I must admit...this is by FAR my most favorite review EVER!!!! You had a genuine look of excitement and I envy you! Love the car and GREAT job!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you know what? I'm glad you came here to insult me personally, that means a lot. I'm also glad that you gave up after 6 mins it's a shame you didn't give up after a minute because then you might have just moved on to some other press release reading video without comment. My videos aren't about numbers, any amateur can give you numbers when they read them off a list or when they are told what to say by the PR people. Peace out
I must correct you regarding the performance. I test drove an S6 in Denver, Colorado a few weeks ago and I went from 0-60 in 3.7 seconds and 0-100 in 9 seconds. Maybe the European model is slightly slower as you're claiming with a time of 4 seconds. I'm ordering mine in a couple weeks and I will take delivery in February. Audi better than the BMW and Mercedes. Fantastically smooth and fantastically quick. Brilliant car to drive
"Trust the Quattro"...I love it! You certainly had fun in this car and the hard cornering is evident at 5:25 as the mounted camera strap flung into view...you rock!
Man, I love your reviews so much! They're just that much better than the average car review, which are all about practicality, efficiency and numbers! And your reactions are a joy to see :-) Can't wait 'till you get you're hands on an RS model, or something like a Lambo or something ;-) I drive an A7 (my dad's, not my own, I should be that lucky) and I enjoyed your review of that car as well! Hope to see you make lots of videos in the future, I'll be looking forward to them! Cheers
The 0-100 time is always slightly different from the 0-60 time because 100kph is 62mph so perhaps I got confused which one I was quoting in the videos. Best of luck with the new car!
great video man. i drive a 3,2 Litre Quattro A6 and in sport mode the torque grunt and pull the engine has is intoxicating. driving the S6 must of been a blast. keep up the good work.
I just found this site today. Bob you are the best. Great reviews. Cheers from Canada. Keep up the great reviews. Much better then some of the U.S. reviews. We here can relate as we are metric unlike the Yanks that are still using imperial.
I love watching this video. "Gets you in the gentlemen vegetables..." LOL. I've got mine coming next week. Audi did a great sell on me. I've got the A7 which went in for a service and they lent me an S6 and I reacted exactly like the presenter in this video. So 2 years later, I've gone and got one...
If you examine the comments you'd have an answer. I work alone, there is no budget, I film, edit and present everything you see on the channel. I had about 30 mins with the S6 so it's impossible to film exterior shots as well. Are we cool now?
It will go into the red line but it will also change gears if you don't do anything, manual mode or not. It's Audi protecting the engine from people pushing all the way and holding it until it blows up. On the numbers, I can't remember where the red line appears, I think it's 6.5-7000rpm on a side note the M5 changes too.
First off. Smokerspack, I love Ireland and the Irish. Cool people and an awesome land. Second off, another awesome review, and you continue to be cool, funny and awesome. This is only the 2nd video I've watched of yours even.
i'm looking at getting an Audi next car. A6, A4 or A5. Which would you choose. Obviously a Quattro. But I can't decide which one. They are all stunning motors.
It changes when it red lines, most automatics do that to save the engine from blowing up. That's somewhere around 6500rpm, manual is never manual in a DSG or auto box car. So you can count it as confirmed :D
Reporter: "So you see it has this cylinder deactivation feature and...." V8: "vrrrrrroooommmm" Reporter: "oh f*ck the review, I'm enjoying this car..."
Haha I keep coming back and watching this video over and over again, I can't get enough of the awesome car and the funny accent. And I mean funny in a good way, not a bad way. Viva Ireland!
I didn't get to video it but I did get to drive it. The ST is a grown up version of Focus, it's a little on the tame side of mad. It'll make a great back road blazer but you'll be able to live with it. You'll have plenty of fun with it, I just wish it was noisier and a little less turbo lag. But they don't make cars like they used too, most of the madness is gone in favour of economy and Co2. Still a great car though
No fear driving that car Bob,between trust the Quattro and the Gentleman Vegetables I reckon their were a few nervous spots where you wern't too sure but you put the trust in the car and it delivered.It's pricy but you get what you pay for.nice job once again. Bob was last seen heading across Europe in a red S6 Quattro and has not been heard from since.Anyone with information on his whereabouts let his Mrs know where to find him.
My Dad just bought an new 2015 S6 and let me tell you it is a rocket. 450 hp in a lightweight sedan. My Dad is 61 and is closing in on too many demerits! Slow down Dad! PS his last car was BMW 550i lol so was also quick - explains the speeding tickets.
I ordered a Ford Focus ST in July, which may or may not get built in my lifetime. Are you going to review it anytime soon? I would love to hear your thoughts on it!!
0-60 times are very subjective. Some car makers set their times from pure maths, they never actually do the time for real. It's the same for fuel economy by the way. Other car makers take an average time out of say 3 runs and that becomes the time. There again, I've tested the 0-100kph on some cars in the videos and they are far faster than the company say. There are other factors, temp of the tyres and engine, altitude, settings on the car. In theory the S6 could keep up with anything
Mate, you make best car reviews on RUclips. It's nice to watch it over again, again, and again. You and Matt, (Rebeca) from Carbuyer, should make your own show :D. Cheers, :)
Lol you can just tell by his hair and his sweat how much fun he is having. It's like he's a little boy again. Almost completely forgot that he is doing a review.
Dave, how you gauge a car and how I gauge a car are very different. If you're here looking at an S6 because you want to buy one, you won't care about fuel economy or really any other numbers and the same will apply for the Lexus. The only thing that will matter is the feeling the car gives. If you're here for all the numbers I'm afraid you won't find it, I don't spiel off the PR releases like the other video review people, that would be boring and more of the same. It's the feeling that matters
I'm trading my 2005 Infiniti G35X for an S6. I drove one a month ago, and I went from 0-60 in 3.7 seconds and 0-100 a fraction over 9 seconds. This S6 is for the North America market as I live in USA. I don't know how the European model compares, but I can tell you that S6 has same performance from 0-60 as M5 and is quicker than the Mercedes AMG. Not bad considering its an AWD. Can't wait for delivery
Just bought myself an S4. After a history of owning Mercedes and BMWs, I can tell you that he's not exaggerating. I was the same if not more ecstatic. It's the quickest road car in the segment. Same goes for their other S-cars. You may think Panamera Turbo but other than looks, Audi's S6/S8 will hammer it. M5 even moreso. Then on the road, stock supercars can't bully you and with DSG you'll even beat most of them. Audi makes the best Sports Sedan in the market bar none.
S6 Avant is going to be much more practical than the RS4 that said, the RS4 is more mental to drive. You'll be happier living with the S6 because it has big seats and a huge boot.
This is possibly the funniest review I've seen of the S6 yet. Well done chief!
I'm a yank, stationed in Germany [US Army], with a lot of irish blood. You, my lad, are freekin brilliant. Keep up the good work!!
I must admit...this is by FAR my most favorite review EVER!!!! You had a genuine look of excitement and I envy you! Love the car and GREAT job!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Audi should use this as a commercial for the S6. I'm sold.
best Audi review ever!
srbjbt Best car review ever. Period.
Do you know what? I'm glad you came here to insult me personally, that means a lot. I'm also glad that you gave up after 6 mins it's a shame you didn't give up after a minute because then you might have just moved on to some other press release reading video without comment.

