Sorry it's an Audi, but it's an estate, with twin turbo V8. 0-60 in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 176 MPH. Kitted out with one or two extra's.

Get a personalised plate to go with it, they look good, you'll look cool.
RS6s are fast on paper but not really built for driving fast. They understeer like a Tescos trolley and I've seen one completely destroy the front disks in five not particularly spirited laps of Yas Marina. You can dial out the understeer on Forza 7 by converting it to RWD but I'm not sure about real life.
tbf most of my driving is around leafy lanes in southwest Surrey, rather than F1 tracks in Abu Dhabi, so it'll do for me

Surprised about the brakes. But perhaps not. This bloke got only three laps before smoke was pouring from them.Audi RS6 Avant (2015) long-term test review
You can go for the ceramic brakes option for about nine grand more...
Please don't. Apart from being the sign of a total wanker it makes your car look really shit.That's next year's car, but to be a total wanker I'm looking for the matt paint:
Did you read the article? It was the optional carbon/ceramics that went up in smoke after three laps. I don't hate the RS6 but you're paying a 20 grand premium over the S6 for another 100-150bhp which is inaccessible on both road and track due to the limitations of the platform. Having said that I've got a TR7 with no engine so I'm not exactly one to talk when it comes to rational car purchases.
Dude, you've bought an R32 sight unseen. You have gambling instincts.
A fast estate is the better option.Who wants the bother of a fastish estate? A fastish estate is something I'd hate.

I can answer that. I do! I want to be a motorist.Frank Sinatra reference. My sense of humour gets a bit weird after one and a half joints. Who wants to be a motorist?
don't bother getting an Avensis.
its fine. its good, its solid, its practical, but its just a bit meh... i've had it a month and i'm just not feeling it. my last Mondeo - in fact all of my Mondeo's - have been solid and practical, but not meh...
i'm having it valetted tomorrow and i'm getting rid. haven't decided on what will come next - i'm thinking about the Octavia or Superb, Mazda 6 or going wild and getting a Merc E-Class - and then spending the next 3 years thinking 'its nice, but its a lot of money...'.
Thanks. When I finally can afford to replace my E46 it was on the list along with a Mondeo. It no longer is.
