I have a 2018 that I have had since new. Most satisfying car I have owned (and I am 72 so I have had a few). The current generation was a step backward. Replacing the sweet sounding V8 with the V6, the screens replacing the beautiful analog gauges, etc. The 20 inch wheels are plenty big enough but they insisted on going to 21. Hope this trend toward electronic gimmicks and ridiculously large wheels stops soon. If not for the changes, I would consider buying another one. If you want one, plan on some hefty maintenance costs. Tires last about 17K miles (maybe less now with the 21's), brakes every 30K miles that runs nearly $4K, $250 oil changes, etc.
Selecting Premium Plus or Prestige configuration allows to select the individual contour seats over the standard sport seats under Luxury package where the ventilation and massage functions are readily made available.
@@DriveSteady Yes, in Europe it's only available with 3.0 v6 diesel 349hp. I test drove it and felt slower than the most powerful version of petrol A6 🙁
@@panpawe4858just needs a nice tuning to get rid of the awful stuff they put in it to pass emissions, when thats done the diesel engine is absolutely awesome.
What do you think of the Audi S6?

I find it so weird that the S6 doesnt have massaging seats but my S4 does. Still LOVE the look of the new S6

Is that available in the US?
I'll answer my own question, yes it is.
From the joy in your voice you can tell how excited you were about reviewing it lol
Why would it be surprisingly good? Anything with an S badge will be good from audi. Especially their sedans. I'm tired of seeing SUV's...
Doesn't the S6 have the 2.9L?
Yes it does, I mis-stated it in the video. Good catch
It's much better than European version with Diesel engine 😩
Diesel? In the S6?

@@DriveSteadysame with the new s7 btw. Only 3.0l TDI. Pretty sad
I was into the video till I heard that V6 🤢

Damn I wish we had this car in Europe...
