Same here! I got to rent one in LA this year and it actually exceeded my already high expectations. I'd rather have this over an R8, M2, M3, or 911 (have driven all of these too). This car just does it all. With air suspension it's really comfortable for daily use.
@@ramses8847 I rented one and found it very disappointing. This Audi RS6 really is overpriced. A new Nissan Versa is more fun to drive and more reliable!
The problem is not that the enthusiast crowd doesn't buy performance wagons. The problem is that performance wagons have almost completely been priced out of reach for the enthusiast crowd. If you are looking for one vehicle that does most things very well and is fun to drive, the RS6 is it. Audi does a very good job of making this car desirable. If money were no object, you could only have 1 car, and needed something practical and fun, especially in places with snow, I can't think of a better new option currently available in North America. However, you can get a well equipped Mustang GT Premium and a well equipped MB Metris for a bit over 50k each brand new. While I wouldn't say the Mustang is a more fun car, it is still fun, and the Metris certainly has more cargo room. The pair would save between 10k-20k compared to this one car and check almost all of the same boxes, while giving you a back-up vehicle if one is getting serviced or breaks down. Sticking within the same $130k, you could replace the Metris with an AWD crew configuration of the Sprinter, just not as fully optioned as the Metris.
I love these fast wagons but I have to agree with you. They just are way too expensive for most enthusiasts. The biggest competitor to these fast wagons is used fast wagons, if anything, and that's a problem.
Alex, You are so correct, wagons rule!!! 🥳🥳🥳That's why I would buy three 243 hp Crown Signia XLEs in Copper, Blue and Red hues if I had a wagon-buying budget sufficient to purchase one RS6. With a total of 729 hp, 15 person seating capacity and an average fleet mpg of 40 on Regular gas, the trio of Signias is clearly the way to go. 🤩🤩🤩To be fair, Audi must be credited for their highly adaptable 40/20/40 rear seat 🙌🙌🙌 Toyota's decision to give the Signia silly extension flaps that flop instead of a classic 40/20/40 second row is inexplicable. 🤔
@@Mgoblagulkablong I believed all the journalist calling the Signa a wagon in their reviews until I saw one in person. Imagine barely squeezing a Venza like a tube of toothpaste from the front. Its still a very tall and big suv compared to my 5th gen prius parked next to it
Sadly they would have had to make the module bigger. The amber signal in Europe is just a bit too small in terms of sq in of area to meet FMVSS standards.
Once again, Alex hits the nail on the head. This vehicle is incredible. This said, I'm not nearly as offended by piano black finishes as Alex laments. all. the. time.
This segment of crossover suvs is impressive with more than dozen vehicles of the same dimensions with prices from $40,000 to $140,000 sweet spot of the automobile industry compared too 3 minivans
I like the look of it for the most part. Touch screen for the often used functions...Hvac, seats, infotainment is not the greatest idea. Finger prints everywhere. Like your reviews.
I know it’s every car enthusiast’s wet dream, but unless you are so filthy rich that you won’t blink at spending this amount of cash on a car right out of pocket, how many of you would spend 130k on just one car that sorta does it all? All in one product is always a compromise in some aspect, and in this case a big one in ride height and space. Just buy a real sports car like a roadster and a proper suv, for me, that’s money better way spent.
I don’t even know why Europeans like these. They’re even more expensive in Europe because of the taxes and that’s where they sell best. We Americans are lucky with having cheap V8 cars.
@@faheemabbas3965I think road system and parking over there is much tighter, which kills the big old SUV as you can’t move yourself around easily. So wagon is clearly the next best choice being relatively small while spacious inside. If you live in US you should live just like how the environment allows you to, get big old cars.
there is no shortage of super-wagons in US. there is the Porsche Panamera Wagon, There is Porsche Taycan Wagon, there is BMW M5 Wagon Coming. the real problem is we don't get any regular ( non-super ) wagons that people can actually afford. None from Germany anyway. I read an article that quotes German Executives and Dealers as saying this is deliberate - they are afraid affordable wagons will ruin the prestige of Super-Wagons in US. Or rather we do get German wagons in America OCCASIONALLY but they are always offered only temporarily to keep overall numbers on the market low to protect that Super-Wagon image.
Love the RS6 but even used just way too much $$$. I have a Much better chance of getting a Jag F-Pace SVR after it’s 2-3 years old. $40k to start less than the Audi. Yes wagon to SUV but as much as I love wagons not paying a 30% markup for the privilege.
I own a M3 Touring. Ironically it's way faster than RS4 Avant (I test drove both) and is about the same speed as RS6 so it is a good bet that the M5 Touring will absolutely destroy the RS6.
The best car in America is the 2025 Nissan Versa SR. Fully loaded fuel efficient, easy to park, huge trunk, and surprisingly fun to drive car for around 20k brand new. How can the 2025 Audi RS6 Avant be the best car in America when 90 percent of Americans cannot afford them? This Audi starts at 130 thousand US dollars!
I tend to agree with the initial sentiment, value for money is certainly important. But you lost me at implying that it has to be the only factor when thinking of what is “best.”
