I bought an Audi RS2 Avant! The RS2 is the first-ever Audi RS car, and it's my dream fast wagon -- and I'm SO EXCITED that I have one. Today I'm reviewing the RS2, and I'll show you all the quirks and features of a very, very special Audi.

I think I'm more excited for this car than any car I've owned before. A decade-long dream fulfilled!!!
Looking forward to Doug-cember
You've made a great choice.
Please include Persian subtitles for the videos
That RS2 Avant is way Cooler then i expected
This has been one of my dream cars. Neat to see it, feels a bit simulation like. A bit outside of the price range, I am not sure i this helps :(
5 years later: THISSSSSSSSSS is a Carrera GT. In fact, it's MY Carrera GT
Edit: Doug you madlad, it took you only 2 years but you did it
I think its gonna be sooner than that
I hope he does! Dougy boi earned it all imo
I hope so. Most car youtubers are annoying but I would be happy if Doug got his dream car
That would be really cool
I really Hope that happen
Cars and bids is actually a front for Doug's illegal cargo shorts manufacturing business.
Black market from Canada!
Whole new meaning to money laundering
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Most dudes in their mid 30s never stopped wearing cargo shorts. They'll come back into style eventually.
@@PatrickRob82 in that case, I identify as mid 30s
As an european car guy I'm truly happy that YOU out of all people own RS2 in states.
Me too!!! I had the chance to own one back in 1999 when I was living in Edinburgh - it was one of the scariest cars (in a good way) I ever drove!! I was fortunate to live where great country roads were 5 minutes away and I lived 50 miles away from work so got to drive it every day on backroads where I could drive like the lunatic I was back then. Never scared myself as much when I was driving that car without a care for speed limits. Most fun I ever had on four wheels!
Same😍
Yes
If the Audi dealership cant help maybe Porsche can.
Reminds me of that Porsche 111 tractor commercial if you have to go to a Porsche dealership to get help
God no, it is an atrocity to put 4 doors and a hatchback on a porsche
@@scottwest5704 never! Go test drive a Macan GTS or turbo. They have no right to handle as well as they do! Maybe look like a big lump, but theres still Porsche in the DNA...
Just call the European dealer, no problems here.
@@Casloveskim one thing you HAVE to go to Audi for are brake disks & pads. Don't be fooled into thinking Porsche parts will fit. As apparently although they were supposedly from a 968, they don't fit. Something to do with the PCD or offset as I recall.
Doug: "I love love love how it looks!"
Also Doug: Styling: "It gets a 7 out of 10."
He loves how it looks as a station wagon. It’s not a supercar to get a 10.
frankly its not more than a 7, but its hella good
3 at best
@@DK-jd8bj you *child*
Doug: i love love love my wife
Also Doug : but shes a 7 out of 10
Doug is like if Quentin Tarantino had a passion for cars, it's really admirable to see you this excited.
Man I so agree with this, I love Doug because he's just so goddamn wholesome and passionate about cars, literally is like a kid when it comes to cars he loves, and it brings a smile to my face. I'm passionate about a number of things and have a lot of hobbies I love, but I'm not sure I could ever be as excited about something as Doug is about this car!
I also really appreciate how he doesn't let his own bias get too in the way of his Doug Scores! I've always noticed how objective he tries to be when rating cars (no matter how much he personally likes them) and pointing out various cons about his own car that he loves oh so much really told me how dedicated he is to trying to rate vehicles fairly.
Seeing the sparkle in Doug's eyes as he is talking about this car puts a smile on my face
He’s gonna sell it in a couple of months or a year anyways
@@Sevan_UP Who do you think he is, Hoovie?
You know a car is special when Doug's _"THIS"_ takes the wind out of him....

THISSSSSS is the starting of Doug cember and I cannot wait for the Bugatti divo review.
I'm most excited for the OG Viper review.
I saw that immediately and am very excited
Cant wait for the Alfa RZ
Dougcember is comiiing
Can not wait
Finally someone talks about the Divo
I swear Doug is starting to buy cars more than hoovie at this point
He used to buy a lot more cars
I agree!
@@yeety1208 but he never kept them
Hoovie definitely be on his shit
Actual functioning cars though.
Doug. I couldn't be happier for you. HUGE congrats! I know how it feels, cause I felt the same when I finally bought a 2001 Nogaro Blue RS4 B5 Avant (which I think is the coolest Audi ever made), after searching for it for over 15 years. I bought it 5 years ago, and still look back at it every single day and can't believe it's mine. It sits nice in my garage next to my 2008 RS4 B7 Saloon and the 2017 RS6 C7.5 Avant. Again, so happy for you!
