Re: S6 or RS6

Comparing RS to RS, absolutely, but I couldn’t afford one of those in a C7
But RS C6 is more of an event to drive than the S C7. Which is what I was after.
The S C7 is a lovely car, but just wasn’t what I was looking for

Re: S6 or RS6

Yeah I bet. At the moment the performance upgrades seem quite unnecessary. Lol

Re: S6 or RS6

So I went for the C6 RS6 in the end and I’m well chuffed. Cor blimey they’re quick aren’t they. This is totally standard but wow and many expletives. !! Love it. It’s actually smoother about town than was the S6. And the gear map in D seems to suit me better. I felt caught between the gears all the ...

Re: Pistonheads Heroes article on C6, 8.9.20

I was umming and ahing over replacing the 2007 S6 with a 2013 S6 or an 08-10 RS6.
I read this.
I now own an 09 RS6. And a lovely thing she is too.

Re: S6 or RS6

So I’ve been thinking, and googling, and I think I’ve answered my initial question about what’s the difference in the driving of them. A Clarkson review of the S6 when released said “...it’s not a sports car”. And the Audi website itself has the RS, but not S, models under a sports section when sear...

Thinking about replacing my C6 with a C7

Have any S6 C7 owners on here also had experience of the C6? Other than missing the v10 noise at the top end (thank you Miltek) what will I notice different about the driving experience? I’ve had the C6 for three years now and have always felt a bit let down on the fun side. It’s not very interactiv...

Re: S6 or RS6

Tadass910, I suggested the E63 estate for the dog, but she thinks they’re too uncouth the AMGs. Shame, cos I love their soundtrack. Guy round our way had a C63 and everyone knew him because he was inappropriate with the throttle through the middle of the village. His own village. So AMG got a bad ra...

Re: S6 or RS6

Edmond, I like your comments, thank you very much. From what you say, an RS sounds more like the car I want to drive than the S. Damn, they're expensive compared to what I normally look for. Interesting about re-sale value - looking at the C6 prices, as I have one to sell, the S6 is a lot less than ...

Re: S6 or RS6

Thanks for the replies guys. I see where you're coming from Saudirick, but my dream car is an M5 - and the lack of Touring (Avant) body leads me back to Audi (the wife veto'd the E63) I can live with or without the looks in my family car - though the RS does look the bo**"&$( doesn't it. What I'm re...

Re: S6 or RS6

Thanks for the reply. I was looking at the stage 1 remaps. Very tempting way to get RS acceleration!! I won’t do it straight away, with the turbos and the torque lower down the Rev range I’m expecting it to feel faster than my C6 does in most situations on the road. Carbon brakes scare me. Sure they...

S6 or RS6

Hi all, I registered specifically to post this question as I can’t find the answer by searching. I’ve been a C6 S6 saloon owner for 4 years and the C7 S6 has just dropped in to my budget range as the addition of a dog later this year will bring the Avant requirement to the family. (Whys he talking a...
