Yes, it's a very nice, luxurious car that can deliver good performance. Very practical on a daily basis very good alternative if you are looking for the power that an rs6 can give but with the comfort of a 5 series.
I have the S6 2.9T . in our market it does come with lane assist that self steers. it also has a electric supercharger to avoid the turbo lag so I'm surprised at your comment about response time . I would consider the 550i but fuel consumption is much higher and prefer the tech and quality of the Audi as opposed to the E53. It's a very nice alternative, practical and fast alternative in our SUV dominated world. I also find the handling with the rear steering excellent for this size of car.

I love how it flies under the radar. You wouldn't know that this is Audi's very fast sedan from the outside, which is nice. You get into these Ferraris and Lambos and everyone just hates you or makes a big scene every time you park. This sedan looks like just another Audi, which is nice to see in the land of overly styled sport sedan market
The info screen is perfect in size. I wish more manufacturers installed the screen into the design of the dash instead of a massive ipad just thrown into place.
I think the reason More manufacturers don't do it is likely VW Group I.E. the parent company of Audi may have a patent on that technology and others don't want to pay VW Group so they can't legally use their gage screen like that.
It's wild to me that a car like this at that price point doesn't have cooled seats. With leather seats in the south, those are a game changer and seem to be pretty standard in this kind of a car, and optional in alot of cheaper ones.
Audi can’t be bothered to engineer ventilation on their quilted seats for some reason. The plain black leather ones do but color choice is limited to black
Doug, it has automatic steering! You have to press the button on the side of the stalk that you were touching. It's not labeled, but I'm sure it's there. I have a 2023 A5 that has the feature, there's no way this doesn't have it.
Recently picked up a 2015 s6 51k miles. Put about 1k miles already and Jesus I love this car. So much for the money and so far 0 issues, obv with such a short time, but I’ve been dailying it and nothing but fun and smiles.
Long time audi driver here, I have a mildly tuned '16 S6 and absolutely feel as though its the best all-rounder I've ever driven. It's a stealth highway missel, proper tires in the Summer and it can manage most twisties without issues and conversely do a fantastic job in the mountains in Winter months. I put a large ski box on top for long road trips and combined with the large trunk can swallow allot of gear comfortably. I've driven several 1000+ mile stints and get out feeling relatively good. Its a 100lb.'s lighter than the S7 counterpart as well. The market is wide open for them so good buys can be had.
I don't even care about Audis that much, but I have to say I love when Doug shows us a more obscure model in a brand's line-up! Also, I remember when this A6 launched and I was like "That's such a pretty car :o" then A7 and RS6 launched and and I never looked back 😂❤️
@@Benjamin_Jehne The title of the video implies obscurity. I don't know what Doug was thinking with that one. Nobody forgot about it; everyone knows it's there and there's just nothing to discuss about it. It's "Audi's mildly-sporty sedan that doesn't have cramped backseats and doesn't approach $100K."
Hey Doug - great review as always. When mentioning the quirks/ features of the trunk don’t forget the rear seats fold down making the trunk quite functional. For a cyclist like me I bought this car so I didn’t have to go the SUV route. Also put it Dynamic mode then Sport mode and it is much faster than my previous BMW 540. I love my S6!
I really like my A6 because of the tech, interior, and driving experience. I don’t know if A6/S6 drivers even want this car to be as mainstream as the 5 series or E class cars. It’s understated and I’m good with that as long as Audi doesn’t forget about it 😂
I think this screen size is perfect. Large screens ruin the look of the dash and this screen size is equally functional and keeps the design of the dash just as it should be. I was in a Q3 last month, same dashboard, and love it. Design and functions, not judt a big screen in the air like tesla
I think this is the best-looking sedan on the market. I especially like how muscular it looks under the C pillar. Absolutely gorgeous. A shame people don't really like sedans anymore. I would buy this over any SUV.
Sedans have just gotten way too low and impractical for most people. You look atbolder sedans and they just had much more practical deisgns. Also trunks are huge waste of potential space.
@@7cougar0 Trucks are just there for me. You know what you're getting. Sedans have actively shot themselves in the foot (wheel?) constantly. That's why people are moving away from it.
I really like the 2.9 TFSI these cars get in the overseas market. In Europe they are unfortunately only sold with a 3.0l TDI engine with a whole 100 less horsepower. The Diesel does not only have less power than the equivalent car in other markets, it literally has 100 less horsepower than the previous European market S6 as well. Even if the Diesel was even remotely able to match the 2.9 TFSI in performance (which it absolutely isn't, it's almost a second slower 0-60), the Diesel still wouldn't be the car to get. You buy an S6 because you care about the performance and the driving experience, which the Diesel just can't deliver. It doesn't feel special in any way despite having S6 badging all over the place, it looks and feels like some boring airport rental car and the Diesel exhaust note doesn't help in any way.
