The best performing vehicle I've driven.

This car for the price I have to say meet all the requirements for whatever reason you may be looking for in a vehicle. Plus the style is a die for look.

Super Car!

This is an amazing car! I knew it would be fast with 450 hp, but did not realize how much better the overall handling would be. This car sticks to the road like it is on rails! Great road feel and amazing power, loads of fun!

The Ultimate Sleeper Sedan

I have owned an RS6 for several years, and I can say without a doubt that it is the greatest car I have ever driven. The RS6 is a comfortable car, but I would recommend to one to not take it on a long road trip; the RS6 features a hard suspension. However, this car does extraordinarily well on tracks granted there are long straightaways, because this beast was made for speed. The RS6 is a road-rocket that, in 2010, still keeps up with newer competitors, such as the BMW M5 & Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG. Also, for such a nose-heavy (and overall heavy) car, it performs well in terms of handling; its braking is also phenomenal. The interior is very nice, but it is now kind of outdated when compared to newer Audis; my 2010 S4 has at least four times as many features as my RS6. Nevertheless, having spent over $70,000 for my RS6 used, I will say that at current prices ($25,000-$35,000), this car is a bargain. Take note that maintenance is somewhat expensive out of warranty, but the RS6 is pretty much reliable; my RS6 developed a bad torque converter three months ago at 52,000 miles, and it cost over $6,000 to replace. Other than that, I would highly suggest this car to anyone who is looking for a rare super-sedan, or to anyone who wants a fun, fast, and safe car.

Riding a bull.

I used to have RS6. It's a great car when it's rolling. Only about 800 cars came to US. So you won't see many on the street. While I had it, I only saw two RS6s in the state I live in. If you are considering to buy this car, you should count on spending alot of money for maintenance. If you don't have any problem financially, I would definitely go for this car without any doubt. It rides perfect, feels so tightly attached to the ground. Only thing to consider before buying this car is the maintenance. Just for an example of maintenance on this car, you need to do timing belt services at 35k, 75k, and 115k miles and it costs about $4k each time. Changing two front brakes and rotors would cost almost $2k.

The best of both worlds......

This car truly is incredible. It's a pure beast at a moments notice and is also a very safe, practical all wheel drive family sedan. My RS6 is identical to the picture shown on this site and while being somewhat understated, that is part of it's charm. It rides like a high performance car which means you feel very connected to the road. In other words, your mother might say "It's very nice son, but it does ride a little hard". If you have an appreciation for controllable power, fine workmanship, and a car that exudes class then you owe it to yourself to make this car your next automotive purchase...However, it won't be mine..

All around great balance of power and style.

This is a really fast car. Really fast. It's not a little track car though, more of an autobahn basher. Great in the sweeps and straights. Acceleration can leave you breathless, but not bruised. Will never look dated, just grow classic. Subtle, but aggressive stance and styling. It is the definition of a stealthy German rocket: it doesn't scream at you. But those who know, really know. You get that knowing look from valets and car nuts. But you avoid the calls for stoplight races with modded Civics. If you want exclusivity, power, style and comfort in a Teutonic Sports Sedan, but you don't want just another silver Benz or M-car, the RS is a perfect fit.
