Does the S6 tick all the boxes

Post by DazN » Thu Feb 12, 2015 10:52 am

Hi All

I've owned a few nice Audi's in the past, most recent was a B8 S4, prior to that was a B7 RS4 and I am currently driving a 2014 C63 which is a monster. So much so in fact that after only owning it for 3 months I've decided it's just too much car for me, I am scared to put my foot down in the slippery conditions, it's lost traction at 80mph on the motorway when I've booted it.

So after a short spell I've decided it's just not the right car for me and I want something bigger than the S4 used to be, hence my interest in the S6. I quite like the BiTDi A6 too but I don't really want a diesel and I don't do many miles.

What are people's 'must haves' for the options list? When I bought the S4 it was Drive Select and Super Sports Diff, mine had both and I'm not sure I'd say they were must haves again, DS in dynamic mode was very jerky on the gear changes and I always seemed to leave in in comfort mode!!!

The only thing I do want is the right wheels, and a plain interior!!!

Thanks
Audi S4 (B9)

The first thing on the list imo is Nav Touch. I *think* it was made standard after about 18 months (ie. well before the facelift) but the early cars have the two navigation options, and you definitely want the top one!

Audi have definitely reduced their used stock as the facelift arrived. They were well priced before, but this September 2014 '64' pre-facelift saloon is comically well priced, possibly due to nearing year end?