Came here to write exactly the same thing but you were first:). In Poland I definitely see more rs6's and rs7's than s6's. And it is no brainer why, who in his right mind would think "I want sportier version of audi A6 so .... I will take the one with diesel under the bonnet".
Can only agree with you, drove the S6 Avant back when it was brand new, for a few weeks. Of course not a bad car, but just felt like an A6 with a big diesel and some fake V8 sound when in "Dynamic" Mode, just felt nowhere near as sporty or thrilling as an M340i for example.
@@oskarskalski2982 W Luksemburgu mamy podobnie. Oglądałem ostatnio S6 w salonie. Wnętrze ładne itp ale nie rozumiem czemu nie mogli zrobić po prostu wersji competition z dieselem.

Now would be a good time to remind everyone that Audi was the first brand to pioneer LED strips in their headlights leading to full LED light bars in both headlights and tail lights in pretty much every car nowadays. That being said, they still better be good at designing new age lighting
The writing pad is so cute. You'd think they would know better in Germany. Try writing names like this on that pad: "Burgemeester Baron van Voorst tot Voorstweg" "Wethouder Fierman Eduard Meerburg senior kade" "Ir. Mr. Dr. van Waterschoot van der Grachtstraat" For some insane reason the thought that names and titles of people would make for good street names. I have no clue what most of the streets near me are called even though I've lived here for 15 years.
Pretty sure I saw the Lane keep assist button on the lighting stalk. Steers car to stay in lane. Also park assist, which guides steering into and out of parking spots. So it does have steering assist with the auto cruise control. President the button on the end of the lighting stalk
The v6 is definitely the low side of the S6, but I personally think I enjoyed this over the other German offerings in the segment. There’s just something rock solid and easy about an Audi sedan, simple and relaxed. I guess I just don’t look for high performance in a midsized or larger sedan, but I want passing power. The BMW is way too busy on the inside and the Merc just doesn’t feel as premium with its creaking interior trim pieces. I guess as a premium and powerful daily driver this seems to suit the mold for me.
@@kevinjones5560I'm curious, on your deathbed or the deathbed of your loved ones, do you still hope that prayer is merely superstitious and ineffective?
I love the US take on this. Sedans are the standard in Germany, even now when SUVs are popular as well. Most people buy sedans or, when they have a family, a waggon. A6, 5 Series and E-Class are the standard cars of the middle class business man. The Passat Waggon is the Car most bought/ leased by the middle class dad. And I would say, Audi, BMW and Mercedes are on the same level of sales here in germany. No matter if 3 series, A4 or C-Class or the big brothers 5 series, A6 or the E-Class. It's still the norm here that you want a german Car when you have the money for it. We usually don't buy asian cars and especially not french or american cars.
I hate big screens the size of the one on this car is proportional to the interior and doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s a car, not an ipad on wheels.
The A6 is my favorite Audi model! Edit: I think it’s forgotten because Audi forgot about it. They don’t put much thought into keeping it relevant and comparable to its competitors.
it's not forgotten, only 10% behind the E class. Doug was just talking shit :D . " In Q1 2023 the BMW 5 Series maintains the top of the leaderboard with 70,885 sales, reaching 15.7% market share and a 14.2% loss in sales. Manufactured since 1972, the 5 Series is the second best-selling BMW ever with over 7 million sales globally so far. In February 2017 the 7th generation production began. In second place ranks the Mercedes E Class, which sold 64,499 units (-11.3%). Starting with the new naming strategy applied by Mercedes in the early ’90s, the model began production in 1993 and is actually at its 5th generation (since 2016). The Audi A6 maintains 3rd position with 59,599 cumulative sales, a 41.1% decrease from the prior year."
The marketing teams can't fathom the idea that SUV carry not just more... it can carry a household.... as in people are buying up SUVs thanks to 2020 and getting kicked out of their homes noticing that a SUV is way more comfortable to sleep in than a sedan... I wish I had a SUV to sleep in... when I was homeless and now because I would remain without a house... only more so by choice... just to save money... the largest expenses people can have is rent/mortgage, which mortgage is cheaper if you qualify to own a home, and owning a car... now a car being a home on wheels that is legal and you can live in if you should go homeless because you rent or couldn't afford the house you got... is a better option to buy just in case terrible things happen... you have a place to stay... your SUV... its similar to the Great Depression when banks were not trusted and people hide their money in mattresses.....same things here.... its a ... if I get kicked out at least I have the SUV to live in instead of a tent under a bridge....LOL
Doug had grown up so much over the years. It was not very long ago he said he was a mere 6’2 in his videos. Must be something in that California water out there.
