Unfortunately the world has moved over to SUV because that's where they want to push the market. There are plenty of family saloons, coupes, station wagons and hatch backs. With me I'd buy this and the Acura type s
This car is an absolute masterpiece. If you never going off road why would you buy an SUV? This is excellent family/sports car which offers unbelievable comfort space and impeccable performance... Again I ask... If you never going to go off roading, why do you need an SUV?
@@nqobilemahlaba2230 I agree with you. Here in the states we don’t have enough wagon (saloon) and hatchback options. This option that Micah and his family drove is one of the few available over here. Unfortunately, it is way out of my price range. Oh, only if VW would bring a Sportwagen GTI this way…..
@@jeremytd7072 oh OK I understand. But in reality over the past few years they've be slowly killing off smaller cars to push the SUV lifestyle.. Hence the crossover category was created.. (corolla Cross, cross polo, polo vivo cross) to name a few. So they slowly eliminating the small car segments for SUVs. Even her in south Africa it's the same Fam.
It's not just the most beautiful wagon available today, it's one of the most beautiful vehicles of any type that is available today. This blue paint really adds to the look as well. On the downside are the shiny black plastic on the interior, as well as on the B and C pillars on the exterior. Buuuut... if I could afford an RS 6 Avant, I would consider buying one, regardless. Being an armchair dreamer, I can be picky 😆
@@AdonaiNate The shiny "piano black" plastic gets scratched, and it shows fingerprints and dust/dirt. It's got nothing to do with the vehicle's price, okay?
I love wagons....this one next level. I drive an E46 touring....I have owned for 10 years. Its 1 one my favorite cars...I would not complain if Santa were to park this under my tree... ...please take the bill up the chimney when you exit.🤔 Merry Christmas
Just got mine two weeks ago as an all in one car to haul the family around, your review is pretty much spot on. Two rear racing seats fit beautifully in the back seat as you hinted they might. Yes - it is a bit on pricey side but compared to pretty much every competitor this thing is a steal for all that you get (M8, E63, AMG GT63, etc). For me it combines a fun weekend car, and a daily super cruiser - and there is ultimately hardly any cars that do it better all-in-one then this one. Everything from kid drop offs, grocery hauls, road trips, to holding its own at every car show I take it to - there's nothing it can't do well. Thanks for the thorough review!
Good job on the video. I just took possession of my 2024 RS6 Performance, and It’s an awesome car. I’m keeping my RS7 and my better half has her RSQ8. Great cars!
Love mine. Some owner comments: Rear wheel steering is amazing. The turning circle is freaky for a car this size. Comfort and quietness for such a quick and powerful car makes this a genuine family all-rounder. Auto tailgate closes to easily for me - has started shutting on me way too often when leaning into the boot space! Seats are rubbish compared to my F90 M5 - limited adjustability, no massage, no bolster adjustment and only manual thigh supports. I simply cannot get the ideal balance of seat shape, position and steering wheel placement like I could in my old M5. Throttle is laggy, brakes and steering have little useful feel - feels fly-by-wire most of the time. Incredible cabin quality and overall refinement. Coupled with its speed, make this a great car overall.
You’ve got to be screen maxxing. You’ve got to have a screen for your instruments, your AC needs to be a screen, if you want music you need a screen for that too, you need a charging pad for more screen-phones. I’m so disappointed that the window buttons aren’t little touchscreens, how much longer do we have to wait until the windows themselves are screens too?
Audi's interpretation of the Chevy Trax :) Great car & review. Love Evie's and Kiddo's reaction to Evie's acceleration test! Kiddo has a need for speed!
I've wanted one of these ever since I found out that they existed. It has everything I would want if I could only have one car, without being yet another SUV. As a child of the 70's and 80's, I never would have thought that a station wagon would become my cool nonconformist vehicle of choice. 😎
I certainly can overlook the gloss black as long as it is an Audi RS model. I personally wouldn't acquire one w/ceramic brakes just because I wouldn't track it. It'd be my daily and I don't need to spend thousands on replacing those rotors
Enjoyable review as always! I love me some hot wagons and hatches. However, even for an R6 we are kinda getting into silly price category. I think at this price point I'd be at a Mercedes dealer, I just can't attach the value to an Audi.
Amazing the number of markets that exist simply within the "automotive market" this being one ("sport wagon") absolutely as with all the others (mini van, hatchback, sedan, sport sedan, luxury sedan, suv, 3 row SUV, ice platform, hybrid, diesel, battery powered, "holisitc" bev, etc) with everything driven going on forever now by center stack/electronics package all modern machines be built around now today as started by Tesla but now emulated as the Industry Standard. The one consistent loser in all of this has been Volkswagen but other than that everyone both new and old has followed the trend quite ably though at truly stupendous expense insodoing.
12:48 for the prices of these luxury cars they should be color matching the virtual cars to the actual color of your car. It’s literally free for them to do so, just a minuscule software update. Big miss on a car like this, they should do better.
I just finished watching James and Thomas drive a $300k super truck. I’d rather have two of these though. Woof!
💯

Micah and Evie are my favorite car reviewers on UA-cam. The only UA-cam channel that does a rear window test. As a Dog Dad, I appreciate that!
Fully agree 💯
That reaction from Evie was priceless.
It's not just the most beautiful wagon available today, it's one of the most beautiful vehicles of any type that is available today. This blue paint really adds to the look as well.

