@@dadcarsit was a beautiful analogy 👏 my way of explaining wouldn’t have been as easy, but funny enough it would have also involved household plumbing in the form of water storage tank in the attic and mains feed to the taps.
My brother has got the sedan and bought it from it’s first Swiss owner with 225K kilometers on it. Got it tuned to 704 bhp / 1034 NM and it drives so well and never misses a beat. We went to the south of Portugal together: he in his RS6 and I in my (540 bhp) 2013 750Li. Obviously the RS6 is so much quicker now going like a rocket but it surprises me more how well it drives. It is much more stable at high german autobahn speeds and it feels tighter and put together than my 2013 BMW. Cooling is also much better, not changing even in the heat of summer with the twin turbo V10. We both got E63 M6 V10s as well for the sound but overall the RS6 is the go to car if we want to cross country winter or summer. One of the most under appreciated cars now.
My Dadcar is an Audi RS4 B8.5 Avant. I love it, my daughter loves it too. Great family car and when you want to open it up, you get that awesome V8 NA roar. The last of the generations, where the looks are still subtle and understated, but muscular. Those who know, know and I get many nods of appreciation from people.
I bought an exceptional one of these a couple of months ago as a weekend toy to replace my TTRS. It is an animal. Currently mapped to around 650bhp and it is brutal! Only car I've driven that scared me on the road! And I've owned an e60 M5, W211 E55 AMG and the TTRS. I also used to work for SVO at JLR so no stranger to high performance cars. The only thing I've driven that felt significantly faster was a 2011 Williams F1 car but that was a whole different world and was not on a public road 😂😂. So glad you featured these. They are superb if you buy a good one. Another great video.
Quite looking forward to the C6 vs. C7 comparison. It is something that is on my mind once in a while. C7 does offer all the gadgetry you could ever need (be it softclose, IR & matrix LED lights, all the parking cameras in the world, newer MMI, …), but C6 is just so much closer to my heart. I know, I am an old fart… I meant fashioned. Also there are those little more special “plus” models of C6 with some extra things you might (or might not) want including CC brakes. In any case - from tech perspective C6 is a pain to work on, that oil seal is not the only thing, there are some more pipes in/around the engine bay that do corrode and it’s all the same story - engine out. If you do it all (e.i. “while in there”), good, but as a buyer you never really know if it waits for you. I believe Ricky Elder does have a good video about all of it and his guys could sing a song or two about it. Anyway - great video, looking forward to the C7 and one of them will surely push me over the edge. :D
When I was 18 an RS6 pulled up drove past me on the dual carriageway, I remember the brake discs were bigger than my alloys. I wanted once since. I've been fairly poor for the last 7 or 8 years but I got a small loan and bought a Audi A6 Avant C7 3.0TDi with 300hp and 600nm of torque and for me its the perfect compromise because I do about 20k a year. But I still have that dream but truthfully, I might stay 3L V6 TDI for the daily and eventually save up for something small and fast instead.
Great video, recently bought a Sepang Blue B8 RS4 for similar money, similar offerings but slightly less subtle! Really impressed with fuel economy V8 considered, easily achieves over 25 mpg on a family run and hasnt financially ruined me (YET!) and getting to live the high revving V8 dream!
Had one, and a C5. All I can remember was telling everyone "Its a one trick pony that needs the same money to support as a single seat race car WITH a team employed"
Loving this content, keep up the good work! I am constantly feeling the temptation of a heavily depreciated uber-wagon from times of yore. I'm curently on the fence between a C6 RS6 and the E63 5.5 Wagon. I feel like perhaps the running costs would be a TINY bit more reasonable. Would love to see an episode featuring one of these!
A great review of a truly awesome and unique car. I own one of these, and it is far more capable than a 2 tonne estate has any right to be. It has been reliable and only costs me £460 per year to insure. Yes, the maintenance and running costs are in supercar territory, because that's what it is. I love the fact that it's so rare and understated, no one has a clue what it is capable of until the accelerater hits the stop, then all hell breaks loose from the world's only production twin turbo V10!
I went from a B8 RS4 to a C7.5 RS6, the C6 risks scare me 😂. An awesome car, but even putting 3k a year aside you’d still want 10k down the back of the sofa just in case. The C7 was pretty dull, they need an exhaust to make it sound half decent and only get exciting over 100. The 20k sweet spot is the B8.