Hey guys I am Doug DeMuro. Unlike other car reviewers I like touch screens. Even though collectively everyone agrees touch screens are a nightmare to use when driving. I think Audi should make their screens bigger for even more touching. Even though many auto makers have come forth and agreed to bring back more buttons I like this touch surface Doug that brings up the camera system. Card and Bids DeMuro.
i own a well modified 2018 S6 (with the 4.0 v8) and it is by far the greatest car i’ve ever owned. putting out around 800 to the wheels and can still pull well over 30 mpg on a road trip with a car full of ppl and a trunk full of luggage. what’s not to like?
We're on our third C7 S6 and after driving our 2018 back to back with the 2023 model, both my wife and I greatly preferred the last model. Nothing beats the sound of a V8, and tuning adds 165 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque. Last generation S6 with ECU/TCU tune and aftermarket swaybars is the way to go. Cannot be beat.
In Europe, we get the C8 S6 with a 3.0 V6 diesel, producing 344hp and 516lbft of torque. Quite a bummer the S6 is a diesel in Europe (and I think South Korea too).
@@DaveDVideoMaker Yeah, I know, I have am A6 wagon (though only C5 :D)... But the VW EVs as a wagon are particularly nonexistent. An A4/A5/A6 wagon would be nice as an EV. Not these "SUVish" VW ID. models. A real Audi with Multilink. I think thr Q8 is the first EV with a Multilink from Audi...
To be fair, for under $1000 you can do a stage 1 tune and get those HP up over 500, plus add another 100f lb of torque and smooth out the power delivery. For anyone that wants to save some money and get performance equal to the E63 or M550, it’s still a great option.
Doug is wrong about this car, he doesn’t like sedans and that’s pretty obvious here. Honestly this is an understated car that should’ve been right up his alley but I don’t think he got the appeal of it
I always thought I was a five-door type when it came to cars, thinking greater jack-of-all-trades utility, but between the A7/S7 and the A6/S6 I like the 6 best. It doesn't try to be everything. I think with the advent of SUVs and jacked wagons like the Allroad etc, that naturally excelled better at the actual utility part, I developed a new appreciation for traditional old school sedans that no longer have to "do it all." A friend has an SL, and he actually prides himself that he can't take an extra passenger when is sometimes asked.... it says you're wealthy enough that you can afford to just say "no"... and have strictly a toy for your own driving pleasure. Perhaps a bit of odd psychology but, you can't do what you can't do! Well, the sedan is sort of that way about stuff! When it comes to apartment moving duty: "Sorry, I can't..." 🙂 I'm not advocating for being a jerk to friends here, you help how you can, but sometimes there is an advantage to not owning a 'moving van' like virtually everybody has now, for everybody to assume...! That...and it's beautiful. I like it better than the sleek 7.
Most auto manufacturers use flat-line for the radar sensors which have more limitations compared to dome which is what Audi uses mainly in their line up, with few exceptions. The dome radar sensors just work better and can detect more. In addition, Audi does an incredible job at hiding features that these cars have by not labeling. Once you get to know the car, everything is ergonomically designed you don't need any labels because it becomes muscle memory. It's one of the best features about Audi compared to other auto manufacturers.
My sister has a 2014 s6 with the ttV8… she got it at around 70k miles and now has 128k miles lol minor electrical problems but other than that good so far and she refuses to sell it till the engine blows That V8 is so charming and muscular. I dont blame anyone for not buying the new s6
I have this car. One incorrect point Doug. The car does auto steer in lane assist mode. It also has pre collision features that wakes you up of ur sleep and if u don’t respond it will pull over and stop. The care is magnificent. Just bc it doesn’t do what Tesla sometimes does 😂 doesn’t mean it’s doesn’t have the auto steering feature. Oh and the volume knob is also the mute button and power button if the car is off :)
I see the S6 every now and then here in Germany, but i definitely see more RS6 Models, so definitely doesn't seem too popular, though its a great Car. That might be because i'm in Germany and Audi S and RS Models are absolutely everywhere in general anyway. The S6 is definitely subtle though! When i see the S6 it's usually some older Man driving it, while the S5 which looks less subtle is mostly driven by younger People. That said, i didn't even know the S6 available in the USA, aren't there several Audi S Models that aren't even sold in the US, only some RS Models? Prost & Cheers from Germany
@@227conejo True, but only the Facelift models after 2019. S4, S5, S6, S7 and the S8. Very sad too see. I recently bough a e38 740i but I my dream car is the prefacelift S5 F5

The A6 is so underrated. IMO it has better looks than its competition. Still carry that classy and sober clean design of the early 00’s Audi models. I love the S6. No horrid scoops, vents like some RS models.
