drive one, you'll know exactly what I mean... doesn't really deserve an RS badge."

It looks nose heavy with the over done grill, really unfortunate that a 6 speed tranny is excluded. The back seat area is as skimpy as a 911.
I was hoping to be impressed...sadly disappointed.

 

Rs5 for sport and performance

 

Not to mention pure looks and exclusivity...

 

I would take the S6 if I were you. The RS5 seats will not be great, how good can it ever been when you have to squeeze past a chair! So if that is even a slight consideration, given the rest of your cars, an S6 makes all the sense.

He is right about the RS5... it does not feel powerful. I went and tested it when it was first launched - 2011 i think?? And I was very underwhelmed. Not impressive - especially stepping out from a 911TT into it.

I find the real test for cars is when you sit at 100mph and floor it - what happens? In the RS5 not a lot.

It is quick, and as someone pointed out it does have ~450bhp... however, there is a big difference between 'quick' and powerful. And this RS5 really lacks the torque regardless of max bhp.

 

RS6 but in all seriousness...2nd hand GTR for 10k less.

 

its not about where you fit - but if you have any use for a back seat - get the RS6 over the 5

 

Kids are fine (what I have), adults not good for sure other than a quick trip to the corner market.

 

The RS6 does not come here to the U.S., at least not yet anyway...

 

S6 is far better, RS5 is not worth the $ ..
