Audi S6 vs M5 in Pros and Cons!! To kill topic for good
Well again
Don't get me wrong I am an Audi fan But again let's put it that way because I see a lot of people cross shopping S6 and M5 and I was one of them and here is my 2 cents - S6 Cons 1. Relatively thin steering wheel 2. Very anti-sports uninspiring Shifter 3. Rear end is really missing something 4. Light color headliner ! Gray! Really turned me away 5. That screen pop up is out of place.. and annoying.. would be better if placed like in new 3 series or 6 series but this way is out of place!! Very not ergonomic a d not with he harmony 6. Rear diffuser is not nice looking 7. Console vulnerability to fluid coffee spills ( I paid for it once 820$!!) 8. Seating Position was ok but too high and couldn't get where I am really happily satisfied like in M5 it took a second - 9. Less exhauste growl but that's just S6 and I heard RS6 and RS5 as well as RS7 are better than M5 10. It is definitely not pulling endlessly with no end like M5 11. Small sunroof 12. Tiny arm rest!! 13. No power trunk opening!! 14. No soft close doors! When u r used to them you miss them!! 15. Rear wheels were too SLIM/THIN for my taste !! 255 or so !! 16 The fact that I will be dealing with Audi Of Charlotte for service which is a very bad customer experience (I had Audi before) 17. No Free Service till 50k miles!! 18. Want RS6 not available in USA!! And if so only station wagon!! R u serious? Like AMG E63 only station wagon!!!!!!!!! CRAZY !!! 19. B&O almost double price in BMW!! 20. HUD much inferior to BMW !! Especially M modes !! 21. Wheels look just ok but nothing like 343 and 601 and not forged if I am not mistaken!! 22. Quarter mile traps are usually sub 120 mph 23. Less color options! Like I have Sakhir Orange M5 - whike S6 bold colors are not many except for the red that I do like but that's it!! NEED MORE??!! Pros 1. Cheaper but Not M5 status for sure 2. MPG is a bonus and it is not because it has less power because RS7 has better gas mileage too 3. HIGHER cabin tech for sure 4. CHEAPER TUNE options 5. AWD it is a pro for sure unless you are a track person and I am not 6. Better spare I believe 7. No competition package option So obviously more cons than pros for Audi S6 and RS6

The interior of S6 is crap. The tech is not good. Nothing about it is special. Nothing is "great", it doesn't do anything very well.
It's just a nice looking decent sports car. Here's one list of cars: S63 AMG, Panamera GTS, BMW M5. S6 does not fit in with the above.

Why post a thread about a question no serious person would ask?

Exactly... I think the OP loves the sound of his own keyboard LOL He reminds me of the banned member FTC120 who asked a multitude of rhetorical questions, got ridiculed for it, answered back unprofessionally and was wiped from the data base including all prior posts. Im not saying thats the case here as the OP has some good stuff but come on with this stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In any case I didn't mean to annoy You Guys WITH My comparo BUT I Really didn't feel that C&D review was fair to our beloved M5 or even E63 and when I went out o test drive the GREAT S6 better than all I found it to be good but nothing close and those were my observations and most of them are really objective. And I didn't know topic was killed before because I am kinda new here myself... I feel a bit unwelcome by some members. . All I have to say. . Thank you for your hospitality - Last edited by soooma; 01-17-2014 at 11:56 AM.. |

I'm sure we've all posted things that get a perceived negative reaction, written words are open to misinterpretation due to the lack of emotion - don't take anything anyone says here too seriously - you'll notice that we all give each other the odd ribbing. Just part of the camaraderie IMO. |

No pride to be swallowed here - many of us are crazy petrol heads, who in all honesty probably spend too much time thinking about cars - the odd joke here and there keeps us from going completely insane. I'm sure I'll have a interesting conversation at the pearly gates when I get asked what good I've done with my life |

S6 would be my choice on top of 550xi and E550 4matic, but not in consideration when I am shopping in the class of M5, E63, RS6/7.
