#audi #review #rs6 #avant @AudiAustralia - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Love how you state the facts against buying an SUV
😁
SUVs are a blight on driving experience.
Azad R It appears when people buy SUV’s a frontal lobotomy is free!🤬🤪😆
But can it tow?
@@Hlysander nah man 800nm is very underpowered, the land rover evoque does better 👍
Your smile reviewing the interiors of RS-6 is just like a child getting a surprise Christmas gift..
I think they nailed the look this time.
It’s a stunner!
My dream car, this.
that has to be the horniest looking wagon ever, with a sound track to boot.
This is one of my favorite Audi. I love it soo much, it's going to age sooo well
Agree! The last one still looks damn good!
*That’s hands down the best looking estate car I’ve ever seen. Great video Paul !* 👍💗
And I’m glad they didn’t ruin the facelift design. A lot of cars that came out with a new design recently looks like absolutely shit. *the new RS7 for example*
"If you know what it is, u know what it is. But if you don't, you will know what it is when it blasts past you".
That's such a precise description, loved it
I'm waiting for this channel to blow up! Love your videos!
Thanks!
Your video's make me smile Paul, love your channel.
😁 thank you for watching and sharing!
You just sold me an Audi RS6...brilliant review, see now this is how you do a review of an expensive car, you cover literally everything about it. Goodness that model is fully speced out and it just looks BEAUTIFUL. I'm sold period!
Waited so long for this. Paul thank you for this wonderful review 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it! 😄
CarExpert would be nice if you do a comparison review on the c63 or e63 wagon to RS6, or the new RS4.
you'd rather name this video "The best Audi RS6 review ever"
The information you provided me with is significant
Saw this beast up close when I was driving, and I said to myself I have to check this out on this channel. Awesome review 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾.
Love watching your reviews brother.. I always learn something new
This as a wagon over an SUV any day!
My two negatives for this are - no spare tyre, even a space saver, and the 360 degree camera car is grey and it doesn’t match the car colour so in your demo as you switched it was odd seeing it change... although I know that’s picky ☺️
Very true! It would have been nice for them to match the spec of the car.
Surely this is an SUV? It's a utility vehicle (massive estate) that's really sporty (and has Quattro). It's an SUV!!!!!!!!
This is a beautiful car Paul, looks great in red, love it.
Agreed - love the red 😁
Love the level detail you go into. Great work ! Absolutely gorgeous car. Hard to go for an rs7 when this is sitting next to it in the Audi dealer.
Thanks! 👍 And agreed - I'd do the RS6 any day of the week over an RS7!
Stunning! If I won Lotto I would go straight to the local Audi dealer. This car ticks all the boxes for me - beautiful inside and out, monster engine with sound to match, drives and handles brilliantly and it is practical! If there is a negative it is only that there is not one in my driveway!
Have to say I love seeing that big grin on your face Paul. It makes these reviews so genuine and enjoyable. Well done :)
Ha ha, thank you. It was great fun to drive!
Absolutely love the RS6, if I'd had the money for one I'd still go for the old one with the V10 in it.
Paul you are a legend among us bruh!! Love your reviews!! Audi absolutely nailed the design with this wagon...estate. 👍🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🚗💨💨💨
Thanks mate!
Have one of these missiles on order in North America. This is by far the best video I've seen to date, and I think I've watched them all. Well done...now to grind through the next 3 months...
Thanks mate, appreciate it! Don't forget to share it on social and congrats on the purchase ,they are a sensational car!
Paul, like you, have been reviewing cars the past 15years, I have been watching car reviewers the past 15 years. You are good. In my top 5
Glad you like them!
Love wagons... love the RS line... definitely love the new RS6 Avant. Great review as always. Go the wagons!
What more could you ask for on a monday morning, Paul testing a RS6 😍😍😍
Well done Paul, wagon over the SUV any day 🙋♂️🙋♂️
Ha ha, thank you!
What a car! I want one. Loved the review as always informative and easy to be engaged.
Paul in an RS6 = kids in a candy store! Great review mate! Extra marks for talking people out of SUVs!
Now, just need that div 1 lotto win.
😄
😂😂😂 the smile on Paul’s face at 16:13 sets the scene for what’s to come…wicked review, again! This Audi has always been a the fav for me, fight back on SUV culture.
"Ribbed". 😏
I meant that the car is definitely ripping up the road with that immense power! This car over any SUVs for sure! Loved this review to bits, Paul! 🥳
Props for taking it to the strip. So many Aussie car reviews for this car putt around at the speed limit and not property test the performance.
great and detailed review mate...keep up the great work!
Thanks a ton!
Thanks Paul more like this Please in the Future.
Great review Paul. Fantastic wagon!
Many thanks!
I really love your review Paul. This is a great sports wagon indeed.
