[s-cars] RS6

[Bruce Mendel]

There's a reason they are so cheap.

Fun cars, but nose heavy (Ok, like most Audis), no manual, but most of 
all.......

...........they will eat you alive with repair costs and maintenance. T-belt 
engine out every 35K, DRC is flawed by design and fails often (although Audi 
recently agreed to kick in and had their supplier redesign the parts, but 
jury is still out). Transmissions occasionally go out at $9K repair cost, 
turbos occasionally blow at $9K repair cost, etc.

Scare car to own without a great extended warranty, but otherwise fun. Just 
too much downtime due to poor reliability as a general rule.
