Have been a fan of Audi's for a long time.
I have never been able to afford a S or RS model, but always admired them.

My dream car is the RS4 saloon or S4 Avant - until i saw a RS6 Saloon last night. Fantastic road presence.

Were these all made in auto/tiptronic or is manual available?

If only auto/tip why???

Too much torque for a manual box?

Nobody really buys big saloon cars with manual boxes.

all tip yes. The DMS tiptronic upgrade is a must have btw.

Never driven one with this map on it - does it stop the damn thing kicking down all the time?

+1, Amazing difference
as far as kicking down, initially I only really noticed it aound town but I after a while I only really used the paddles which is an instant cure.

There is no manual option on the RS6 full stop.

HTH

the remap mainly means that you can use the paddles like a proper box, there is simply no delay in changing which makes a huge difference.

Is it available on the S4?