One beautiful beast! And great review as is the norm now 😊
Picking up ours in 2 days!! She is fully decked out except for the ceramic brakes. Mythos Black make this car looks unreal 😍😍😍
I have probably watched every single RS6 video on TH-cam since November! Hahaha but this is my absolute favourite review 🙂
Awesome presentation mate 👍👍
Thank you, mate!
That was crazy. Really loving the content you should do the 1/4 drag for every car. Can u please do it for the new dmax all terrain and the 2021 hilux sr5
I'll take this wagon anyday over an SUV ✌🏾😎✌🏾 more stability and alot more boot space
There really aren't many negatives!
That’s correct. More boot space than a hatchback. Same boot space as a Q5
Based on your review Paul. I purchased one and absolutely love it! Thanks @Paul
Love your videos!
love how he said 'its now cheaper' and then u c the huge price difference between the US and Aus
Not sure but I think Paul likes this 😏
Great review. Again 👌🏼
Brilliant review - great job.
Thank you!
Bloody unreal! This is my lotto win car, hands down. Love it!
My 1st division lotto win car.
Until then the VF wagon will have to do. 😁
Why not have both? 😁
Can only dream 😂😂
Nice review btw 👍👍
Definitely a must feature in a mans four car garage, at least until the M3 Wagon arrives.
Great review.
Wow, when he accelerates and you see the trees begin to blur.. that's some power
very fluent instruction, impressive!
Excellent review of a what I feel is the ultimate daily driver. Thank tou
Agreed!
Great review. Best looking wagon for sale.
So doesn't the speed timer start timing when you start moving?
If that's the case, you'll get the same 0-100km/h times with the start/stop feature on or off?
Timer uses an internal gyro to commence timing. As you roll off the brake and on to the throttle the car will inherently likely move slightly. I think the key takeaway here is the 48V system allows it to start almost instantly. The VBox shows a reading to one decimal place, but I suspect if we downloaded the data there'd be a time difference to two decimal places (albeit very small).
Wagon/estate always better than SUV, i'm on my first auto and Outback. Great review Paul, and sounds like your dream choice of wagon/estate!
Absolute dream car material right there
Absolutely agree!
Do it all, truely an ultimate vehicle.
It really doesn’t put a foot wrong.
THis looks absolutely epic. But personally i do like the s7 more, like the body shape, frame-less windows, and yes the light sequences are awesome. or maybe the q8, any reviews in the future for iether of these?
Looks epic!
It just looks so badass
I've got the 4; you're making me wish I'd gone for the 6!!
hey ozzyman do u get the opf? usa/canada don't i wonder about down under...
What a gorgeous piece of machinery
Just clarifying, for that price you only receive a tyre repair kit and not an actual spare tyre? Or did you not show the spare tyre?
this is the real in-depth review. just all information you need by being spoon fed by Paul 😅
Glad it was helpful!
I wonder if they’ll make a performance version like the previous generation here’s hoping! 🤞
Yep to compete with the M5 Comp and Mercedes E63s.
What’s your opinion of the RS6 over the Porsche Panamera Sport Tourismo? I’d have the RS6 based on looks alone.
Also - Look forward to your review of the RSQ8 and comparing that to the equivalent Cayenne Coupe Turbo and X6M
Paul looks happy driving that car
Audi RS6 is great but the RS4 seems like better value. This is only 0.1 seconds faster in quarter mile than an RS4 probably because of the weight. Great review as always Paul 👍
Another great review Paul 👍
If you were to buy one car that has to be your only car for the next 15 years, I think this might be it. Why would anyone buy an SUV?
Re 0-100 tests with the engine on and off, I thought the VBOX only measures time from when the car moves, not from when you hit the pedal, meaning the result is the same as is only starts the clock after the engine is already running. Might be better to show a 3-2-1 GO type test in both engine running states to show the difference there.
Good point - the VBox actually starts recording when the gyro detects motion, which happens when the car starts moving. The car will move slightly during stop/start when the brake pedal is released, so while the results may look identical, they're likely to be a couple of tenths apart, which the VBox doesn't show on screen.
This guy is one of my favourite 😍😍
Love 💓 it Paul 🎖🥇
Excellent review. I think the comfort factor is a big plus, when compared with its direct competitotrs (m5 and e63). This car is $200K+ cheaper than its Panamera and Continental stablemates.
Enjoyed this review, would have been good if you took some shots of the pan roof open
Thanks! We'll keep that in mind for next time.
Looks perfect.
Damnit @CarExpert - I knew I would like the RS6, but now I really want one.
So Paul - RS6 or Supra? :)
Would it be at all possible for your reviews to go into more detail about the actual sound systems and how they sound across different cars?
We did have a think about this, but there's no quantifiable method for us to compare sound systems. It's hard to compare the quality of them with a tool.
Impressive car!
👏👏😄
That is a weapon..... 800NM of torque, love it...