First time I think Doug made a mistake, if you want an Audi sedan the S8 is the top of the line - 3:00. Still a big enthusiast of his videos. Just pointing this out.
You don't need adaptive cruise control and Lane assist and all that garbage. It's called keeping your eyes open and paying attention. If you can't do that then you don't deserve to have a driver's license.
💯 I immediately turn all those electronic nannies off every time I start my car. I am much more likely to get into an accident from being startled by the pre-warning system jerking the car than actually hitting another vehicle.
How does a car this pricey not have active lane keep assist as standard? Heck, my $27k Kia Forte had it and it was an amazing system. The base model Honda Civic has that feature lol. After getting the feature on my last 4 cars, I would never buy another one without it, especially considering even cheap economy cars have it now
It does have it, there is a button on the side of the turn signal and that turns it on. It keeps you in the lane really well and also stop and go traffic, every 20 seconds or so you'd have to touch the steering wheel like a Tesla. It doesn't have auto lane change though
The same reason Porsche and all the other luxury carmakers nickel and dime you for stuff that's standard on a base model Honda. They know you're not cross-shopping this with a Honda. You want a German luxury car and you're willing to pay for it. They make stuff like adaptive cruise control optional because they can. Porsche would charge extra for transparent glass and round wheels if they could.
@@jonlosito2004 Sadly that trend is becoming pretty visible here as well. People don't really buy wagons anymore, they just get SUVs. And SUVs in most cases are usually basically lifted hatchbacks, something like 1,3l engine and FWD. Ridiculous.
But okay fine Audi is always the car brand that has less power than its majn competitors but now people always seem to forget that Audi did say that they were more focused on the GT side of life and not much the performance hence when we talking abbout ride quality Audi most of the times takes the dub cause remember BMW is more for track usage and Merc is more for the beastly over the top thing but look who's to judge🤷🏾♂️

He just over looked the button. You can see the car he test has it equipped at the 11:05 mark. It is on the end of the turn signal
I love how it flies under the radar. You wouldn't know that this is Audi's very fast sedan from the outside, which is nice. You get into these Ferraris and Lambos and everyone just hates you or makes a big scene every time you park. This sedan looks like just another Audi, which is nice to see in the land of overly styled sport sedan market
The info screen is perfect in size. I wish more manufacturers installed the screen into the design of the dash instead of a massive ipad just thrown into place.
+1 I actually love how BMW incorporated idrive screen in the E90 and F10
I think the reason More manufacturers don't do it is likely VW Group I.E. the parent company of Audi may have a patent on that technology and others don't want to pay VW Group so they can't legally use their gage screen like that.
@@mistx7115 bro what? a patent on having a screen blended into the dash?
@@rin_nq More about how that screen blends into the dash than simply the screen blends into the dash in the first place.
It's wild to me that a car like this at that price point doesn't have cooled seats. With leather seats in the south, those are a game changer and seem to be pretty standard in this kind of a car, and optional in alot of cheaper ones.
Audi can’t be bothered to engineer ventilation on their quilted seats for some reason. The plain black leather ones do but color choice is limited to black
Doug, it has automatic steering! You have to press the button on the side of the stalk that you were touching. It's not labeled, but I'm sure it's there. I have a 2023 A5 that has the feature, there's no way this doesn't have it.
This is the best looking sedan in the market. Period. It's so subtle yet muscular
Recently picked up a 2015 s6 51k miles. Put about 1k miles already and Jesus I love this car. So much for the money and so far 0 issues, obv with such a short time, but I’ve been dailying it and nothing but fun and smiles.
You can turn on the lane change assist with the OBD11 scan tool. I did it in my S5 Sportback
S6 owners won't "hack" their cars.
I have a 2015 version of this car and love the obd11
@@pharkasj I wouldnt really call it hacking... more like just flipping the switch from off to on but understand where your coming from
Long time audi driver here, I have a mildly tuned '16 S6 and absolutely feel as though its the best all-rounder I've ever driven. It's a stealth highway missel, proper tires in the Summer and it can manage most twisties without issues and conversely do a fantastic job in the mountains in Winter months. I put a large ski box on top for long road trips and combined with the large trunk can swallow allot of gear comfortably. I've driven several 1000+ mile stints and get out feeling relatively good. Its a 100lb.'s lighter than the S7 counterpart as well. The market is wide open for them so good buys can be had.
I never forgot about the S6! Still one of my favorite sport sedans.
I don't even care about Audis that much, but I have to say I love when Doug shows us a more obscure model in a brand's line-up!