I wouldn't say the most, but it's cool.
If there's plastic in a 100k car then that's not a deal breaker
@@AdonaiNate The shiny "piano black" plastic gets scratched, and it shows fingerprints and dust/dirt. It's got nothing to do with the vehicle's price, okay?
@@AdonaiNate Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Which wagon, in your opinion, is the best looking?
This is my dream wagon! I love everything about it! I like the blue you guys tested!
I'm sure Evie just *loves* that the kiddo enjoys the needless full-throttle acceleration. :)
What an awesome car! Glad you guys get to experience it. :)
Evie’s full throttle shout/scream (Shcream? Scrout?) scared the crap out of me. But the laughter that followed was delightful!
Your reviews are some of the best if you really want to get an idea of what it’s like to own one of the cars you guys review. Keep up the good work!
I want one of these so bad...I wish we had more wagon options in the US they are so much cooler than small SUVs
That's a stunner. I thought the RS3 was a bit small, but this is just Goldilocks correct.
This is my dream car. 😍😍😍
Same! 😍😍😍😍
I love wagons....this one next level.
I drive an E46 touring....I have owned for 10 years.
Its 1 one my favorite cars...I would not complain if
Santa were to park this under my tree...

Merry Christmas
That was one of the best Evie/family launches for sure haha

Now that's a family car!
So I haven't even watched this yet but as soon as I saw the thumbnail I thought "I can't wait to see what happens when he tells Evie to floor it!"
Was my dream car, couldn't wait till it came to North America. Purchased it last year, no regrets!
Whoa. An actual RS 6 Avant owner. I know they don't sell in big numbers, so you're a rare breed. Awesome car you've got!
Good job on the video. I just took possession of my 2024 RS6 Performance, and It’s an awesome car. I’m keeping my RS7 and my better half has her RSQ8. Great cars!
Love the family vibe. Wish you guys all the best!
Thank you kindly. Cheers!!

I definitely lust after this vehicle. When I ever see one I’m jealous. Have a merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas guys!!!
I think high performance wagons are so cool. If I could afford it I’d love to have one of these.
Audi's interpretation of the Chevy Trax :) Great car & review. Love Evie's and Kiddo's reaction to Evie's acceleration test! Kiddo has a need for speed!
I feel like Evie likes that sporty feeling instead of those boring cars
This car is a masterpiece
Great car, great video and great family! A moment of silence for the Panamera Sport Turismo….. Only 2 left to duke it out.
Better than any truck or SUV ❤

„Found out that they existed“?!?
Do you live behind the moon?😂
@@scrappycoco3687 😜I mean found when I saw a couple of Canadians do a review years ago, not found out with this video. 🤣
I hope they sell the rs4 avant or the rs3 hatchback in the us
Micah - the armrest can be raised and locked in position if you prefer it higher.
This is one beautiful machine ❤😍🔥
I certainly can overlook the gloss black as long as it is an Audi RS model. I personally wouldn't acquire one w/ceramic brakes just because I wouldn't track it. It'd be my daily and I don't need to spend thousands on replacing those rotors

Who would have thought that Micah is the least charismatic person in his family?!
I'm not big on those silver accents, but I love a wagon that can haul some ***
Man, I love this car
Most people’s dream car is a Lamborghini or a Ferrari. Mine is a 600HP Audi station wagon!
Happy Holidays, guys!
My dream car...
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Is this similar to the Mazda CX50? It seems like it would feel similar
Yup yup yup... if I had the money, I'd quite enjoy driving this beauty around. So pricey though.
All that alcantara is going to be nasty AF in a few years, especially the gear shifter and the rear seat door cards.
Evie floored it and there’s the same delay in response as there is in an Outback XT 😂
It’s a turbo engine. And she should have brake boosted it. Or did launch control if it has it. That would have made it hit much harder at launch.
My dream car!!! One day!!!
An excellent dream car. Cheers!!
"Ahhh I don't like it!" will not be topped by this channel!!! Hilarious.
Your wife is adorable!!!!!
What do we think, this or the RS7?

This or BMW X5 M?
Ill stick with Volvo V60 for the price
God's People love.
Too many downsides for this vehicle for the $
I like him. But why is he always making these videos with his mum?😂
Hard to care about a $150k supa-VW, even if a wagon....
150 k 😂