Even more bonkers is that for half the price of one of these you can get into the lesser S6 and get an NA V10 with over 400bhp. The cheapest on AT is only £6k which is ludicrously cheap and just as financially ruinous.
Hahaha your bank account is shitting it hahahaha I've been sitting with 2 x v8s for quite a few years 😂 let the road tax be the perfect starter to whet the spending appetite
I had one as a perfect family car for a few years - strangely due to the average 19mpg I was getting and brakes , pads and tyres I needed a practical family car so looking out at my drive I had a weekend toy estate with a huge boot and a clio practical family car ? 🤨 really weird situation
A friend of mine had one of these for 10 years or so, fantastic car as a family wagon, lots of space. The only issue he ever has was the suspension. It was not a good handling car though, understeered like crazy on track days but that doesn’t matter on the roads. That V10 sounds good until you hear the S85 M5 one next to it, turbos give it 80bhp more, but then again it’s a much heavier car. Drive Tribe did an M5 touring manual conversion on RUclips. If you’re after a family wagon with a special engine that’s what I’d go for, but certainly this was the heyday era for special engines in family cars and the V10 RS6 is right up there. Also if you’re on a tight budget sub £8k check out the Passat R36 estate. Fantastic review and a great Sunday evening watch thanks!
This car will financially ruin 99% of All Humans. But I'm like "Fuck It. I'm financially OK, I'm 50. I'll maybe drive her once a week, but service her every need." I don't need this car, other than rear seats. My daily is the same size but uses 5.2 litres per 100km or 45miles per Gallon. But I'm going to buy one one because that inner child sings" Happy Birthday to Me".😂
I had one of these - carbon build up caused the heads to warp, really common on these, really expensive when it happens (which it will eventually on all of them)
This channel is awesome! I have my kid in the back of a B7 RS4 at the moment but have been daydreaming about an RS6. Turbos and automatic suits a dadcar better I feel.
I've said for years; do the due-diligence first for tax, servicing, insurance, fuel, finance (I avoid it but it is an option) etc, but if you can afford something special, be it a humble hot hatch, or a super car, without compromising yourself, don't wait. Because if you wait, it may never happen. Front IsoFix is quite a feature, even today it's not universal! I used to think Audi's were just dull, but these days I appreciate the understated design. The C6 A6 is a very timeless car; it's looks as handsome today as it did when new. But I feel this is a car that knows it doesn't need to visually shout it's credentials; it doesn't care what anyone else thinks. Equally there are lots of nice details like the faired arches.
700 quid insurance is not bad less then my mk7 r with 10yrs no claims. Great video i hada neighbour who had one of these with 800hp supposedly they can make a lot hp very easily
When it came time to replace our trusty E39 525i touring, I seriously considered the C6 S6 (not the RS6) or a C7 S6 as a replacement, but ended up with a C7 A6 Allroad BiTDI. Still pretty quick, definitely the sensible choice, but just not the same 😢
Love this channel. Eversince I‘ve been a dad I hope you succeed! If I might ask a few things, would it be possible to show how much room there is in the front when a babyseat is placed? Already had to upgrade the misses Q2 to a Q3 Sportback for a little extra passenger room. As we are 1.84 and 1.94 meters cars tend to get small immediately. Other question would be to let us know how the suspension is. I don’t want shaking baby syndrome, so if a car is incredible stiff it might be nice to know beforehand 😊
Hi Ben. Cool video, I loved it. I don't know if that's considered a Estate or a SUV, but I like it. I still miss the Audi 5000 estate I used to have. Stay safe and take care.
Guys check out Lexus IS300 sportcrosses, you can get them with a 3 litre 2jz straight 6, rwd, automated manual box, leather, wagon practicality, isofix, i got one for 3k and its superb. Too small if you have multiple older kids but for use with a baby seat and pram its amazing. Not as fast as this beast but still quite fun, 2nd and 3rd in manual mode are nippy and the sport auto mode is pleasantly gokarty. and if youre loaded stick 15k into it and get it turbo'd out to 500hp.. toyota parts too :) get one before theyre expensive!
An uncle had one and my cousin when he was little referred to it as the whoosh car. The engine is immense but there is no disguising the fact that it’s a bit of a fatty when you arrive at a corner and / or hit the brakes. They certainly like a drink if you stamp in the accelerator. I remember having a fairly enthusiastic drive and it averaging 11 mpg. 😂 I thought the C6 felt like it punched a bit harder than the C7 he replaced it with. The C7 was far more vocal too.
