Absolutely, and it's a fact that I have overlooked since the first car I bought!

To be honest I already really liked the C5, and nearly bought one.
At the time the running costs seemed to be absurd, but the new one seems to be better from I have read, except for the fuel, but that is peanuts for the performance at hand.

Great replies, notice that the fuel "issue" is overcome one way or another!

Great feedback!

Have any of you felt the urge to mod, or is it just enough as it is?

Pro: You'll find a 5.0 litre V10 for less than £50k Con: You'll not find a litre of 98RON for less than £1.35 However, for the time being at least, one by far outweighs the other. :D Fuel prices could be an issue, but I already pay a lot for my WRX so....... I guess it might not be much different!

Potholebahns?

Basically, if you are already an owner, do you recommend it?

Hey folks,

Just wondering, what are the pros and cons of long term RS6 Avant ownership?

Typical faults, maintenance costs, and so on?

On any motorway there is always some muppet who overtakes in a blind/suicidal way, and if you have ever driven in Southern Europe you will know that you NEED good braking power! agreed however I am not convinced ceramic outperforms steels on the first 2 or 3 times this happens, ceramics have better...

RS4 has now stopped production. At the weekend my dealer said he expects them to not make an RS4 again now there is an A5 platform. That doesn't sound right to me! He also mentioned a rumoured RS3, which is something I haven't seen touted around. Jack RS3 was a pipe-dream by the looks of it....... ...

LMAO!!!

Good stuff!

Enjoy the toy!

Have seen loads of S5s at the dealers accumulating a layer of dust......