Also, I remember when this A6 launched and I was like "That's such a pretty car :o" then A7 and RS6 launched and and I never looked back 😂❤️
Obscure model lol
Obscure?
Obscure? The A6 is THE standard model next to the A4.
@@Benjamin_Jehne The title of the video implies obscurity. I don't know what Doug was thinking with that one. Nobody forgot about it; everyone knows it's there and there's just nothing to discuss about it. It's "Audi's mildly-sporty sedan that doesn't have cramped backseats and doesn't approach $100K."
Hey Doug - great review as always. When mentioning the quirks/ features of the trunk don’t forget the rear seats fold down making the trunk quite functional. For a cyclist like me I bought this car so I didn’t have to go the SUV route.
Also put it Dynamic mode then Sport mode and it is much faster than my previous BMW 540.
I love my S6!
Yes! Rear fold down seats is a must have for us cyclist!
What do you do for living
They have auto steering for lane keeping but not for lane changing. Button is on the turning light control stick!
It’s very weird that you posted this video today but this morning I was watching a bunch of videos on the S6 🤔 😅
@@WaveManMike have you bought the s6?
It does have lane keep assist and it works great! Drove from NY to Florida and back last summer barely touching the steering wheel.
I love the look of the grille with the sensors obviously placed
I love luxury sport sedans and am afraid of continually seeing less and less options available in the segment. Hopefully these stick around.
agree, I can't stand SUVs, they are soccer Mom mobiles with a twist. Always been a fan of sports sedans, I have an S3 stage 2 and its a total BLAST
I really like my A6 because of the tech, interior, and driving experience. I don’t know if A6/S6 drivers even want this car to be as mainstream as the 5 series or E class cars. It’s understated and I’m good with that as long as Audi doesn’t forget about it 😂
I think this screen size is perfect. Large screens ruin the look of the dash and this screen size is equally functional and keeps the design of the dash just as it should be. I was in a Q3 last month, same dashboard, and love it. Design and functions, not judt a big screen in the air like tesla
I think this is the best-looking sedan on the market. I especially like how muscular it looks under the C pillar. Absolutely gorgeous. A shame people don't really like sedans anymore. I would buy this over any SUV.
yup I love the S6 as well, it would compliment my stage 2 S3 8.5V perfectly . I can't stand SUV's, they are glorified soccer Mom mobiles.
Sedans have just gotten way too low and impractical for most people. You look atbolder sedans and they just had much more practical deisgns. Also trunks are huge waste of potential space.
@@baronvonjo1929 Tell that to truck buyers...
@@7cougar0 Trucks are just there for me. You know what you're getting. Sedans have actively shot themselves in the foot (wheel?) constantly. That's why people are moving away from it.
I really like the 2.9 TFSI these cars get in the overseas market. In Europe they are unfortunately only sold with a 3.0l TDI engine with a whole 100 less horsepower. The Diesel does not only have less power than the equivalent car in other markets, it literally has 100 less horsepower than the previous European market S6 as well. Even if the Diesel was even remotely able to match the 2.9 TFSI in performance (which it absolutely isn't, it's almost a second slower 0-60), the Diesel still wouldn't be the car to get. You buy an S6 because you care about the performance and the driving experience, which the Diesel just can't deliver. It doesn't feel special in any way despite having S6 badging all over the place, it looks and feels like some boring airport rental car and the Diesel exhaust note doesn't help in any way.
Came here to write exactly the same thing but you were first:). In Poland I definitely see more rs6's and rs7's than s6's. And it is no brainer why, who in his right mind would think "I want sportier version of audi A6 so .... I will take the one with diesel under the bonnet".
Absolutely dreadful that they do not offer the S6 with this 2.9 tfsi powertrain and avant in Europe. That car would at least have a chance.
Can only agree with you, drove the S6 Avant back when it was brand new, for a few weeks.
Of course not a bad car, but just felt like an A6 with a big diesel and some fake V8 sound when in "Dynamic" Mode, just felt nowhere near as sporty or thrilling as an M340i for example.
The next gen S will have a petrol engine in europe aswell.
@@oskarskalski2982 W Luksemburgu mamy podobnie. Oglądałem ostatnio S6 w salonie. Wnętrze ładne itp ale nie rozumiem czemu nie mogli zrobić po prostu wersji competition z dieselem. Bardzo lubię diesle, ale jednak S6 w dieslu... no coś tu nie pasuje. Poza tym te obrzydliwe sztuczne końcówki układu wydechowego...
