E63s for me. Love both though.
RS6 for me as is strikes a perfect balance between comfort and performance not to mention those killer looks!
The RS6 wins by looks alone. The E63 can’t really hide that hearse looks
How the fk does it look like a hearse you blind fktrd? E63 runs circles around the rs6 in every way. E63 looks better both inside and out. E63 sounds better and is far more fun to drive not to mention performs way better
@@navminhas412 not only can it compete but it destroys the audi in comfort with the comfort seats and magic body control active suspension all whole also being more sporty and fun to drive which is the point of a sporty estate
Epic. Well done guys.
Thanks :)
Big fan of both these gents. Great review!
Thanks Dane!
Great review guys.
Thanks!
Very nice video, very well done
Thanks!
I'd take the E63s but the sedan 🙏🏽
I can tell you for a fact the sense of excitement doesn't wear off on the E63S. In fact I made mine 740bhp for even more excitement.
I'm taking the RS6 on looks alone whatever it lacks in performance I can make up in driving ability in the streets if necessary.
I agree both are of these are stupid fast the tie breaker has to be Audi it just looks sinister
No it can't. It's no where near as fun to drive or as great sounding etc
@@eventusvantos1905 The looks of the RS6 are more fun by far and its more than enough fun for the streets.
@@jonesjonz1 Not at all
It's laughably worse and less fun to drive
@@eventusvantos1905 I doubt it. Also nothing a simple tune can take care of.
My wife was in the market for a new car and she so loved her '01 Allroad that she wanted another Audi Avant. Audi was not selling them in the US (except for the too small, A4 based Allroad). She couldn't find anything she liked until she came across the E63s... Finding a dealer with an allotment to get one was the first challenge, then we had to wait for the next model year, '20, as they were done making the '19's. We love this luxury car... and it's an absolute thug when you want it to be. Even as long time Audi fans, we're glad we got the Merc.
Nice impartial discussion.
For me the hideous 22” wheels sort of kills it for the Audi. But that’s a simple fix.
Audi is beautiful sure, but all those glass surface would make me go wild with microfibre towels on each of those glossy surfaces
Merc, the prefacelift car looks better in my eyes and it's cheaper so that wins for me
I'll take the Merc because for some reason they never talk to me in the local Audi dealership.
Lol I used to get this everytime at Chandlers Ford Audi. Too smooth to move. Got a BMW instead.
What do you mean ?
I have an E63 S wagon and love it but the maintenance is outrageous
I think rs6 color is massive and the wheels and sound
Has to be the AMG. It’s subtle, it doesn’t shout about it’s capability, just delivers when you want it too. The Audi is too “glitter ball” and toy car looking. It’s “shouty” and might as well have a neon sign saying “Grrrrrr” just to add to the attention seeking looks. It’s a 21st century cartoon car from a remake of Whacky Races.
Understated, charismatic and characterful is the way to go these days and for that reason (and I’m biased as a Mercedes owner), the AMG E63S is the better performance estate car.
A properly comprehensive review, well argued, and it was the result of 10 hours of driving, yet video-wise it seemed like it was only 2 corners. A bit more variety, please.
Understood. Noted for next time.
AMG has MCT gearbox not DCT
No it isn’t because the clutches aren’t sandwiched together like they were in the old 7-speed trans coupled with the M157 engine in the old E63. Although it is a similar configuration in the new 9 speed the power is dissipated through the transmission in a ‘dual clutch manner’ unlike the wet clutch system in the old MCT. That is why this is referred to as a dual clutch trans even though it is more similar to the old mct than for example; the 6speed dual clutch trans you would find in a Porsche 911. It’s also likely to do with the stick surrounding the old 7speed Mct as it was not a very good multi role transmission being known as the Achilles heel or chink in the armour of the w212.5 E63. The m157 was a massively underrated engine and was let down massively by the Mct. So don’t confuse the two 😅
The 7 speed mct was designed for the m156 which due to its normal aspiration, has different power characteristics to the more powerful and torquey m157. This explains why the mct struggles in the w212.5 e63. However Amg’s decision makes sense as it would of been way too expensive and nonsensical to design a completely new transmission for the m157 when they knew it would be discontinued in less than 5 years. I believe the only reason amg changed the engine in the face lift was to bring the w212 E63 fuel efficiency and power output on par with the recently released f10 m5.
The only reason I can think, as to why Mercedes used the m157 in the new s63 at the time, instead of the m176 4.0 tt from the amg gt is that they wanted the power and torque of the proved m157 for the heavy s class until the release of the m178 in 2017 which officially rendered the m157 completely obsolete in every way. It was also probably down to the fact that the 6 speed dual clutch mated to the m176 wouldn’t of been suitable in an over 2 tonne a class as it was designed for the lighter amg gt and c class models.
Great review .. apart from the fact you're both wrong 😀 .. RS6 all day .. and the next.
The E63 does NOT have a dual clutch transmission...
