Good Points

Cheap for a 450BHP car
-4WD
-Big boot space
-Lovely seats
-Traction control
-Looks like a normal A6 with low skirts but goes like stink
-You will be heard
-You will attract attention when you want (or you could keep a low profile looking like a normal estate)
-Big 19 inch wheel looks smart and sticks to the road like skin and super glue
-Built in GPRS
-Standard Triptronic gearbox
-Great alarm
-Dark dashboard wood looks the real deal
-Can have up to 26MPG (keep in mind a 4.2 twin turbo V8 engine is at your disposal)
-Good headlights
-Not stupidly low to the floor (practical)
-Good standard sound system
-Heated back seats all 3
-Front seats can be adjusted at 6 points (sides, height, tilt, head rest, firmness and backwards and forwards)
-Good overall view of the car (all big windows)
-Overall good German engineering
-Mainly carbon fiber under the bonnet


Bad Points

-Parts are expensive
-Goes through tyres like no tomorrow
-Seems to catch Police attention


General Comments

I help my mates dad just with cleaning cars, cutting grass, and helping all around its great. I have been in the RS many times and every time I can't wipe the grin off my face. I could be in the worst mood ever and this car makes me smile every time. You only have to hear it star up and tick over and you wow what a car it looks like a normal estate when thats anything but what it really is!
This car is smooth quiet fast and practical Audi used to put the engine on the car as far forward as they could, but this has all changed the engine is almost mid mounted and with the 4WD its amazing.
The car still has loads of leg room and luxuries this car is truly amazing Don't hold me against this but I believe 0-60 is about 4.8 seconds and very top speed of about 180+ MPH.
For a car what cost £55,000 how can you go wrong - it's more powerful than the M3 and its a estate. How can you tell the difference?
The rear 2 oval exhausts.
With high skirts at the back.
Silver wing mirrors.
Big wheels.
RS6 on the rear tail gate.