Now would be a good time to remind everyone that Audi was the first brand to pioneer LED strips in their headlights leading to full LED light bars in both headlights and tail lights in pretty much every car nowadays. That being said, they still better be good at designing new age lighting
The writing pad is so cute. You'd think they would know better in Germany. Try writing names like this on that pad:
"Burgemeester Baron van Voorst tot Voorstweg"
"Wethouder Fierman Eduard Meerburg senior kade"
"Ir. Mr. Dr. van Waterschoot van der Grachtstraat"
For some insane reason the thought that names and titles of people would make for good street names. I have no clue what most of the streets near me are called even though I've lived here for 15 years.
thats crazy
Audi has most of the RS models in the states yet doesn’t want to bring the rs4. I just want an rs4 avant
Pretty sure I saw the Lane keep assist button on the lighting stalk. Steers car to stay in lane. Also park assist, which guides steering into and out of parking spots. So it does have steering assist with the auto cruise control. President the button on the end of the lighting stalk
Looks so good from outside and inside, wish i had one of these.
The v6 is definitely the low side of the S6, but I personally think I enjoyed this over the other German offerings in the segment. There’s just something rock solid and easy about an Audi sedan, simple and relaxed. I guess I just don’t look for high performance in a midsized or larger sedan, but I want passing power. The BMW is way too busy on the inside and the Merc just doesn’t feel as premium with its creaking interior trim pieces. I guess as a premium and powerful daily driver this seems to suit the mold for me.
Really Doug ?
About the steering.
Press a button on end of turn signal stock, it will steer for over 20 seconds.
I own A6
IT HAS IT!!!!!!
I don’t understand how he could make a statement like that, such a huge criticism, without doing a minute of research to see that it has auto steer.
He’s a C- marketing major from Emory University, what do you expect???
Still such a lovely car. Be glad you're not in Europe, where this is a 349hp V6 Tdi....
So basically a glorified Audi s4?

I love the US take on this. Sedans are the standard in Germany, even now when SUVs are popular as well. Most people buy sedans or, when they have a family, a waggon. A6, 5 Series and E-Class are the standard cars of the middle class business man. The Passat Waggon is the Car most bought/ leased by the middle class dad. And I would say, Audi, BMW and Mercedes are on the same level of sales here in germany. No matter if 3 series, A4 or C-Class or the big brothers 5 series, A6 or the E-Class.
It's still the norm here that you want a german Car when you have the money for it. We usually don't buy asian cars and especially not french or american cars.
Someone tell Doug that the S8 is the top of the line...
I hate big screens the size of the one on this car is proportional to the interior and doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s a car, not an ipad on wheels.
The A6 is my favorite Audi model!
Edit: I think it’s forgotten because Audi forgot about it. They don’t put much thought into keeping it relevant and comparable to its competitors.
it's not forgotten, only 10% behind the E class. Doug was just talking shit :D . " In Q1 2023 the BMW 5 Series maintains the top of the leaderboard with 70,885 sales, reaching 15.7% market share and a 14.2% loss in sales. Manufactured since 1972, the 5 Series is the second best-selling BMW ever with over 7 million sales globally so far. In February 2017 the 7th generation production began.
In second place ranks the Mercedes E Class, which sold 64,499 units (-11.3%). Starting with the new naming strategy applied by Mercedes in the early ’90s, the model began production in 1993 and is actually at its 5th generation (since 2016).
The Audi A6 maintains 3rd position with 59,599 cumulative sales, a 41.1% decrease from the prior year."

The marketing teams can't fathom the idea that SUV carry not just more... it can carry a household.... as in people are buying up SUVs thanks to 2020 and getting kicked out of their homes noticing that a SUV is way more comfortable to sleep in than a sedan... I wish I had a SUV to sleep in... when I was homeless and now because I would remain without a house... only more so by choice... just to save money... the largest expenses people can have is rent/mortgage, which mortgage is cheaper if you qualify to own a home, and owning a car... now a car being a home on wheels that is legal and you can live in if you should go homeless because you rent or couldn't afford the house you got... is a better option to buy just in case terrible things happen... you have a place to stay... your SUV... its similar to the Great Depression when banks were not trusted and people hide their money in mattresses.....same things here.... its a ... if I get kicked out at least I have the SUV to live in instead of a tent under a bridge....LOL
Still looks so fresh, solid and tight compare to the Bimmer and Benz imho.. such a clean and ‘well dressed’ timeless design! 👌🏼
Doug had grown up so much over the years. It was not very long ago he said he was a mere 6’2 in his videos. Must be something in that California water out there.