Beautiful car, had a b5 s4. What a blast to drive.
LMAO!!
Hey @Auditography Are you congratulating Doug or flexing on him ? Lol
Love my audis as well. How are your cars for reliability?
For me, the b5 rs4 is the most beautiful staton wagon ever made
Doug is the type of guy to buy car so rare that even the dealers that sell that brand don't know about the existence of that car.
To be fare that's not too high a bar depending where you live. I had to explain to the salesman that the R-spec was a trim when I went to buy it. (Disclaimer: he normally was in the used lot and was wonderful)
I find that inexcusable.
You can really hear the pure joy and excitement in his voice. He’s truly so happy he has this car. Happy for you, Doug!
You can tell how genuinely excited Doug is from his voice cracking like an overwhelmed teenager. Nice choice 👌!
You can tell how excited he is for this car. Congrats Doug.
His face is basically your profile picture
Seriously just listening to him I got happy, I don't even care for Audi let alone an audi from the 90's.
I’m from Switzerland and can attest that these cars were indeed racing up the mountains during 90s winters:-)
But totay you'd pay more for this than you paid for the car. And you'd sit in jail.
@@Cptn080
And then they'd auction off your car.
@@X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X word is they are floating the idea of forcing speeders to watch their pets being catapulted. They are downright medieval when it comes to speeders.
THISSSS "is quite tight in the back".
THAAAAAAT is what she said.
I saw the Hotwheels of this car in Walmart today, and I was like "where do I recognize that car" then it hit me! 5 minutes later I'm waking out of Walmart with '94 Audi Avant RS2 and some fireworks.
Did you buy it?
Was it nogaro blue and priced at $700?
If "there is no such car as an RS2" coming from an AUDI dealership, doesnt SCREAM America! i don't know what does..
Dealerships are a cancerous tumour in manufacturing sales tbh and I can't wait till we can buy from the manufacturer directly
Saying the word PorshA maybe?
This legit pissed me of, what kind of moron works at audi and DOENST KNOW THIS CAR??!! Fire these people immediately!
@@Peer0351 Totally agree. Can't imagine such shit taking place in europe tho
I’d drive it down there and show them.
Doug is rolling in cars & bids money and he deserves it
it is written "ARGE AUDI/PORSCHE RS2" - ARGE usually stands for Arbeitsgemeinschaft and means "working group"
Deutschelandd
LMAO!!
Anybody else see that long ass German word and just skip right over it?
I had one of those and several UR quattro's all of which I no longer have and regret. In the late 1980's and early 90's these were considered really fast, mainly because compared to the competition, the 4WD put it miles ahead. The 5 cylinder engine still sounds mean today. I never imagined how much they would appreciate.
In Spain this car was advertised as follows: "Dad when are we taking off?"
Growing up in Germany I really loved this car. Someone owned one in my home town. so I got to see it every once in a while. I fell in love especially with the rear lightbar and the (back then) crazy color and I would of course love to own one today. 😎
I’ve seen this car in person, this is from Calgary 🇨🇦 insane! 💯
Feel bad for you living in that cold ass dump
@@norm1233 Edmontonian here- at some point the cold has a certain charm!...
wow thats cool to know...small world lol
Same man
I remember browsing Kijiji and seeing this car and going "who the hell is gonna buy this?!". Doug. Doug would
The legendary 5cylinder engine, straight from the Quattro S1 with the most beautiful sound
Doug the kind of guy to say “pretty boss” about owning an RS2 Avant
He’s been watching too much Michael Scott, pretty boss of him 😎
DREAM CAR! Congrats!
okay so i had a question that i figured you would know about. i have a huion h16 pro tablet and i was wondering if it is good. i was also wondering what you use. i love your content sketch monkey keep up the good work
OMG TSM wow i didnt expect you here!!!
But after the rs2 video you did, i understand why youre here :)
@@hiljicardrawings3467 I have a huion it's very good no problems so far
@@TehCheeezyPoofz aight thanks i’ve had it for years now but never used it
Love your vids man!
I had one as a kid growing up in Germany. It was a 92 s2 avant. My dad was into buying and selling cars so we had it for around a yr before selling it in 99. It was my favorite car to drive growing up, our neighbor who was also my dads business partner drove an S6 diesel (can’t remember what yr model). Awesome video.
