New RS6 owner reviews please

[Plumo27]

Thinking of an RS6, any owner reviews, comments good or bad, comparison with previous cars etc would be much appreciated. Thanks

register on rs246 mate, you'll find more owners there.

Me too. And RS246 is place to go. Still plucking up courage to deal with running costs though....

Thanks for the info. Cheers

having test driven a few ...make sure you get the drc cars,the ride is very good in comfort and it handles much better than the air suspension one.

I have been very impressed with mine. You need to tick the options to get all the good bits and suddenly it is close to £100k but very good mix between comfort and speed. Everybody mentions the steering but it is a very heavy estate that handles a lot better than should be used on the road even in the wet!

Thanks for your comments.
Bluesatin, which options are a must, and are there any that you wouldn't bother with.
I've recently got out of an f10 m5 which I would say is the best all round car I've ever owned. (Best seats of any car!)After that, anRS5 which was amazing traction/ point to point but a bit numb (for want of a better explanation) . Anybody got any views of the m5 vs the rs6? Cheers.

Anything suspension, exhaust, engine is good option. Load of driver aid options are up to you. Head up display is pointless. I think the Chris Harris article on his rs6 sums it up- best in class but not a sports car. As he and many others mention if you have a rs6 you also have a toy that goes faster.

In useable road performance it's hard to find something faster to use as a toy.
Short of a 991 turbo or gtr it's tough to think of something faster on many uk roads,and both those are not really weekend cars .