Love this generation A6/S6. What a car! 👌
Hey guys I am Doug DeMuro. Unlike other car reviewers I like touch screens. Even though collectively everyone agrees touch screens are a nightmare to use when driving. I think Audi should make their screens bigger for even more touching. Even though many auto makers have come forth and agreed to bring back more buttons I like this touch surface Doug that brings up the camera system. Card and Bids DeMuro.
i own a well modified 2018 S6 (with the 4.0 v8) and it is by far the greatest car i’ve ever owned. putting out around 800 to the wheels and can still pull well over 30 mpg on a road trip with a car full of ppl and a trunk full of luggage. what’s not to like?
4:37 those adaptive cruise radar would probably appeal to the euro customers that get to pretend that they are under cover police 😂
I think this and the f90 m550 are the best looking sedans currently made
after owning audi’s since 2012, i traded my A6 for a supercharged jaguar XE S…i’m NEVER looking back. ✌🏼
We're on our third C7 S6 and after driving our 2018 back to back with the 2023 model, both my wife and I greatly preferred the last model. Nothing beats the sound of a V8, and tuning adds 165 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque. Last generation S6 with ECU/TCU tune and aftermarket swaybars is the way to go. Cannot be beat.
Steering and handling is much worse on the old model though.
@kraenk12 The S Sport package with dynamic steering and the addition of Eurocode swaybars made a world of difference on the C7.5.
This car is straight. No BS.
In Europe, we get the C8 S6 with a 3.0 V6 diesel, producing 344hp and 516lbft of torque.
Quite a bummer the S6 is a diesel in Europe (and I think South Korea too).
If they would just make a body with a battery pack underneath... and a wagon :P
@@rkan2 There is a wagon S6 in Europe and Japan. The European model has the diesel that I said, and the Japanese model has the RS4 / RS5 engine.
@@DaveDVideoMaker Yeah, I know, I have am A6 wagon (though only C5 :D)... But the VW EVs as a wagon are particularly nonexistent. An A4/A5/A6 wagon would be nice as an EV. Not these "SUVish" VW ID. models. A real Audi with Multilink. I think thr Q8 is the first EV with a Multilink from Audi...
@@rkan2 Volkswagen will work on an ID7 wagon later on, and Audi will make an A6 e-tron too.
I think C7 Audis were the peak of Audi designs but this is beautiful too’
I think an RS6 sedan would sell better than the RS7
There isn’t one…
No it wouldn't because RS7 looks so much better
well why make an rs6 sedan when the rs7 exists anyway
To be fair, for under $1000 you can do a stage 1 tune and get those HP up over 500, plus add another 100f lb of torque and smooth out the power delivery. For anyone that wants to save some money and get performance equal to the E63 or M550, it’s still a great option.
Doug, you missed it, the lane centering is on the turn signal stalk! Great review!
Doug is wrong about this car, he doesn’t like sedans and that’s pretty obvious here. Honestly this is an understated car that should’ve been right up his alley but I don’t think he got the appeal of it
I test drove a RS6 with the twin turbo 4.2L V8 back in the day. That shit was fun AF but I feared the reliability.
Same
I daily a 2014 S6 tuned to stage 2 on the 4.0T V8. Absolute best car ever!
I always thought I was a five-door type when it came to cars, thinking greater jack-of-all-trades utility, but between the A7/S7 and the A6/S6 I like the 6 best. It doesn't try to be everything. I think with the advent of SUVs and jacked wagons like the Allroad etc, that naturally excelled better at the actual utility part, I developed a new appreciation for traditional old school sedans that no longer have to "do it all." A friend has an SL, and he actually prides himself that he can't take an extra passenger when is sometimes asked.... it says you're wealthy enough that you can afford to just say "no"... and have strictly a toy for your own driving pleasure. Perhaps a bit of odd psychology but, you can't do what you can't do! Well, the sedan is sort of that way about stuff! When it comes to apartment moving duty: "Sorry, I can't..." 🙂 I'm not advocating for being a jerk to friends here, you help how you can, but sometimes there is an advantage to not owning a 'moving van' like virtually everybody has now, for everybody to assume...!
That...and it's beautiful. I like it better than the sleek 7.
This video is awesome!
Also, I would like to see a Honda Element review from Doug.
The A6 is a very common Audi model in Europe though!! Highly popular too. Never seen a Sedan A6 though. Here we got only the station A6.
where do you live that you don't see sedans? They are all over the place in Bosnia
What a fantastic color!
The S6 is very popular in Europe, far from forgotten.
Bring back the beautifull old school screen where you ask people to email you so you can film with their car.

Most auto manufacturers use flat-line for the radar sensors which have more limitations compared to dome which is what Audi uses mainly in their line up, with few exceptions. The dome radar sensors just work better and can detect more. In addition, Audi does an incredible job at hiding features that these cars have by not labeling. Once you get to know the car, everything is ergonomically designed you don't need any labels because it becomes muscle memory. It's one of the best features about Audi compared to other auto manufacturers.