Having had a saloon version for 7 years and being 797ps 1183 nm, it has and still gives a lot of smiles per mile, the stage 2 plus tuned ones are even better than standard cars as fully it is unrestricted, I get 21 mph in average and had 29mpg on a long drive ( with the other half as passenger) it can be comfortable and then be an animal, but inconspicuous to people who do not know what it is and get nods from the ones who do
Not many people realise the car's front end is about 5 inches longer than a standard A6 to accommodate that engine and radiators (as it needs so much extra cooling) and its also about 6 inches wider with those bulging arches.
@@dadcars thank you sir, good video mate nice points you made . For once I find a positive review on them most hate how they handle but in all of those videos the traction is on. With it off it transforms the car how it performs in the corners. (A tuned one anyway) I’ve beaten many cars some nearly 100k over the price of what I paid. Definitely best value for money car out there imo. I’ve wanted one since I was 7 years only in 2007 when it was released. Finally got one this year just had to make sure all of the engine out issues have been done (oil seal as u mention and there’s coolant pipes in arch that corrode that results in engine out to get the job done correctly). I’ve subscribed look forward to the video with the c7👌🏼
The do it all Autobahn cruiser 😏 can’t argue with that engine note! The only comparisons were the M5 Touring, but it was only rear wheel drive, before BMW started putting X Drive everywhere, or the Merc E63 AMG Wagon, but again its rear wheel and V8 powered. The RS6 would have been my pick of the bunch, although turbos always act as an extra silencer so there is always room to make the engine sing even louder 😏
A pal of mine once took me out in his bi turbo V6 diesel Avant. Insanely quick with tidal waves of torque. He took me out on the autobahn… it felt like a missile.
Watching your channel is dangerous, no seriously it’s great 👍 Been looking at these as well, another car that’s seriously cheap at the moment but has the potential for financial ruin 😂😂 Watched the full video now, I need one of these 😂
Head: it'll financially ruin me. Heart: V10! Heart wins.
lol 😂 💯
This is the truest comment on the internet!
Always follow your heart
Love the fact that Pickle will always know the difference between a dry and wet sump. But probably never remember how she knows.
Lol 😂 👏🙌
The shower and bath analogy is brilliant. If it is yours, congrats,it takes someone very intelligent to pull those analogies

I drive a C6, but it has no V10 and it isn't made by Audi either 🙃 Maybe I should switch to this C6 it makes a lot more sense in Germany too.

Anyone spot the extensive oil equipment in the boot?
Would of bought this if I was 29 without giving a second thoughts on repair costs. Now I’m 39, have to think 5 times now
Perfect 40th birthday present 🤷♂️
A pal of mine once took me out in his bi turbo V6 diesel Avant. Insanely quick with tidal waves of torque. He took me out on the autobahn… it felt like a missile.
Yep Audi know how to make a motorway monster don’t they 😮💨
This car is just an absolute weapon
That engine is just epic 😍
It’s really is 😍
Cracking review, fantastic motor
❤ ah cool . Wish my daughter enjoyed fast driving, gets bored of me going on lol
Mine did fall asleep very quickly… I’m sure it’s my voice 😅
cheap to buy ≠ affordable
You look like TGE TV
Thanks!
Wow thanks Frank! 🥹🙌🙌🙌🙌
@@dadcars Your welcome Ben. Anytime.
Watching your channel is dangerous, no seriously it’s great 👍
Been looking at these as well, another car that’s seriously cheap at the moment but has the potential for financial ruin 😂😂
Watched the full video now, I need one of these 😂
Did you head to the classifieds after watching? 😅
@@dadcarsI do pretty much after everyone of your videos 😂
@@gavinstreet9694 👏👏👏🙌😅
The bath analogy is not a bad one…
Did you come up with it?
Yeah! Makes sense though, right? 😅
@@dadcars it’s a good one !!
Ben… do you lift?
😂😂 💪
Ultimate dad car = Volvo xc90 mk1 2.5T petrol. I’ve had mine for 5 years. Doesn’t get any better.
Correction: that's the ultimate soccer mom car... Just saying...
For me SUVs just don’t do it but it’s all about what makes each one of us smile personally 😊
@@dule23 🤔 maybe the D5
@@EagerMrd nope... V90, any engine...
@@dule23 maybe you can’t read, at no point did I mention a v90. Xc90 2.5T is the ultimate sad car,
