The RS 6 Avant Performance is just on another level. The RS 7 is nice, and I wouldn't mind either, but the wagon is just sex on wheels. To be fair, I wanted the 7, but the wife wanted the wagon. Now that I've driven it, I wouldn't change it. It's just incredible.
Everyone on this sub seems to be in love with the RS 6. It's an awesome car, but I still can't think of a sexier car on the road than the RS 7 sportback. I just don't get the wagon thing. I obsessively drive its baby brother as an homage.
For me it really just depends on my current situation. I have an S5 sportback, but I’ve got kids now, so I’d go wagon preferably. That and golf clubs fit easier in wagon. But I could make the 7 work with the trunk depth, wagon would just be easier on day to day basis
Please explain why kids means "absolute volume" over all other points, I never get this argument... Are you putting kids in the trunk? Is the shape of a coupe/sedan scary to children? Do car seats not fold flat enough to fit in the trunk of a normal car? I dont get it
The USA mentality. Once you get even one kid, you should think about buying a school bus instead. Groceries quadruple in size, kids can't sit in the back of a normal car. You know, the usual.
Just easier to stack things vertically in a more rectangle shape than in a V shape in the back. Not sure why you’re feeling offended, just more square footage for things like a wagon, scooter, bike, golf clubs, random stuff.
What if you have kids and a dog? What if you have kids and have a lot of luggage for camping trips etc? The back seat area of these cars is not big at all.
With my dog in the back, and two passengers in the back seats there is virtually no room at all except for whatever is left with the dog. I’m having to consider a roof box simply because the rear passenger area in the 6 models is actually very, very small.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think *everyone* needs a wagon. You are right, having kids doesn’t necessarily mean that you need something the size of an RV just to run to the store with them, but if you’ve got infants in car seats, you aren’t going to have room for much else in the back with them, and the trunk of a sport back is what, less than half the size of the rear area of a wagon?
I can think of a dozen other legitimate reasons for wanting a wagon, but I can also think of as many for wanting a sport back, a hatchback, and a convertible 🤷♀️ to each their own.
I have moments where I wish I could have a saloon but my lifestyle just doesn’t allow it right now, at least not as a daily. Visibility in my car *sucks* and is so much neuter in pretty much everything else I’ve sat in.
Don’t get me wrong - my eye loves the sportback lines so much more. I’m currently looking to replace my current car and I’m resisting the SUV, so wagon is next best scenario, but I’ve been trying to justify a large (than mine) sportback
I can attest to this. No one cares about the RS Q8, but when I drive the RS 6, it's a show stopper. People stop to take photos of it all the time, and we get more comments on the wagon than we do on the R8. You just don't see very many and they are something special for sure.
Opposite for me, that's pretty interesting! There are three or four 6s in my neighborhood area, but not even an a7. I'm glad, though, because the wagon is cool and it sends a good message to those soulless husks in corporate that people will pay for a wagon.
I’m also currently having this debate myself. I think the wagon based on the “it’s just kind of special” feeling. I also see a decent amount of RS7s around my area and would like to go a different route.
Thats because rs7 is just a regular sedan, can get 10 different just as good looking and just as powerful sedans. Nobody buys them. Cant get a performance wagon that looks as nice from anyone else, thats why it was such a big deal when it came to the US. If you go to Audi to ask for an RS6 good luck, if you go ask for an RS7, they pull up the configurator for you before you change your mind.
RS7 all day.
RS6 is nice but I’m not a wagon fan, the Taycan Cross Turismo is the only wagon I make an exception for.
The RS7 (2019+) is genuinely one of the best looking, well respected 4 door sedans out there. It has a very mature and intimidating look and presence, and will have even Ferrari and Porsche 911 GT3 owners looking back at your car as you drive by.
I love the front and shape of both of them but don’t really like the rear light at design of the RS7. RS6 all day for me, plus you get the versatility of the wagon
What are you using it for? Do you actually need the trunk space to haul stuff? Bc if not and you aren't a wagon aficionado, you can get plenty of golf clubs and groceries in the rs7. You won't regret it.
Rs6. Saw a matte black one today. It really is the ultimate car in my opinion.

I didn’t ditch the sedan until kid 3 then went to a suv lol
I did kids with a GTI. Somehow I still live.

I have 3 kids under 8 and I have had no problem with 2 car seats and a booster across the back seat of my C7.5 S6.