My sister has a 2014 s6 with the ttV8… she got it at around 70k miles and now has 128k miles lol minor electrical problems but other than that good so far and she refuses to sell it till the engine blows

I have this car. One incorrect point Doug. The car does auto steer in lane assist mode. It also has pre collision features that wakes you up of ur sleep and if u don’t respond it will pull over and stop. The care is magnificent. Just bc it doesn’t do what Tesla sometimes does 😂 doesn’t mean it’s doesn’t have the auto steering feature. Oh and the volume knob is also the mute button and power button if the car is off :)
In Germany the S6 is a Diesel. It is for fast Autobahn driving.
"fast" only 250kmh
@@TheCamoPowerKing 250kmh is fast bro. every new car has a limited top speed
Sedans are NOT boring, and they are NOT getting phased out. There are millions of loyal sports sedan fans out there to stay.
Sales figures say otherwise
I see the S6 every now and then here in Germany, but i definitely see more RS6 Models, so definitely doesn't seem too popular, though its a great Car.
That might be because i'm in Germany and Audi S and RS Models are absolutely everywhere in general anyway.
The S6 is definitely subtle though! When i see the S6 it's usually some older Man driving it, while the S5 which looks less subtle is mostly driven by younger People.
That said, i didn't even know the S6 available in the USA, aren't there several Audi S Models that aren't even sold in the US, only some RS Models?
Prost & Cheers from Germany
The S6 is diesel only in Europe.
the s6 has a tdi v6 in europe and a gasoline v6 borrowed from the rs4/5 in north america

Drove one at work probably my favorite line from Audi the a6 s6 and rs6 are amazing to drive
The A6 is so underrated. IMO it has better looks than its competition. Still carry that classy and sober clean design of the early 00’s Audi models. I love the S6. No horrid scoops, vents like some RS models.
First time I think Doug made a mistake, if you want an Audi sedan the S8 is the top of the line - 3:00. Still a big enthusiast of his videos. Just pointing this out.
I really like this car, it looks really good and I love the understated look.
You don't need adaptive cruise control and Lane assist and all that garbage. It's called keeping your eyes open and paying attention. If you can't do that then you don't deserve to have a driver's license.
💯 I immediately turn all those electronic nannies off every time I start my car. I am much more likely to get into an accident from being startled by the pre-warning system jerking the car than actually hitting another vehicle.
Doug is the type of guy to call his friend on his anniversary to celebrate his first cgt sighting
The RS6 is way cooler, it just makes everyone forget about the S6
How does a car this pricey not have active lane keep assist as standard? Heck, my $27k Kia Forte had it and it was an amazing system. The base model Honda Civic has that feature lol. After getting the feature on my last 4 cars, I would never buy another one without it, especially considering even cheap economy cars have it now
It does have it, there is a button on the side of the turn signal and that turns it on. It keeps you in the lane really well and also stop and go traffic, every 20 seconds or so you'd have to touch the steering wheel like a Tesla. It doesn't have auto lane change though
The same reason Porsche and all the other luxury carmakers nickel and dime you for stuff that's standard on a base model Honda. They know you're not cross-shopping this with a Honda. You want a German luxury car and you're willing to pay for it. They make stuff like adaptive cruise control optional because they can. Porsche would charge extra for transparent glass and round wheels if they could.
Doug is the type of guy to become a millionaire on RUclips and then continue his success with his car auction site.
Forgotten? These are not uncommon in Europe. S4 and S6 are popular "sports cars" here, you get the power and practicality in the same package.
You seem to have forgotten that we only care about American cars!!
Forgotten in the US, where obnoxious and useless SUVs and pickups are for some reason the go-to vehicle.
Yea but here is different. Most people prefer trucks, crossovers and SUVs over sedans for families and utilities nowadays.
@@jonlosito2004 Sadly that trend is becoming pretty visible here as well. People don't really buy wagons anymore, they just get SUVs. And SUVs in most cases are usually basically lifted hatchbacks, something like 1,3l engine and FWD. Ridiculous.
I've actually never seen an S6 or S7 from this generation in the UK, those with money who want performance seem to skip straight to the RS models
But okay fine Audi is always the car brand that has less power than its majn competitors but now people always seem to forget that Audi did say that they were more focused on the GT side of life and not much the performance hence when we talking abbout ride quality Audi most of the times takes the dub cause remember BMW is more for track usage and Merc is more for the beastly over the top thing but look who's to judge🤷🏾♂️
They’re not forgotten, they’ve been in the shop…
