I have an M5 estate and looking at a trade to a 2013 plated RS6 estate, not sure to go for the 4.0 or the older 5.0 version

test driving tomorrow possible so any comments - what to look for will be appreciated

many thanks for all the feedback I am not a great fan of the merc, but the CLS63 is a nice car

I have the BMW M5 estate as I said, but also have a TVR Sagaris for my grin experiences

I drove the RS6 today the car is virtually brand new, the cost is high and will see how much I get off the price to see if I go ahead, it was a good drive, short and sweet but good, car as responsive and easy to manoeuvre - lots of gadgets on the car - as long as it has a big boot, can go then I am hooked, the 4wd makes the car better than the M5 in that respect

Its just the price is at the moment is only thing holding me back, though I can afford to just do it, sometimes I need to just think about stuff first

The car will be used to go from Newcastle to my home in SW France on about 3-4 times a year, general use in the UK when I am here and no track - my TVR Sagaris gives me enough thrills for that every day I drive her which could be tomorrow again

Just traded in the M5 Tourer for a Audi 4.0 RS6 Avant, been out in the Sagaris today though had a lovely drive around Corbridge Hexham area

I collect Audi in January so belated xmas box to me when I return from overseas

Thanks for the comments and responses

Yes I am hoping I enjoy the RS6 everyone who knows I have bought says its a fun car. So will be hard to decide which to drive in the morning next month the TVR Sagaris or the Audi RS6 - or I could drive one and then the next when I bring the other back, or alternate days

Swung, I suppose I just liked and thought what the hell, I can sell on if I don't want it for too long, it drove well - I like to have a estate with a bit of power and Prowse - my Sagaris gives the thrills, this will as well, first Audi I have had ever, so hope its good

Discount was around the 5K mark maybe more as its a demo, if price was over £80 new then I have a bigger discount, but ive bought now, pick up later this month - so I will enjoy.

I never got change to look at the 63 merc, but suppose I can always just look
