    I have owned (and LOVED) my 08' S6 for the last 7 years. Finally getting to see one of my favorite youtubers do a review of my ride has made my week. Thanks Doug! The car he is reviewing is missing a few plastic covers & stickers and is a low-spec version. The highest spec has full carbon fibre trim, rear heated seats, S6 branded (front) carpets and a couple other options. Regarding the transmission, when you switch to "S" mode, the transmission sharpens up, and that's when you get to those faster figures. Mine is stock, and I was able to do 0-62 in just over 4.6 seconds. The subtle styling makes this car blend in really well, but its always fun to be at the lights and see guys suddenly notice the "V10" badge and start freaking out. Maintenance is NOT easy; averages roughly $1100/year, so keep that in mind when pricing. I got mine with low mileage 7 years ago, and I've taken proper care of it since, so I know everything is tip-top. I would be reluctant to buy a high mileage one of these without knowing completely how well the previous owner had taken care of it. The walnut blast alone is about $900, and I've had to get it done twice now with relatively low mileage (only use 94 octane), so keep that in mind.

    My friend bought a 07 S8 V10 just yesterday and today here I find a video of a similar car. I got to drive it around for an hour or two in various road conditions and I have to agree with the transmission draining power, and how quiet the car is, not revealing its V10 notes easily. However I found the handling amazing. I was driving uphill so understeer wasn't a problem but along with its aggressive sport mode for the air suspension, the large all wheel drive sedan felt like it has been thrown into the hairpin sideways, feeling like as if the car was hopping on its outer wheels with minimal roll during turn and launches violently as you floor the gas to exit the corner. It just felt so fun and satisfying. My friend's car have some malfunctions in the engine, which I am afraid he must require the engine to be dismounted in order to just access the engine. Everything in the engine bay looked so cramped, not as much as the S6 though.

      Exactly my thought when i heard him say that. The badges and the quad exhausts are the only thing that would differentiate the M5 to a 520d with an M-Sport body kit. Most german performance sedans of the time were subtle. Even the maniacs at AMG kept it pretty close to the regular cars.

    Doug, Great review of the S6. I've been a happy owner of a 2008 S6 since 2009. I think you overlooked what has been in my ownership experience an important, very useful "quirk," and that is the fold-down rear seats, which make the trunk space large enough for adults to lay down in, or haul a road bicycle, for example. I haven't seen a comparable newer performance sedan with fold-down rear seats, a feature that I've utilized quite often. Secondly, as you discussed the slower standing start speed, I think it would have been worth mentioning that the all-wheel drive adds roughly 90 lbs. per wheel. So, you're constantly carrying the added weight of approximately two extra Doug DeMuros, give or take, something the M5 or E63 does not. IMO, it is very difficult to find a comparable replacement. I can't justify buying a newer sedan and burning depreciation when my S6 is still such a fine performing car, solid interior as you describe, great leather and seats.

The car drives/handles amazing for what it is (LUXURY sport sedan). Will sit at 100mph all day. The only improvement I’d say would be the transmission and not necessarily making it faster. A 7th gear overdrive would go a long way at making the ride even smoother and more efficient.

I dont speak to them, he and his dad, but another neighbor i speak to all the time does. He told me that they dont want to pay to have it fixed right now. I forgot what the problem was. I think he mentioned the radiator being included in the problem though. Its crazy because two years ago i watched this same video and became interested in this car but remember reserching it and finding out it had a certain problem once the car reaches a certain milage. So i declined. But when that kid came home with that car i knew instantly what it was even before seeing the v10 and the S6 badge up close just because of the sounds it made. I told my wife i felt bad for the kid and it wasnt even a month before the car was broke down. If you aint mechanically inclined and dont have extra money laying around i would advise not to buy it.

      Yeah most European cars have issues when they reach a certain mileage, I bought a 328xi bmw right before a few parts went out but nobody knew what the issue was. It takes time for cars like this to get a certain mileage to iron out the bugs, ironically cars with less mileage are more often unreliable than cars with 100k-200k miles in my experience. Even the bmw I got was once looked at as “unreliable” but it ended up being the most reliable engine. You need to do your own work or have somebody that can to save money for repairs and maintenance, they’re specifically designed to be difficult to work on so you have to take it to the dealership but I heard once you take the parts off needed to work on internals it’s easy to work on audis, just a hassle to get the front off

      The bmw and the lancia engines were never fitted to a supercar.
      They could have been, but they never did.
      You could argue that the v12 fitted to the old 8 and 7 series was the basis of the mac f1 but even then, it was very much revised and upgraded , the Audi literally had the lambo /r8 lump.

    Once I had unique opportunity to drive tuned S8 V10 and it was a MONSTER! The 5-valve injection technology makes the engine exploding with tsunami of power every time pushing throttle just a bit harder…. Acceleration 100-140kph is immediate providing toxically addictive joy of speed. There is about half second delay between throttle move and engine reaction but it is not big deal after getting used to overall machine specifics. Gearbox is fine and shifts reasonably to character of a saloon. This is settled highway cruiser and not race track time-cutter. The owner keeps it since bought it new and proved this engine is thanks to no turbo is most reliable high-performance GTs ever…. Drawbacks? Brakes are very expensive and worn-out like tires do, air suspension is sensitive to irregular maintenance, fuel consumption is insane and don’t dare not to replace oil and filters as prescribed…. But… after profi conversion, this engine is capable to burn propane without any long-term damage if you include valve lubrication unit…. I would pick estate version with panorama roof, upgrading to allroad chassis on HD airbags.