Many thanks, this is great video! The grin on your face while driving this beast is priceless!!
this might just be the best review possible for a car like this... thumbs up mate
Fantastic review mate. Love your enthusiasm. Verry funny but serious. Cheers!!
"Trust the Quattro"...I love it! You certainly had fun in this car and the hard cornering is evident at 5:25 as the mounted camera strap flung into view...you rock!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, I like to have fun with cars. Loads more to come
Bought one after watching your review so many times. Keep up the great n entertaining reviews !
Awesome, thank you!
Loved this review as it was a Entertaining, Funny, Honest assessment of this vehicles capabilities!!
It's an S6, there's never any questions about ride or comfort as it's always second to none. Coolness comes as standard
Man, I love your reviews so much! They're just that much better than the average car review, which are all about practicality, efficiency and numbers! And your reactions are a joy to see :-) Can't wait 'till you get you're hands on an RS model, or something like a Lambo or something ;-) I drive an A7 (my dad's, not my own, I should be that lucky) and I enjoyed your review of that car as well!

Your Irish accent from a car reviewer is refreshing in comparison to the typical British one.
great video man. i drive a 3,2 Litre Quattro A6 and in sport mode the torque grunt and pull the engine has is intoxicating. driving the S6 must of been a blast. keep up the good work.
I just found this site today. Bob you are the best. Great reviews. Cheers from Canada. Keep up the great reviews. Much better then some of the U.S. reviews. We here can relate as we are metric unlike the Yanks that are still using imperial.
bob u have the best job ever! getting to drive and give ur opinion on cars ! u do it decently tho is why I subscribed!
Hi Bob, love the review, i am thinking of buying a 2013 Audi S6 Avant or a Audi allroad bitdi as you have driven both what woul dyou recommend? Thanks
i have been watching you videos ,and must say they keep geting better and better . keep up the good work and cars :D
I love watching this video. "Gets you in the gentlemen vegetables..." LOL. I've got mine coming next week. Audi did a great sell on me. I've got the A7 which went in for a service and they lent me an S6 and I reacted exactly like the presenter in this video. So 2 years later, I've gone and got one...
"I want this cars babies" I love that line!!!
If you examine the comments you'd have an answer. I work alone, there is no budget, I film, edit and present everything you see on the channel. I had about 30 mins with the S6 so it's impossible to film exterior shots as well. Are we cool now?
Bob your reviews can surely put US the viewers right there with YOU I the drivers seat!! Fabulous review and Fabulous Fun. Tares up the road LOLOLOL
Glad you found me, plenty more videos to come!
So much fun that there was footage I couldn't put in :D
Mr. Flaving, I was wondering if any of the new RS4s come in manuals. I do like or should that be prefer manuals.
It will go into the red line but it will also change gears if you don't do anything, manual mode or not. It's Audi protecting the engine from people pushing all the way and holding it until it blows up.
On the numbers, I can't remember where the red line appears, I think it's 6.5-7000rpm on a side note the M5 changes too.
You just got another subscriber. Awesome work!!!
"get out of my road, focus!" God i love this, haha
First off. Smokerspack, I love Ireland and the Irish. Cool people and an awesome land. Second off, another awesome review, and you continue to be cool, funny and awesome. This is only the 2nd video I've watched of yours even.

