2024 Audi RS 6 Performance First Drive Review: A Perfect Car?

The swagger of a supercar and the practical proportions of a wagon - that, in a nutshell, is the appeal of the 2024 Audi RS 6 Performance.
Of course, there’s more to it than that. Much more. It’s in the very minutiae that makes up this range-topping version of an already outrageous wagon. In an incredibly small but simply spectacular segment, this Audi is out to claim the crown as king of them all.
AutoTrader.ca Road Test Editor Dan Ilika gives his first impressions of Audi's top-of-the-line wagon. Whether it's performance or practicality, this one's got the goods.

No sunroof?

[@noybeeswax]

Who are you talking to when you say all these things about ownership 😂. $155K Canadian. We honestly don’t give AF about the suit and tie that will be talked in to buying this and not know what he genuinely has. 🤦‍♂️ Blowing off steam after work haha!

Dan, Why do the automakers cater to the tastes of wealthy wagon buyers but ignore those at a median income level? 🤨Unsurprisingly, I am going to use this RS6 review as an opportunity to drag the Corolla Touring Sports wagon back into the conversation 😉😂

[@danilika9420]

Hahaha! I’m with you! Unfortunately, I think it’s largely driven by buyer tastes. The ridiculousness of the RS 6 is its appeal, while the practicality of a mainstream model just doesn’t draw people in.

Lack of demand I would imagine

[@rightlanehog3151]

@@csletica There is plenty of demand for affordable wagons in CANADA. With the exception of the Outback, there is no supply.

Great car! It's just too freaking expensive plus the dealers (at least the US) take advantage of the popularity of the car by charging a ridiculous premium amount of top. Gorgeous car though.
