2013 RS6 Avant
Discussion
After not bonding well with the Macan, I decided to go another car I've been hankering after, the C7 RS6, I found this one in Bristol, I liked it as it's a change form the usually coloures I would go for (not sure what red it is, it's from the exclusive range apparently) and seems to look more metallic in the flesh, than in photos.
It's just covered 71000 miles, but doesn't look it, and with 2 owners before me. Its seems nicely specced, with the Dynamic pack, instead of Air suspension, it doesn't have the sports exhaust, but seems loud enough to me. I can't believe the way it pulls for such a heavy car, it seems to feel a lot more nimble than it is. Plans for the future are to fit some larger 21 inch wheels maybe, as it's running 20 inch at the moment, they are very comfortable though.

Big fan of the colour - looks great!
I like the current wheels as well, though I do remember the reviews saying there's not much difference in ride comfort between the 19's-21's on these.
I've had an A7 with 19's and 21's and noticed no real difference in ride.
I also really like the no chrome look, and the lunar (I assume) interior is lovely!

lovely
Not much to update with the RS6, and all going well, such a brilliant daily driver
Still can't believe how quick the car is, the acceleration still makes me laugh!
I've also found what a good long distance cruiser the car makes, and what a split personality it has. I took the car to Edinburgh with the OH, and 3 month old, the drive there had lots of traffic, but the return leg, I was most impressed with the cars mpg,
With the cylinder deactivation, it seemed quite frugal! Which was a surprise. Now I've returned, and found dynamic mode again, the guage has returned to a more normal reading.......
I've found it seems to attract quite a bit if positive attention also, which I didn't expect,
I've been looking to buy the Audi Sport exhaust
system for it, as it has the standard at the moment, which does sound good but it would be nice to have a but more volume,but not over the top, there seems to be some on eBay for a good price. I may look to get it remapped at MRC in the future too, when 565hp becomes normal!
Despite not being sure about the colour when I first purchased it, I've grown to really like it, and really pops in the sun light, certainly a bit of a change!
