A6 VS RS6?

[Dave Eaton]

buy right, and you'll have no regrets. it's an excellent car for cruising,
or for having a blast - and can carry a family of 5. stunning engine...

warranty is essential as it can be an expensive car to fix.  transmissions
and drc suspension seem to cause problems. everything else is good. mine has
been almost perfect however...

i have upgraded the electronics (rns-e w/ b/t & ipod) so that it still looks
modern compared to the new model.  drive a good one back to back with a new
a6, and it won't be that hard to choose.