@@ALMX5DP It's not the only factor, affordability is the other factor. How can this overpriced super expensive 130k-250k Audi be the best car in America when the overwhelming majority of Americans won't even be allowed to sit inside one?
@@johnkonde1975the term best can take on many connotations. Heck even a new Nissan isn’t affordable by many, so maybe we should say the best vehicle is a metro area bus, or a used jalopy, or a bicycle?
@@ALMX5DP I mean power to weight ratio are about the same on both.. nobody has driven the new m5 yet so the jury is still out there.. but with the electric motor I’d wager the M5 gets off the line faster
I love the RS6 avant. It's among my favorite cars today, and if I had to be stuck with one car or only had room for one car, and money was no object, my choice would be the RS6 or E63 AMG waon. The issue is, they cost nearly 100k, have priced out most enthusiasts, and that scenario of unlimited money and one car to do everything is basically non-existent. Most enthusiasts see the price of this and feel you can buy 2 cars for the price of this one. Heck, look in the VW family and you can get a GTI and a Q5 for the price of 100k. You have your fun, hot hatchback for the weekends. And then you have your all-weather, fun SUV for hauling. That's the issue with this car. The biggest competitor is buying 2 cars, and used fast wagons
I love my current car, a 2021 Audi e-tron. It's got similar cargo capacity, similar creature comfort, the dash looks basically the same as this wild ride and I got it used for $37,500. It doesn't handle as well as the RS6 but it is still a HOOT to drive like a maniac. I cruise in Comfort mode, drive like a hooligan in Dynamic mode, and pay 2% extra to charge it at home on fully renewable energy. Does it ever suck to have only 164 miles of range on an 80% charge? Sure, but by the time Ihave a bathroom break and buy snacks it's back up to 80% so it's basically the perfect car for me.
Could just get a Kia EV6 for your wagon, and have money left over to buy a civic hybrid hatch for your road tripper just so that you don't have to be like the rest of the peasants waiting for or their cars to charge. I really wish the Kia/Hyundai group would make a really cheap PHEV true wagon, not CUV that is squished and basically looks like a wagon. A wagon actually attainable by someone would be a nice market addition.
I previously owned an A4 Avant. Nice rare car. What I would to see here in America is the A3 Sportback 40 TSFI e it is a PHEV with 88 mile range. It goes on sale in Blighty in November.
Really i see 0 appeal to this. Id rent one to launch it a few times but then id happily hand it back. Interior sucks, no functionality, all screens. Cargo capacity is fine until you need an item thats tall and it doesnt fit because its not square. Id rather buy a number of practical daily drivers and then buy a stupid powerful sports car for weekend driving seperately that isnt compromised, as were talking about someone who can afford a 130k vehicle. A toyota crown signia for 50,000 and your choice of 80,000 dollar, uncompromised sports car (hopefully with a manual) would be better. Idk what it is with the vw brand lovers, my coworker is on gulf gti #4 as his previous 3 all had engine problems. At the first sign of problems he just trades it in for a new one and hes been rocking that for 7 years. The lexus i have now is older than his first gti, is all on the original power train and has almost as many miles as 3 of his gti's put together
It is over over priced. Situation on Chinese market with European cars sell shows it clearly. 1 little thing that shows it is not the best car- No buttons climate control is nothing, but reduction in price for manufacturer, despite the fact it reduces safety while driving, but the car itself costs so much! It’s greed!!! And why all Audis have such a tiny storage under the central hand rest? I never could understand🤷🏻♂️
That's not a station wagon. A real station wagon is, for example, Ford's Country Squire Wagons from the 1970s. The cargo capacity of any model year of one of those would put this Avant to shame. Plus the Countey Squires also have a full-sized spare tire.
@@faheemabbas3965 Yeah, I know. I lived there for a couple of years. Narrow roads, tiny parking spaces and if a house has a garage, it's a small one. Doesn't change the fact that it's not a real station wagon. 🙂 I had a complaint when Lincoln "brought back" the Continental and it was barely longer than the full-sized Taurus I had at that time. To be worthy of the name it should have been huge like the land yacht Continentals of the past.
Obviously, you or any of the "10 out of 10" journalist are lacking the Audi dealer experience. Anyone with masochistic tendencies who wants to blow their money on insanely overpriced cars while being treated like garbage by a bunch of arrogant ...Audi is for you!
No thanks--not that I'm in the market for a $120,000 wagon! That infotainment and climate control touchscreen should be put to pasture. Besides, how much does this porker weigh? 5000 lbs.?
It's rwd in that the engine and trans connect to the rear wheels by design and a transfer case is bolted onto the trans to connect the front axle. Like every other rwd car...
It is not FWD based, the platform is RWD based but there is a FWD model. That's a completely different animal than a "FWD based" platform. The FWD model uses a RWD transmission with a rear axle delete and a transfer case that sends power only to the front axle.
@@AAutoBuyersGuide What has gotten into you? You yourself explained in the video how engine and transmission are further forward in the vehicle than in RWD cars. SO why on earth do you call a platform that comes standard as FWD and is NOT available wit RWD "RWD based"? It makes absolutely zero sense. Let me guess, "Audi said so"? LOL
