- To us the C7 Audi RS6 Avant is the bargain of the century! An estate car with over 600hp for half the price of the new model. Forgetting about the fuel consumption, is the C7 Audi RS6 still the fast estate car to buy?
What are your thoughts on the C7 Audi RS6, could you justify spending double on the new model, or would you consider the C7? We'd love to know in the comments.

Unpopular opinion but I prefer the looks of this over the new car.
Had my C7 from new- now done 180,000 miles and still goes like sheep off a shepherd. Usual Audi electrical gremlins but does the job. All of them. Very quickly.
Nothing better than a C7 RS6 PERFORMANCE. I am proud to say that I am an owner of one, and I absolutely love it to bits. Audi and made a practical car that goes like a rocket!!!
So a few points for anyone seriously interested, if it’s 70k cheaper it’s definitely 70% of the new car, so I let you conclude your man maths, but it’s a no brainer…personally I prefer this old interior, all the new gloss black interior when switched off looks terrible and 90% of all new cars are just putting more nanny state electronics in the way of any driving experience, in this C7 model, you can still just about switch every safety system off which I do. It definitely is the pocket knife of cars, it does everything exceptionally well. I thought about an SUV for a moment, until I realised only a handful of the biggest, have a little more load capacity, so there was no point unless you like driving position height on the road, which is almost a non event given every other vehicle is also an SUV on the road today. It’s better finished and more reliable than any RR SUV product. I have seen 100k mileage examples with almost zero wear on the inside…. As for transmission it’s a ZF, no dual clutch and is perfectly suited for this example…interesting how the reviewer thought he was peddling a dual clutch box. Also mpg can be low, but it can easily get 40mpg if you want it, I have done it with cruise on many times…but 22-26mpg is typical. I can’t /won’t sell mine because I can’t find anything better at any price. My differences to this example are dynamic suspension with no air suspension and it’s better and very smooth ride, plus cc brakes…which if managed properly are perfect 👍 with zero squeaking ever in 5 years of ownership since new. Only negative, it’s to fast for public roads and will cost you your license if you are not extremely careful… you are always travelling faster than you think you are. I luv it’s overtaking capability its outstanding.. it’s practicality is outstanding, it’s sleeper avant- looks, are a big plus… did I tell you I like it, okay yes I like it a huge amount… on a damp road nothing will see which way you went, Ferrari included.
I own a c7 from new and I agree with your comments - I cannot justify throwing my car in part exchange plus another 70 odd grand to get a c8 which I dont think will be much quicker. Also I have to mention the fuel consumption is not as bad as you allude to - I run mine daily (combination of town and motorway and I easily average over 23 mpg and if its just a pure motorway run ive had over 33 mpg (admittedly running through France) but even going from leeds to nottingham and back i will average over 28 mpg. Yes if your hooning around mid teens is easily achievable but if you own one (as opposed to borrowing one and testing it where the novelty factor affects your right foot more than it would as a daily driver) then you will happily average mid 20's.
I personally don't mind the aging interior. I actually really like it. Yeah it would be nice if it had the full screen gauge cluster that the RS3 8V or RS4 in the later versions had, but I prefer the physical buttons in the RS6 C7 over the all-screen inputs of the A6 C8 (or RS6 C8 for that matter). I mean, for example setting your climate controls or heated seats using the touch screen, without any tactile feedback is outright dangerous while driving because you have to take your look off the road to find the correct areas to touch.
No other car is better, best car on the planet in my opinion, and it's my dream car too. I am in the market for one and will let you know as soon as I purchase it.
Great video. I have run a C7 from 2013 to 2022 (now got rid of). Fuel consumption is a nightmare. 5 sets of new brakes and discs at 3K a time. 5 sets of tyres at £1300 a time. There is no point trying to save pennys with this car, or you are mad. It demands the best of everything, or else!
I bough RS6 C7 in July 2021.
Fuel consumption isn't the reason to buy it, I have a 2015 which I paid £40k for, best car I've ever owned and never selling it. It just does everything so well, mine has the factory sports exhaust with central resonator delete which opens up the sound without being too obnoxious..! Otherwise stock, no need for remap etc. Perfect family car, I'm sure they will appreciate in value too given how naff the new one is. "Nouveau riche house" comment hit the nail on the head!
I am a proud owner of the weaker 560 hp version and loved driving ist the past 4 years. One remark: it cones with a 8 speed torque converter gear box. The S6 has the 7 speed double clutch.
Have owned a C7 RS6 for 3 years and in my opinion there's nothing better. Great video.
I've had mine 3 years, longest I've ever owned a car, still adore it
Love this. Totally agree. Such a weapon and real bargain.
just sold my C7.5 RS6! best car ive own. I will buy another in the new year.
Totally agree.
Owned BMW M's in the past, great cars with nice driving dynamics - esp the S85 V10, preferred the newer M5 in F10 guise. But the 2016 PE RS6 I bought although is lacking in some of the feedback through the wheel - it more than makes up for it in many other areas.:-
Good review 👍
I loooove this car its just perfect
I'm considering getting one this year for the better fuel consumption actually 😆 and the super great looks. Its one of my dream cars. But it's also hard to let go of my Audi S6 5.2 V10, because, come on, V10! Thats never coming back..