Honestly, this car is more interesting to me than the Land Rover Defender he bought.
No shit
No kidding, he bought the defender for daily use. He bought this because its a cool dream car
Way more interesting. But the whole channel is becoming Hoovie's Garage except we only hear about purchases once and then maybe a year ownership report. I'd rather he buy broke ass cars tbh.
@@noobeenaut I bet reliability-wise it'll end up being the other way around
Man, you can hear how happy Doug is. Congratulations, man. You deserve it.
meanwhile the city where i live in in germany, a guy dailys a red one, he was almost surprised someone recognized it, as it flies under the radar so much
Doug: most famous audi of all time
Audi: Rs2? Doesnt exist.
That's why the only old premium performance car you buy is a Porsche.
He might be better off having it serviced by a Porsche dealer/specialist
Audi dealer across US: RS2? Doesn't exist.
Literally the whole Ingolstadt: Let us explain to you how deeply wrong you are...
2nd most famous, after the Quattro. But yeah, those Audi dealers should really have some knowledge of the company's history...
@@ThorsteinKlingenberg oh wow yet another biased porsche fan 🙄
Doug was almost this excited on his wedding day.
He married a car, didn’t you know?
There was an S2 avant at the same time which was really the base for this car, it had the same basic running gear, I have owned both models and they are both great the main difference was you have to work the RS due to the added lag on the turbo. They are pretty bullet proof the only real work I had to do on mine was a clutch replacement as the only way to get the quoted 0-60 you have to use the revs and drop the clutch. This is one car I regret selling, much more engaging than my current RS 4 which is full of pointless computer invasive crap some of which you can't turn off.
This guy could show me the quirks and features of a bicycle and I’d still watch.
You underestimate cycling I guess
I mean, bycicles are interesting tho...
And it'd be cool if Doug actually did a tour of a bike made by a car company on his second channel. Like that $18k lamborghini bicycle.
But if you actually like cars this channel is 2x better
Yeah wished he did more house reviews
@@haziqhashim2618 Bikes can be pretty complex. Good, mid level ones can even go for 10 k for a road or mountain bike.
im from europe, tried to buy one too for a reasonable price -- i wouldn't be able to buy a good one here under $70k here either, you had a pretty good deal there
Good choice Doug!!!!
Euh bonsoir 😂
He cant even speak Porsche right
This car is so amazing. How have i never heard of this legendary car! A fucking Audi Porsche lol...
Bonsoir le vendeur automobiles!
@@mrniceman1684 that's the correct way too pronounce it😑
The original high performance wagon is such a notorious designation. The amazing badges aside, which are fucking insane. CDN buyer I admire. Love this car. Doug hypes like no other buy c'mon this is just great.
A little disappointed that he didn't mention an obvious quirk: The levers to fold the front seats forward... On a car with rear doors.
And they are both on the same side, which is weird.
@TacoMeat FijiWater I figured it was something like that, but it's a quirk nonetheless.
recaro puts them on everything
Doug punching the air rn
Doug always misses shit
"I'm not one of those youtubers that just buys a car a month to make videos"
I knew you'd come around 😉
Keyterm here is "a month"
None of them can hold back
I really like that Doug shows what cars he will review in the future during the mini Cars and Bids ad. :)
Yesssss
This is the reason why he wore an RS2 AVANT t-shirt in his RAM TRX review
hi telugu peep
Hi Doug, congratulations what for a beauty! Rs2 current pricing in Germany starts from 50k EUROS in Switzerland 60k CHF. This was always my dream car. Currently, I am thinking of getting one before prices will go even higher. Friend of mine owns one which is stored in garage since 10 years.... Unfortunately not willing to sell it 😢. Greetings from 🇨🇭
34 minutes and you didn’t mention that the headrest has HOLES
That was fairly common back then but they should bring it back for better visibility.
yea it was really common with european cars of the time
ALLSO according to the factory book the reason für the holes are so that u could see thro them and allso factory made accessories, one of them is a extra head cushion that goes inside dat hole and gives more softer support to your head :D
Doug, I've been watching your videos for about 6 months now and I just want to say I love how excited you get about this stuff, I see a lot of myself in that!
I was born and raised in Brasil and my family immigrated to Canada in 1998. We didn't have much money growing up, but I always loved cars, all sorts of different cars, especially the weird ones. In 2007 my parents bought me a PS2 and it came with Gran Turismo 4, and I sank days and days into playing that game, and my love for cars grew to epic proportions. I knew I wanted to drive some of these cars one day, but I also knew money would be an issue.
