It was not my first choice, I went to look at a Nissan GT-R with my two kids who are 6 and 8, but the room in the back of the GT-R was non existent for them. Decided to test drive this after looking at a AM DB9 which was also too small. I was sold on the RS6 the first time I put my foot down!

Excellent purchase!

Man you have gone from a fairly fast car (with slightly feeble torque) to a car with a hyperspace button for an accelerator pedal!

Enjoy that beauty!

Stunning bit of kit, I'd have one over the nissan even if the rear space wasn't needed.

That sums it up in a nutshell. I warmed the RX8 up today and wish I had not. i want my memories of it to be untarnished. I loved it while I had it and the handling is still sublime, it is just nowhere near the same league as this. I am still in awe of the RS6

Yeah, I do not regret the purchase at all. It does everything and must be one of the best all-rounders out there. The cockpit It is a nice place to be too.

Oh yes! There is an MRC tuned RS6 in Bournemouth with 780bhp, which involves a remap and exhaust iirc. Mental yes.
Want yes.

Great family transport choice sir, much respect.

I've been working in the same industry for 28 years (Oil Exploration, Offshore). I finally decided to spend some money on myself. I'm 47 soon and don't want to be too old to appreciate something like this. Strangely, my ambition was to have a Boxster by 50. I really do not know what I am gonna do to top this. Any suggestions are welcome...

Wow! Not one negative comment. Even though I was sure about the car the first time I put my foot down, The support give here has reinforced my decision in full. Thanks so much.

Well, this is the expression of what Audi wants people to think its cars are. The sports tuned suspension, bodykit and massive wheels actually have a point here, rather than hiding the fact that you're rocking a 1.9 TDi.

So substance over style - a proper PH car. biggrin

If someone doesn't like your car, then they don't have petrol in their veins. smile

Superb colour too!

I've already complimented this once but I shall do so again, it's one of the coolest cars I've seen in the north east!