It does 3.1-3.3 0-100 easily and 7.9-8.1 (depending on the tires ) 100-200, this car is a beast
Thank God I don't have the money , how would I be able to choose between this or the rs7?
Imagine the joy of taking delivery of this car, I would be like a kid in a caddy shop
What about screen for ac controls?
@@NoName-md5zb I don't like touch screens that much but am sure anyone would get used to the controls once u get familiar with the car Audis are usually intuitive
@@kmuinde problem is not getting used to it - problem is making something completely stupid and useless and then expecting people to get used to it.
Enjoyed your review. I own one so perhaps I’m looking for affirmation. But as a previous owner of the first gen C7 amd then the Performance, I cannot rave enough about the rear wheel steering and 85% shift to rear to get he gorgeous big ass a round the corners. Night and day versus C7 performance. But I DO miss the engine note. Akrapovic and engine mapping here I come
RS6 is always been apart of my dream 3 car garage as the family hauler and nothing has changed for this generation.
I wonder how long I would cry for once I scrape that CF splitter on a driveway haha.
Bit disappointed the 3d model of the car for the reverse assistant wasn't red.
Just out of curiosity, how are you filming in Melbourne’s lockdown? Is this exempted for work?
I don't believe so. We filmed this prior to lockdown - we're stuck at home just like everybody else, unfortunately.
CarExpert I’m sorry to hear, take care and stay safe
That wide body make it so special in this class.
I think the older V10TT is 100% my favourite RS6. It's so subtle and forgettable I'd love one in grey.
Awesome car and get where you are coming from as perfect Paul, but horses for courses. I honestly couldn't buy that personally over an RSQ8 or really even the SQ8. I live in Queenstown so this may be an antidote for an SUV in town, but it ain't getting up and down some of our ski access roads unscathed. I think the V8 Audi SUVs are a pretty capable performance compromise too, with an even wider practicality.
Its probably worth mentioning that tuned "Stage 1" versions of the previous gen RS6/7 were yielding circa 420AWKW and in excess of 800nm at the wheels aswell.... from nothing more then a tune.
Cant wait to see what these will be are capable of!
Yep I suspect this is very undercooked and the Performance version is likely to make it way faster!
This may sound nuts because i love this car but that quarter mile time is a bit disappointing 11.9 @193 the previous performance model with 445kw ran low to mid 11s @ nearly 200, i though that since bmw m5 and e63 had been out for approx 18 months when audi finally released the rs6 that they would trump their competition
We ended up getting a better time in a subsequent run of 11.7. Keep in mind as well the outgoing car was the performance spec. This is the ‘base’ RS6 - once the performance version lands it should (hopefully) be quicker than the old one.
@@CarExpertAus Have you heard if there will be a performance version ?
They haven’t confirmed it - but I’d bet my life on one coming!
Thanks
Very nice
Agreed 😁
Can this Audi RS6 Avant take on the AMG E 63 S Estate? That would be a fantastic comparison.
Yes - unfortunately we don't get the E63 wagon in Australia! 😪
@@CarExpertAus Thank you for the response. What's your business email?
Looks like its filmed somwhere in central Vic?
Sure is!
The look after “ribbed feeling” 😂
😄
Be still my beating heart!!!
Great video Paul 👌
#suvsareboring
There is no difference between the 0-100 times for start stop on/off, as your VBOX only starts timing after the vehicle moves. There would be a slightly delay if you look at timing from when the accelerator is first pressed.
Seeing you with your hands on this, I'd love to see you do a review on a Tesla model S performance. Actually a cheaper car and packs a mightier punch under the hood but interested to see your take on interior and practicality etc.
Growing accustomed to your honest critiques. The consistency of your little process makes it way easier to get a feel for the cars I have yet to sit in.
Tesla is electric. This is petrol
@@NoName-md5zb Correct. What's your point?
@@jasonlast7091 you are comparing these two
@@NoName-md5zb Yes, that's what you do with things that are different. You compare them.
@@jasonlast7091 compare table with a banana
Is this better than the porsche panamera sport turismo gts?
Nice review!
Considering this car is the ultimate daily driver, I would have it with the rear wheel steering. I have used it in the X5, and it really helps when daily driving, the turning circle is impressive and you get used to the 'sideways' feeling in corners. I understand that it doesn't feel as authentic as normal steering, but the turning circle in the M5 is pretty bad from experience, which I would expect is similar to the RS6 without it.
Cars these days with all the safety systems will always feel less connected to the road, so we might as well accept it and start "reinventing" the wheels.
Good point!
Love this car, thanks for reviewing it. But I still prefer the smaller RS4. What bout you?
RS6 for me 😁 I like the RS4 as well, but just can’t get past the beasty V8 in this.
CarExpert yeah! The V8 makes all the difference!
I’m planning on buying a 2020 RS6 as it’s my dream car..... in 2044 when it’s down to a price I can afford.
