RS6 questions

[Stu R]

Hi folks, don't normally venture into this section but here goes.

After the responses to a thread I posted (15k workhorse in GG) up I'm interested in finding out a bit more about Audi RS6 Avants.

I've no experience of these cars really, and as this is a spur of the moment thread apologies for the lack of research.

Anywhoo, what's the general concensus on these in terms of reliability and running costs?
From what I gather there's some problems with suspension, which looking at the classifieds indicates is usually replaced with coilovers? Also guessing they're fairly heavy on brakes?
What are they like for servicing, guessing a good indie will be ok to use?

Any tips on what to look out for, common problems, things worth asking the seller on first contacting them etc would be much appreciated, as aside from the headline grabbing figures I don't have a clue about them in all honesty

Cheers,
Stu

Thanks Jamie,

I've yet to read anything bad about them, spent a couple of hours on RS246 and even where there's been the odd major problems people seem to think they're worth it, which speaks volumes

Dare I ask how many miles a tank full of motion lotion gets?
