieselDrives  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Vented seats come with the prestige trim on the A6. I believe you must order comfort seats on the S6 as the normal seats are diamond stitched and not vented, but I could have the optional seat info backwards on the S6. The diamond seats are either standard or optional but you can't get vented diamond seats unless you get the A8. The Q5 also has a vented seat option.

    • @MaSSaCR3_
      @MaSSaCR3_ 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't get Audi's pricing methods....why not just include the 360 view camera standard on all trims?? I doubt it costs that much more....Nissan can do it for much cheaper. Does Audi use like 4K cameras or what am I missing?

    • @DieselDrives
      @DieselDrives  8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The 360 view camera system is available on the 2017 Q7 without the radar cruise control. It's a mystery to me why it's not a part of the Prestige trims on other models without the driver's assistance package. I shouldn't have to pay $2k+ for a package of features I don't need to get one item I want. The image clarity and color saturation is great when the cameras are clean, and fish eye/warp is minimal. I have no idea what Nissan does, since that's not something I care about (unless it's a Z or until they make a proper Maxima).

    • @DieselDrives
      @DieselDrives  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The S6 transmission is a dual clutch auto and it does have steering wheel shift paddles. A manual S6 (even a 3.0 supercharged A6) would be awesome, but it's not available. There is always the S5 and RS5 with the 4.0 TFSI n/a V8, which has quattro and can be had with a 6-speed manual!

    • @bosse641
      @bosse641 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Diesel Review ......manual shifter is a must in a sporty car. ......very strange that Audi can't have that option of choice in the S.

    • @DieselDrives
      @DieselDrives  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Lack of manuals might be due to the fact that a clutch dealing with 408 lb-ft of torque might not be a reliable choice. BMW has taken this route with the M5 long ago. Mercedes never offered it on an AMG either.

    • @bosse641
      @bosse641 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Diesel Review ....I just saw a few reviews on the new Ford Shelby 350. ....and the R. ........mountains of torque. .....and manual transmission. .....if Ford can, then Audi and the others can as well. ....it's about not wanting to give the buyers this option, for some strange reason that maybe only they know. ................All I know is, I like the S6. ....and was it to be had with a manual shifter, I would surely have it on my wish-list.

      @DieselDrives  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Mat Beck Even so, non-US models get more options like matrix LED headlights. Even if someone here paid $130k, the lights aren't allowed by law. Also, the highest speed limit in the US is 85mph, so using the S6 to its full potential is not legal on public roads. Some states charge tax on the purchase. In Los Angeles, the car would be 8.75% higher, so if your prices have VAT, we pay on top of that price.

    • @DieselDrives
      @DieselDrives  8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It depends. For some, a year-round daily driver might require all wheel drive. You can't get the S6 if you wish to have a manual. The S6 has two more doors than the M4, so the M3 might be more ideal. Then again, as far as 4-doors, the S6 is probably more desirable than the M3. Wouldn't you take the M4 over the M3? I would. Which is why I think the M4 and S6 are not comparable.

    • @DieselDrives
      @DieselDrives  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +♡ Kleinr Schmetterling ♡ (Liberty Schulz) in the US, the M5 costs more than the S6 and we don't get the RS4 here. The S6 is larger and more practical on a daily basis than the M3, and most US "buyers" are more than likely going to lease, which means it all comes down to a monthly payment and emotions over practicality.

      The S6 weighs 4,486 Lbs and the A6 TDI weighs 4,277 Lbs. Of course, the 3.0 TFSI is even lighter (4,178 Lbs) and the 2.0 TFSI (3,803 Lbs FWD / 3,957 Lbs quattro) is the lightest. It's hard to believe the S6 weighs 209 Lbs more than the diesel.

The scroll will move through the center display of the instrument cluster depending on the mode you have activated with the left and right buttons. You can activate the map and use the scroll to zoom in or out of the map displayed in the instrument cluster, or you can use the left/right buttons to display the radio and use the scroll wheel to select songs, stations, etc.. If you are on the trip computer display, you can scroll through different display information. Thanks for watching!