Definitely the Merc, defjnitely not in gopping dark red. Alpina five touring would also be a consideration.
RS6 for the win
I..really like this E63s...but I have to admit ill take that RS6 home...💪🔥💯
Audi RS6 for me everyday😍💪🏻
As I will never be in a position to ever own one, the audi RS6 is the one that turns my head more.
RS6 in a heart beat that Merc on the other hand looks so old and tired
Calling audi old and bland is an understatement. Merc looks far better both inside and out. And spanks the audi around the track and in the straights all while also being more fun to drive
@@eventusvantos1905based!
Nah
@@eventusvantos1905yes bro facts
I come here for the Imperial units.
it makes sense to use human organs for measuring :))))
@@63Jax The metric people are sick animals, monsters. It’s still not too late for us to act.
There is a 3rd..... Porsche panamera Sport tourismo?
Just doesn't have the boot space sadly, which is why people go for estates! Whilst the Porsche is lovely, I went for an E63s because 2 retrievers and needed the space.
Conclusion: Audi, please go ahead and release the RS6 Performance! 650bhp, sharper steering, carbon ceramics standard. I will pay you the $30k premium. A lot of other people will too.
BMW m4 cs vs amg c63s coupe
No comparison the drivers car wins! AMG all the way!
RS6 kicks 'S' butt on visual drama bodywork.
Noup .....alpina b5 touring is the best daily 👍👍
sprint
The AMG is old school and the Audi is for kids.
Looks-wise the Audi is just far superior. The Merc's looks and design are just underwhelming. Lucky they have that power plant. And for all his waffle about Merc's all wheel drive system, Audi's legendary Quattro system is still the one all the others try to copy.
Far superior??? Pfff everything from the triangular air intakes to the messy rear end with that awful plastic exhaust surround/diffuser in addition to the cartoony hugeness of the car on the road. The designers were obviously high af and designed the car with a ott fan made sketch instead of the original designs
Audi obviously forgot that they were designing an estate, and designed the next hot wheels car. The only thing that makes the c8 acceptable on public roads is to have it in a very dark colour to somewhat hide its ugliness.
Great review, well done to you both👏🏻👏🏻🍻. The Merc looks like an awkward turtle with its front end which seems out of proportion from the A pillar back. The Merc’s wheels look like they belong on a shopping trolly😂. The Audi looks like a complete package with sensational looks all round. 🤔I think the Audi wins the comparison in looks🤭🤫😂 and also inside with the interior, comfort and for the family and pets. Cheers!🍻
Na. The Audi looks overly, in fact I'd say ridiculously aggressive. To the point that it's beginning to look stupid. The outgoing model had it just about right.
Reminds me of when I was younger and people would go to Demon Tweaks or Carnoisseur and buy the biggest wheels they could find to stick on their car.
The Merc certainly looks odd but theAudi is getting accolades more for its silly looks than its driving and that's the reason that it usually loses these tests. They've moved on from the Hp wars to the aggressive bodykit wars.
A shame as Audi used to be the best of the bunch in the field of just enough muscle to look right.
You're blind af. If merc looks like an awkward turtle then audi looks worse than an awkward turtle 💀
E63 blows rs6 out of the water in every possible way. Way better looking both inside and in. Way more better performance both handling and acceleration. Way better sounding. Way more fun to drive. I could go on and on
@@eventusvantos1905 well wagon is supposedly to be a family friendly car, if you seek for pleasure and driving experience why bother buying a wagon
@@usercs_2682 because it's the best of both worlds
It has the practicality of a family car with the performance of a sports car or better in some aspects
The looks of the RS6 alone kills the merc! Most people don’t like wagons to begin with so why make it uncomfortable and unattractive? There’s nothing like an RS6!!!
That E63 S is sexy🔥 thatd be my pick anyday
Audi Audi all the way!!
Shame both cars have got the gearbox paddles placed in the wrong wrong wrong place: their steering wheel 😖
The E63 just looks way too timid and mundane. RS 6 all the way!🤓
😀👍✋🙋♂️
How is the Audi a better Estate car.?. The Mercedes is THE Estate.
Mercedes benz 4matic+ better audi quattro it not good and Mercedes benz e 63 s amg have 636hp and 936nm
I think the RS6 looks better.
E63 design is miles off.
very underwhelming
Disagree. The Benz is better in every way and more well rounded its more luxurious and the sound is way better, more fun.
AMG forever.....audi rs sucks
Merc looks bland!
You're blind af
@@eventusvantos1905 Nope. Just stating a Fact. Looks like the sort of car an old bloke with an inflated opinion of himself would drive. Thinks he’s cool. He’s not. Meanwhile … Everyone is laughing at him.
@@davidthomas1532 The fact is you're blind.
Says the one that's blind. Looks like you're or only blind but jealous too 🤣💀
@@eventusvantos1905 Nice comeback. You’re very funny.
Not bland. Just quietly aggressive. Rather than...RAHHHH LOOK AT ME!!
