Thoughts on this rs6

Post by tonybrown5 » Wed Feb 06, 2019 5:33 pm

Just after people's thoughts on this one as it's quite a rare colour I'm hoping it may be known by people in here

Merlin purple is very nice colour. However that one needs a bloody good polish!
Not sure if full spec is listed as its appears to have the external trim carbon pack and mirrors which was a few quid. Id speak to the dealer and get the full spec print off so you know what being sold.

I know people seem to demand a sunroof, but me personally don’t feel the need for a sunroof. The car is massive so it hardly feels like your stuffed in a crapped little car whennin side! ( I don’t have a sunroof before you ask)
One less problem of a leaky sunroof if you don’t have one 😉

Me either. Had them and never used them. Something else that’ll rattle.

Same here. I didn't spec it and don't miss it. It's a nice to have, not a must have for me.

Adaptive cruise I would defo miss though.

If it was a proper moon roof or panoramic roof I might have picked it but it's just a normal sunroof. And doesn't it open out over the roof rather than into the roof? If it does then it looks stupid when open.

Still think the pan roof adds to the interior feeling of space. And it is nice to open in the summer. It was on my must have list and wouldn't have bought a car without it.
Currently running:
18 plate Lamborghini Huracan Performante (5.2l of V10 naturally aspirated craziness)
67 plate RS6 Performance (fully loaded)
66 plate Range Rover Autobiography (for wafting around)
16 plate Mini Cooper S convertible (lots of fun but rather skittish when thrashed)

Favourite car ever owned:
1971 Citroen DS21 - The Goddess (pure art on wheels)

Its showing as having camera or distance sensor - is that adaptive or just related to parking?
My main worry is how comfy are the dynamic springs over air?

No problem with my dynamic springs in comfort setting...

springs are deffo harder. Air ride is fantastic, springs are not hard enough to be annoying though. I like comfort and am happy enough on springs. my previous cars have been air and I loved the ride. air for comfort, springs for flatter cornering. not much in it really.

Have you seen this one?

Better spec and mileage, slightly more expensive, but arguably a better car. Just depends if you like the colour or not!

Like that and it has all my wish list bar the air which I'm still debating over. It's for adaptive, pan and park assist.
Didn't see it on the approved used website initially though.
Will give them a call, it's over budget but depends how long they've had it and if they're prepared to do a deal.

ETA - it's just been sold

Gutted! Not surprised to be honest though. Right two things:

1. Air vs DRC - I drove both before purchasing and found that the car hides it's weight a lot better with the DRC. DRC in comfort (and in Auto) rides really well too. For me personally it was a deal breaker - had to have DRC.

2. The best cars go really quick as there are people looking all the time. I chased a couple before I bagged mine - all sold really quick once going up. I was looking almost constantly (multiple times a day). Mine appeared online on a Wednesday night. 8 am Thursday I'm ringing the dealer to get it secured. Later that day there was a lot of interest in it. So once you see the one you want you have to strike straight away...
