Test drove Audi RS6 yesterday

Oli · 07-21-2008, 03:03 PM

There's an Rs4 Avant local to me, that drives around with a chocolate lab in the back - you can see the slober all over the rear window - nice

CD · 07-21-2008, 04:21 PM

nice write up carlos, certainly sounds like a nice car ! shame its an Audi

as Paul put it in a ealier thread 'Audi's are Gay'

... to be fair i havnt had that much experience of them, my uncle had one when i was about 10 and the best thing about that was it had a posh car phone , oh and i test drove the A5 3.0D which wasnt a bad car that was until i got in the 335D and realised how many worlds they were apart !!!

Oli stop picking on Carlos

If a Porsche dealer`s quite happy to let me drive a 100K Turbo when I turn up in "comfy" trainers and Jeans I can`t see why an Audi dealer wouldn`t let anyone drive an estate or a Gallardo knock-off.

That looks like Audi Stansted. I have never had a problem getting a test drive there. They have offered to let me drive anything they have, perhaps it is because I have bought cars from them.

chrisbin · 07-22-2008, 03:17 AM

Nice car, but not nice enough imo.....Unless you are regularly trans-continental'ing I really dont see the point.....

Oh and Carlos, do you honestly think that someone is going to pay that kind of money for something they havent even driven???????

PhilR · 07-22-2008, 04:18 AM

Nice car (in terms of engineering and technology) with phenominal performance for 2.2 tonnes. But it's an estate and pretty bland.

Cannot think who would really buy one?

Maybe ideal for a TG camera team, following Clarkson tear arsing accross Europe in a sports car.

Personally I would want a little more elegance and panache for £80K. Ala R8?

Best way to enjoy this IMO is to take it for a long test drive - just as you have done Carlos. Enjoy the experience, hand it back and spend your £80K on something else.

Steve A · 07-22-2008, 05:05 AM

The only people who will buy this car are the VVVEEEEEERRRRYYYYY wealthy, who require a new estate, and will buy it because they can.... oh and harry metcalfe.

Im sure enthusiasts will be staying well clear.

On drivers republic they did a test C63 vs RS6 very intersting watch.

Hehe you cracked me up with this one, I'm picturing a poor Lab pressed up against the glass by the G Force with a "oh no, not this again" look on it's face.

Looks awesome.

But I doubt I'll be seeing one here in Norway since it's well over £200000 here.

Cafe.Racer · 07-26-2008, 12:51 PM

I was surprised to see one or two out and about a few weeks ago.

Anyway, Bro's driven it and says "really well put together, really accomplished. Just a bit boring to drive"