Thanks very much, I hope to add some fast cars to next years filming. We'll see what I can get my hands on :D
Love your review .....Audi is by far top quality
Thanks very much, I'm glad you like it!
Reporter: "So you see it has this cylinder deactivation feature and...."
V8: "vrrrrrroooommmm"
Reporter: "oh f*ck the review, I'm enjoying this car..."
Brilliant review, I haven't laughed so much for ages.
Your face is a picture to behold
03:20 Bob, heck thats fast, again superb review!
Your giggling and so forth really gives me the feeling I'm driving the car. Well done, sir!
Great rev!
amazing review Bob
+bestman81 thanks dude!
Haha I keep coming back and watching this video over and over again, I can't get enough of the awesome car and the funny accent. And I mean funny in a good way, not a bad way. Viva Ireland!
There are already a couple of A6 reviews on my channel, both A6 and A6 avant 3.0tdi are done.
I didn't get to video it but I did get to drive it. The ST is a grown up version of Focus, it's a little on the tame side of mad. It'll make a great back road blazer but you'll be able to live with it.
You'll have plenty of fun with it, I just wish it was noisier and a little less turbo lag. But they don't make cars like they used too, most of the madness is gone in favour of economy and Co2. Still a great car though
From 1:55-2:00 his face went from "Eh, it's okay.." To "Holy shit!"
No fear driving that car Bob,between trust the Quattro and the Gentleman Vegetables I reckon their were a few nervous spots where you wern't too sure but you put the trust in the car and it delivered.It's pricy but you get what you pay for.nice job once again.

So you did make it back.. LOL Your right when you said never mind the leftovers I want this...
My Dad just bought an new 2015 S6 and let me tell you it is a rocket. 450 hp in a lightweight sedan. My Dad is 61 and is closing in on too many demerits! Slow down Dad! PS his last car was BMW 550i lol so was also quick - explains the speeding tickets.
You Sir, are a man that gets me...thank you very much!
I ordered a Ford Focus ST in July, which may or may not get built in my lifetime. Are you going to review it anytime soon? I would love to hear your thoughts on it!!
Thanks! You should let Matt know, I'm always up for something new.
I love this review!
Greetings from Sweden.
Epic video lad. Love the review.
That's what happens when you enjoy your work!
"Gets me in the gentleman vegetables". This dude is funny.

Thank you very much for this video!You are the best!
How come you are using a left hand drive red one for the rolling shots when you're clearly in a RHD one ? Great vids keep up the good work.
well done, enjoy the experience of winning!
There isn't an Audi dealership near me, but I love my work!
thanks Bob. kisses from brazil!
Excellent review of an excellent car.
Mate, you make best car reviews on RUclips. It's nice to watch it over again, again, and again. You and Matt, (Rebeca) from Carbuyer, should make your own show :D.
Cheers, :)
Honestly, if I had to have one car to do everything I needed, I'm struggling between and S6, an RS7 or a RCF. Thoughts please?
+Brad_0
Is it a family car or are you single and what cars have you experienced.
Thanks, it's just how I feel. No script...ever
Most kind, thanks very much!
Something about the S models that gets me though, it's that sleeper car thing.
True, I had to use Audi footage because getting high speed passing shots needs a crew and I was in Killarney, hard to get a crew there
Thanks very much, there's plenty more videos to come and over 120 older ones to watch. Spread the word!
A proper beast of a car....I think ur best review yet....u really let ur hair down in this review...
Haha Love your expression when you first opened it up :D
which one would you prefer the audi RS4 (€110.200) or audi S6 avant (€103.280), those are the prices in Holland btw ;)
Super review!!! Christ its sooo quick!!!!!
Best Video I've ever seen! You're just AMAZING! :-D
Scary fast! Thanks dude
Lol you can just tell by his hair and his sweat how much fun he is having. It's like he's a little boy again. Almost completely forgot that he is doing a review.
XD the new one, i hope will soon be part of your collection of videos
This reporter have a hell of hangover :-)
Somethings can never be repeated
Love your style
Cheers dude!
+Bob Flavin just bought one
That sound is epic xD
You probably wanted to keep it with you forever haha
Thanks very much, there's plenty more to come!

this the first review i heard from a someone who say oh shit in there interview over a car ,
I hope that you will test more audi cars,because i have an audi blog and i like to show my readers your videos.
Maybe you can confirm this, but I heard that the 2013 S6 does not have an iPod connection? Is that true?
Great review, just wish the camera angeles were a little more extensive. Keep up the good work though
I like your videos. Keep it up as long as you can !!!
