Cool new car. I loved that you said the SQ5 is more reliable and faster. I found you after I bought my sq5 last MARCH

Fellow c7 S6 owner here. I definitely recommend picking up a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires. They have better traction for rain than a pilot sport 4 or cup 2 yet the rear end can still kick out if you really want to push it.

Wish this excitement existed with the mk6 as a mk6 owner myself. However! Never owned an audi and probably wouldn't want to turn back after owning one either. More refined VW! Just as excited about this build as the mk6

Subscribed. I just bought a 2018 S6 and this video was informative and relateable. Thanks!!

I see what looks like even more excitement than the SQ5. Let’s see all the new stuff. I can’t wait to see wheels you get.

Just got an AWE race for my s6 and let me tell you... don’t get the touring or you will barely notice its there. Congrats on the new car!

The camera picks up more noise than the car actually makes. it is a very nice car. I believe they have dual glass as well to insulate the sound at the glass level.

As a fellow S6 owner, good luck with the O2 sensors, lol. My advice is just get the straight pipes and delete them. Check engine lights on and off even after replacing them. Even the stage 1 tune will open that car right up, makes a massive difference.

Rory can I ask you questions

Nice informative video and I'm looking foreward for some awesome content! I wish I could get an S6 myself but its so expensive to maintain in germany. The buying price is something I could manage but rising petrol prices and high maintain costs make it impossible for me. I hope in future a door will open that will make it happen.

Stop telling everyone how great this car is lol Ive kept it a secret from my friends for a while and i can finally afford to put one in my driveway lol

The AWE touring exhaust on the 4.0t sounds ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

As a C7 S6 owner with unitronic 1+ tune... I say the cheapest and best exhaust sound for your audi is deleting the rear 2 mufflers and replacing it with tips, and replacing the mid muffler with a X pipe... take my word for it everybody will tell you ur car sounds perfect

The intro to this video made me laugh a little too hard lolol. Also I look forward to your uploads. You're a big reason why I own a B8.5 S4 now. S7 or RS7 is the next goal tho.

Let’s see this S6 at the drag for a future vid!

I recently replaced the front and rear brake disk/pads on my 18 S6 (28k miles). Dealer quoted almost 4k. I got the service done at around 2k at an independent shop. The OE parts are expensive, no way around that. I was told these cars need brake maintenance every 30k miles. Coming from my X5, M3 and S4, this is on the high end of essential maintenance. Besides that, the car is a pleasure to own.

Whata amazing car

I did not know about the sport diff not being happy at higher HP, That's good to know. I have been looking for one that has the specs i want but it has been more difficult than i thought. Also for the heated steering wheel is the element all the way around or do you think it can be modified to be a flat bottom one.

I love the heated wheel as well, mine wasn’t very warm, (28°C default?) I adjusted in vagcom to 30 or 32° and it’s more to my liking now 👍

That seems like quite a long commute just for work!!

I really think you need to mention the build quality of this Neckarsulm car vs the last two Ingolstadt cars you drove...

What were the main criteria you were looking for when you were searching for this car? Also, would you suggest avoiding the sport differential completely?

I own a '16 S6 and am just coming off warranty. Are there potential downstream effects from having no screens installed?

Hit me up, you have to take mine for a spin...oh I hate the gas meter too.

Intro had me dead😂😂

You mentioned something about the Alcantera seats getting warmer faster than leather, and I know you had Alcantera on your SQ5. Can you maybe talk a little more about the differences? I'm watching the markets now to pick up a B8 SQ5 and can't decide on leather or Alcantera. I found one an hr or so away and test drove it but the Alcantera seemed stiff and not comfortable. Why do you prefer it over leather?

So I’ve been seriously considering an s6 or a bmw 550. The only thing holding me back is I feel like the size of the car will not be as fun as the smaller sized cars like a 3 series or s4. Like all I can think of, probably due to Top Gear, is that 6 series and 5 series is for middle aged business men who play golf

Hello from the UK, I've owned a C7 S6 Avant since new in 2017. It is the best daily driver I've ever owned and there's not really anything I can think of that I'd replace it with anywhere near the same price point. So it's staying indefinitely. As for summer wheel's if you like aftermarket, BBS CI-R look just perfect on the C7.

How does the cylinder deactivation work? Can you feel it working? What's the MPG like?

How about “what it do Audi crew”

Eli will you make outro video over that bridge with drone shoting like with S4 outro, that was beautiful, with chill soundtrack, for the intro...is good as it is!
