my wife daily drives her RS6. Gas mileage sucks and I wish the tank had 5 more gallons in it. But comfortable, reliable, very fast. She had the E63S Estate and the Panamera Turbo S Sport Turismo before the Audi and this is her favorite.
Great review for real world driving - you have nailed the context of a car with many amazing attributes somehow leaving you a bit cold due to slight disconnect perhaps caused by numerous systems at work. Very well done thanks.
Great car, has been super reliable for me up until its infamous alternator issue. Took a few months due to back order but its back to its amazing self. Great daily
Switching from an F90 M5 comp to this - sacrificing some driving dynamics and pace for something that offers more balance as a daily family car. Going to miss my M5 but you can almost never utilise the peak performance of car this fast (at least not on a public road).
Ive swapped out of one too... Although, im not sure youre losing straight line pace... I think the new car is much torquier than the m5... easier to launch... M5 might have more high rpm pull, although ive run 100-200s in mine, and I use to get low to mid 7s in my m5, and this car runs mid 7s too... M5 is definitely lighter on its feet, but this car (performance) is far better than the base C8 - which I had too. I think as you said as a daily, Ive got the air suspension and its far more compliant... build quality is much better too. I just sold my Cayenne Turbo GT - the new one has been tuned for top end, and its got serious mid rpm flat spots... its strange as its the same engine as the Rs6 perf, but the tune is so different
@@carguy8270 👍 Still getting used to mine and definitely haven’t had enough time in the car to be comfortable pushing it but, overall, really pleased. So much quieter and more comfortable at one end of the scale and it looks incredible. Interior is stunning and the kids love it. Missing things like the steering wheel heater button and my 1-8 favourites but the touch screen thing hasn’t been nearly as painful as I imagined. M5 felt more driver focussed imo (sharper throttle, better steering feel) but, again, I think I need time to get used to the RS6 before I can compare them properly. Certainly no regrets!

Nice, you guys have had some sweet cars. I don’t mind the Panamera myself.

Thank you!
Thank you this is a very entertaining video, I have watched lots😊 of videos on the RS6 and yours was the most fun…
Appreciate it! Thank you for watching
You didn't say why we can't see them.on the rd?!
The white car in the corner is that a Toyota Crown? love the video
It is an Australian-delivered Datsun 260C (coupe). Also known as the Nissan 330-series Cedric.
Best Car in Market !! In Confort is a normal A6 , in RS2 mode is a Ferrari !!
Great car, has been super reliable for me up until its infamous alternator issue. Took a few months due to back order but its back to its amazing self. Great daily
Good to hear
yea, I hate thinking about ending up in Silverwater Jail everyday so I got a 660cc nugget box to keep me at peace xD
I felt the same way. Glad the car is back with Audi 😝
@@CultandClassic Funnily enough, I picked up an Audi Q2 last week that will most def keep me away from Jail haha. Euro nuggets
Epic car. great review.
Thank you!

Ive seen an RS6 completely GAP like 5 busses an M3 competition Sport.
Lol! A proper Gaptism 🤣
hopefully a bad bsg doesn't leave you stranded.
Ditch the wife and get this. Also probably cheaper in the long run.
Haha. I have a good one, she adds value to my life ❤❤❤
