Great performance, well built but substandard steering/handling on poor (English!) roads

I guess that was predictable, especially with DRC. Maybe the standard suspension is the better bet.
Also interesting that they compare to the RS4.
Hmm.....

Read the road test
Sounds like I saved myself at least £20k!

20k? You could have a pair of RS4s for a spec'd RS6!!

True
Mine was £65k and I think 'my' spec 6 was high 80s

the P-heads review is in from Harris - a lot more favourable:

Harris compares it to the RS4 which he didnt rate as much. Goes to show, you really need to have a go yourself rather than rely solely on the hacks

Completely agree. Only way to find out will be to try one.
Sat in one today and I am really not sure about the contrast stiching on the quilted seats. That's something I could do without. The rest is all familiar. Though, I have to say, I wasn't sure it was a massive step up from the C6 internally.
Need one for a weekend.

Yes, Goodwood.
They had a matt grey car (this is in the owners area, you'll need your Audi key) and two red cars on the stands as well as three others doing the moving roadshow.