And so I began my academic journey. I busted my hump through high school and university, and although I was never the smartest, I worked very hard. I took the LSAT not once, but twice, and eventually landed a position at a great law school in Canada. Upon graduation, I got a great job at a law firm in Calgary, and for the first time in my life, I was making real money.
And then I started feeling nostalgic over those long days and nights in my parents' tiny townhouse, playing Gran Turismo, and I thought to myself, I think I should finally get myself something that I'll love to drive. And so as of last months, I am officially the proud owner of a 2018 Audi S3. It is the nicest car I've ever owned (or anyone in my family has ever owned), and I felt the same excitement that you express when you review these cars - this was the moment where I finally understood.
So in so many words, THANK YOU DOUG. Your videos are awesome, your genuine excitement is awesome, and just keep doing what you're doing!
There were some Seat models in the late 80's that had Porsche logo under the hood. For example the 1984 Seat Ibiza had an engine that said "Seat System Porsche" on the engine. And it was a 1.2l engine. Now that's something unusual.
True, our family car in the '90 was a (quirky and very unknown) Seat Malaga. Under the hood, a carburated 1.5 4cyl with "Porsche" in big letters. To me as a kid, it was quite cool. Those were the times when SEAT was switching from the FIAT group to the VW group.
This motor had a great sound, but low performances... :/
Sounds like a great OEM "sleeper" car! You could blow the doors off plenty of unsuspecting sports cars in that!
@Doug DeMuro, just an correction. The RS2 did never come with an boost gauge original i the center vent. Thas an aftermarket.
In the next 5 years, I bet Doug will sell his ford gt and buy a carrega gt
Nah he'll just add the Carrera to his collection and I can't wait. Few people appreciate the Carrera like Daddy Doug
Doug is already crazy successful as a TH-camr but I love so much that carsandbids is taking off for him. Doug deserves it all :)
it's really wholesome how he loves this car. kinda makes you love it too.
When Doug Was talking about cars and bids,did I just see a buggati divo😦
Ah yea, the Bugatti divorce
@@shept.7736 huh??
Should’ve gotten that more reliable, Bugatti Prenup
@@JagHeterAlfred ^^
noo u saw a mango
So on top of all the "1st ever car that does that" the rs2 was also the 1st legal sleeper car ever made. Fking love It!
I was really hoping he would have given it 10's across the board for the doug score.
When they first came out I was so jealous of the lucky few who had one. Yes, I live in Germany.
Dougcember kicks off with a new Dougcar. This will be a great month.
Doug: " I can´t afford to spend more then 40k on a daily driver!"
Also Doug: Spends 140k on a daily driver and a 25 year old Audi IN ONE MONTH!
Loool
Because daily driver gonna loose in value but this audi as he mentioned gonna probably only go up so he shouldnt loose money on it unless he rly has lots of mechanical issues with it
😂😂😂😂😂 truth
💯💔
@@BlackPointt His brand new Defender has already lost 10% of its value.
The estate version of the C43 AMG 1998-2000 definitely took quite a bit of inspiration from this.

Nah, barbie Jeep
I’ll give you my life savings for that car. By that I mean $3200.
My Father was a Audi Fan and i always thought Audi was way better then BMW and Mercedes Benz.
The First Car i remember is an Audi 100 in Silver. Later we got a Audi 500 Turbo, a Audi 80 and then 2 times an Audi A6 Normal and Avant and later a A4 and a A3.
It's funny how "at home" i'm feeling right now, watching the interiors of the car. :)
Audi rs in a nutshell
Porsche: broke af.
Audi: Yo heres a shit ton of money make this wagon fast af.

I swear doug’s car purchases are just so random this video popped outta nowhere 😭😂
But not so bad choices
How is this inconsistent and random? This is a holy grail enthusiast car
This is a very well known car that is widely respected. Who are the 50 idiots who liked this lol? Do you expect him to buy 20 BMWs? I don’t understand.
Y'all he's just saying that the car reveals have been random/unexpected not that the car is bad. I certainly wasn't expecting this car at all
@@Littlevil69420 yes I watch him but the cars he gets are kinda random that’s all. I respect his choices
12:35 it's not unused space! there are some reflectors. It helps for safety in the traffic. The guy of the car after you can see you better if you have these. Look how look a Volvo.
