Great video and review. I have let go of a C7 RS6, which I had new in 2013, this May. 139,000 miles I did! Amazing car in so many ways (except for MPG, 5 sets of new tyres and 5 sets of pads / discs all around). After one year I also had the Litchfield Type 2 conversion (see Top Gear mag for details) which lifted it to 740 BHP with little more than a remap and bespoke exhaust system. It took my from Reading to Scotland and back several times! Loved it. Now have a new RS5. I love the RS5, but it was a decision to downgrade, could just not cope with the running costs of a new RS6. Nothing like the brute force of the RS6. A classic car in the making (C7 or C8). Mark.

Thanks ever so much Daniel. Don't worry about being late, every view means a lot no matter when it takes place. I actually think interior of C8 is very impressive, material quality seems high, how well it will age is hard to tell though, piano black has a reputation for tarnishing quickly so I hope it's superior to the VW and Seat stuff! C7 does have an old school solidity to it and has passed the ageing test with flying colours! Check out the new video on living with the C8 for 5 days, it's so easy to live with apart from a couple of minor issues.

I have had both air suspension and DRC C7 RS6's and although the DRC is harsher, it's way better to throw around. I've driven two C8's but just can't get on with them, they are missing something, maybe the sound and driver feedback, I am not sure exactly. For the moment The C7 has low enough miles for me not to be looking for a replacement, but I will be stumped when the time comes.

Look at the siders web by the interior mirror in the C7 😂👍 Just bought one, nice blue 2016 Performance. Might be in touch about Apple Car play.

I think you have a spider living in your C7.. awesome review as usual and great choice 👍

Joe Achilles has also raised the problem with new RS6 doors - they often just don't shut, due to the air compression inside the cabin. It's too tight!

Good review, what’s the model of cam your using in car please?

Being well past my show off years, I appreciate a performance car that is more subtle. My old r36 passat ticks that box but whilst it's performance is more than enough for me, the rs6 is a different league . I'm not sure I could use that amount of power, I quite like pushing a car to near its limits and I don't think I'd want to do that in an rs6. The odd burst here and there. I suppose there's always the track but it's going to be too heavy for that. Anyway, it's a hell of a car, lol

The most I have got on a good run was from Hemel Hempstead to Crawley one day early hours of the morning in the summer so I hit no traffic at all, steady 70mph in eco mode was 34mpg. If I drive between 40-50mph on shorter rounds around Hertfordshire it will get upto 36mpg. However general day to day commuting, which includes a mixture of motorway, dual carriageway and town, I struggle to get 30mpg most of the time it's around 23-26mpg, all the above figures are in in ECO mode.

When I realised it had RWS it all made sense.

The only real issue is the width, it's all fine if drivers coming the opposite way say on their side of the white line but as I am sure you know it's not always the case. How about RS3?

Anyday. C6 V10 still rules them all.

C7 A6 Avant is a high watermark for understated Audi design. Even in RS guise it’s relatively subtle, mostly due to the high number of S-Line models on the road. C8 is just too ghastly now, styled to appeal to truly awful humans. Not for me. De-badged C7 in silver for me please 👌

Fantastic video.. One day🤞

@@volkswizard thanks man. I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I'm loving your content so far bud. Keep it up 👍

The c8 is the biggest let down rs6 every other model that came before it was was such a benchmark car and yes you could say other manufacturers have moved the game on but for me the c8 is a bit of a flop. The c7 however is an absolute future classic. Brutal machine. May even buy one after my f90 m5

Is there not any other better option than sticking a 15x15cm white GB sticker on the trunk for the British drivers? Kind of ruins the look to be honest.

You can get a smaller one I guess. It's covering up the RS6 badge for security reasons. I could just remove it but when I sell I'll have to buy a new badge which is expensive and then try and fit it in the correct place or people on forums will say its had a rear end accident :)

Love the little TDI trick . Also see idiots doing a RS6 badge on a tdi

Hi, subscriber of course. My wife has a vw eos tfsi. 2.0. Basically the mk5 golf gti engine. Our garage has recommended we don't use e10 fuel as it damages the engine. Maybe a good video topic after some research.

Who modified my fav Audi a d painted in blue

The RS4-R ABT is a much better car all round

bloody hell you let a spider into the RS!? id keep a car like that clean as fk but then again im not rich :|

C7 will age better, also if doing stage 3 C7 is faster C8 is just a big boat
