A6 VS RS6?

[Taka Mizutani]

A 5yr. old car that has no business having such a bulky drivetrain
shoehorned into the chassis.

You'll be paying exorbitant repair bills for basic stuff- starter, O2
sensors, etc. because you have to practically disassemble the car to get to
some ordinary repair items.

I drove a well-used one a couple years ago and the transmission didn't feel
right- I'll bet that you're looking at transmission failure and R/R for a
higher mile car. The really clean one that I drove didn't have those issues.