Congrats Doug....such a clean car, nice find. Here in Europe it is a legendary car most car nuts know, must be cool to have it in the US, where it must be less known
The BMW E34 M5 Touring was the original power wagon. Before the RS2.
Thank you for pointing this out. When Doug said this Audi was " original performance wagon" the BMW 5 immediately crossed my mind. Was this Audi a one-up on the BMW?
4:19 I’ve been waiting for Doug to call out the wheels I knew from the start hey were re center capped porche wheels
Doug: I hate buying cars as an investment
Also Doug: ...
I havent watched the entire video to know but i never saw doug buy a car to invest , he only bought cars he wanted since he stopped doing the ones people asked
@@Gorecatto no he actually says towards the end how it 'will only increase in value' especially in the colour he got. I mean he will still drive it, and thats what important at the end of the day
ARGE Audi Porsche is the make, ARGE being German for "Arbeitsgemeinschaft" > "Working Group"
Just wanted to say exactly that.
Miit dem Video von Doug hab ich jetzt aber nicht gerechnet. Er weiß schon was er mag, German engineering! Prost! :)
seeing Doug review this Audi wagon has given me hope that he will review the Saab 9-2x in the future lol
Does anyone else like the 90s and early 2000s generation of German cars, the 90s Audi’s, BMWs, and Mercedes are just timeless.
Agreed. Some of my favorite cars in general.
German cars were the shit back then , niw they are junk.
Came across your video and I do feel for you, especially with the bit about the parts. I have a blue right hand drive one for the last 24 years. I think maybe 180 rhd's were made at the time. Parts were not easy to come by and I gave up on my local dealer a long time ago. The reason: all those that have worked on this car has left. A bit better than the excuses you got. At least they have heard of it. Thanks for taking the time to share. Your RS2 looks fantastic!
Proper enthusiast's wagon this Audi. Probably the first true petrolhead's car in Doug's garage.
lol, no. That would be the R32 GT-R
@@intranix Doug's Ferrari and GT were exotics. But the R32 wasn't kitted out. Plus, this is the ultimate sleeper and engineered by Porsche as well as a mordern classic. What's not to like???
@@achintyaaatreya im not saying anything at all about the RS2, great car. But it's 100% not his first "true petrolheads" car, that would be the R32 GTR or his ferrari, I cannot remember which he had first but both around the same time.
What about his Ford GT?

Are we gonna ignore that Doug showed he was in front of a brand new Bugatti? Hinting at a review coming up!
He showed that in Instagram many days ago.
That's usually how it goes. Divo review gonna be crazy
@@mohammadzohorul8887 I got rid of my instagram before it was cool bro.
Old video, but at the 12:05 mark, Doug talks about the light bar across the back of the RS2....this is obviously another nod to Porsche as the 964 of the period has a mostly non functioning light bar across the whole rear of the car.
I respect that Doug says "Porsche" istead of "Porsh" like other
Even Jay Leno intentionally mispronounces "Porsche". Even though he clearly knows better. I like that Doug shows more respect than Jay Leno does.
Exactly!
Doug did work for Porsche US before his TH-cam career.
No he says "Porscha"...
@Pokiman it is not actually, german words are almost literally pronounced. It is hard time understanding it for english speaking people😅
Enabling the radio to work without turning the engine on was a common mod that a lot of car owners did in the 80s/90s.
casually talks about cars and bids in front of a bugatti divo - something only doug would do
Dude I can't believe he managed to get a divo
He cut out the part where the owner chased him off the property. Now that would be funny.
1 word: Dougcember!!!!
Nice car bro! It’s a very rare car! Greetings from germany

No, that boost gauge did not came from factory. That is an aftermarket addition
Well said! I recall that the boost gauge is in the digital panel in the instrument cluster
@@arthurdardalis I think there is no boost gauge on these cars. I have an S2 and is has none. And RS2 interior is almost identical
@@adriromas2 You are correct this boost gauge is aftermarket, the RS2 did not come with a boost gauge, I used to own one back in the days.
The S4 of that time had a boost gauge in the "MMI" of the time, but the S2 that the RS2 is built on did not have it, and it was not implemented on the the RS2.

Audi and Porsche making cars
Meanwhile Volkswagen: I like how my kids are playing together :)
Yes, back in those days I think Porsche and Audi wasn't under the VW group umbrella
David Bressano Audi was, and while Porsche wasn’t, VW and Porsche have always worked fairly closely because of them both starting with Ferdinand Porsche and both companies being ran by the Porsche/Piëch families.