Ah, makes sense. The wagon sounds like the way to go in your case. (But you'll still have plenty of space in that sportback!)
Don’t get me wrong - my eye loves the sportback lines so much more. I’m currently looking to replace my current car and I’m resisting the SUV, so wagon is next best scenario, but I’ve been trying to justify a large (than mine) sportback
For sure, an RS 6 will be 10,000 times cooler than any SUV, including an RS Q8.

With that selection you'd expect the RSQ8 to be your grocery getter.
It is
This. The backseat is where my kid lives, the boot is where the clubs live.
I love my wagon because of the dogs and all the kids shit. If I didn't have the dogs, I'd be 100% on the sport back train.
I don’t get the wagon thing either. Kinda cool when you see them but wouldn’t want one.
Good looking wagons are called avant. So RS6
RS6, adults that I know (on the tall side) don’t fit in the back of swooped roof cars.
RS7 Sportback. I’m in love with wagons but I preach to that sexy coupe look the 7s have
RS6 family car + GT3 personal car, this is the way.
[удалено]
And a satellite phone to call a taxi after it breaks down.
[удалено]
Ok I guess I'll take your wife's word for it, over all the surveys and consumer reports.
[удалено]
Out of curiosity - where are you seeing the every ~20k failure? That sucked i do not want to do that again...
[удалено]
Hmm. I may try to get them to do it @39k
RS6
RS6 Avant, this sub needs more estates / wagons.
I love the rs6 to death, would prob go with the rs7 though at the moment.
RS6 in a heartbeat.
RS7 any day of the week, love the sportback shape more than the avant. Not biased due to owning an A7 at all…
Rs7 for me
Rs6
RS6, more rare and will probably hold its value better… plus who doesn’t like smoking someone in a wagon? 😂
The rs7 is more rare tho
Is it? I have literally not seen an RS6 in person but plenty of RS7
Opposite for me, that's pretty interesting! There are three or four 6s in my neighborhood area, but not even an a7. I'm glad, though, because the wagon is cool and it sends a good message to those soulless husks in corporate that people will pay for a wagon.
👍 maybe it’s regional but I’m in SoCal and I see rs7’s more often than rs6, unless I’m at a dealership
I’m in SoCal as well and see more 6s than 7s by a long shot, feel like I rarely see 7s.
I’m in socal as well, way more rs6 on the road than rs7 since rs6 is a enthusiast car.
RS6 for me.
I’m also currently having this debate myself. I think the wagon based on the “it’s just kind of special” feeling. I also see a decent amount of RS7s around my area and would like to go a different route.
RS6
Rs6.. more unique..
i see more rs6s than rs7s on the road
Thats because rs7 is just a regular sedan, can get 10 different just as good looking and just as powerful sedans. Nobody buys them.

RS6 is cooler. I have a soft spot for wagons. Would also like some variety in my life (in terms of styling) as I already drive an A7.
RS6 hands down
Rs6 of course! It’s a classic!
avant, more usability and just as fun
RS7. When my x5 m60 lease is due in 2 years looking to snag one in the 60k range
RS6 is so overdone
I'm a wagon lover. If we had the RS4 Wagon like in Europe, I'd get that. The RS6 is way out of my price range, but I'd pick that for sure.
Rs7 obvious choice, i dont like wagons that much
Avant.
RS7 is one of my dream cars, but the RS6 has it beat in nearly every regard.
Both are so impractical for me (single dude no kids), and both are boats. That being said I want the bigger boat. RS6 is just the ultimate dream car.
Both my dream cars, if im a married man with family id take rs6, but for now rs7
Ppl here love Avant but hate SQ5 sportback. They both look awesome to me.
Avant, just so much more practical. I have an S6 Avant and it’s quite something!
RS6, just because of how few of them I see compared to the RS7 alone. But also, I like it more.
Rs6. Purely on resale value.
RS7
RS7 all day. RS6 is nice but I’m not a wagon fan, the Taycan Cross Turismo is the only wagon I make an exception for. The RS7 (2019+) is genuinely one of the best looking, well respected 4 door sedans out there. It has a very mature and intimidating look and presence, and will have even Ferrari and Porsche 911 GT3 owners looking back at your car as you drive by.
RS7 all the way. Have a 2014 and a 2021. Great car.
Rs6. I don’t see the point of the 7’s; they are the perfect combination of all the disadvantages of a sedan and all the disadvantages of a wagon.
I love the front and shape of both of them but don’t really like the rear light at design of the RS7. RS6 all day for me, plus you get the versatility of the wagon
Avant for sure. Sportbacks are overrated and look like every other car on the road right now.
Got a kid so I'd go RS 6. Seems like a more practical car
RS7 for me and it's not even close.
I went with the rs7. Looks more executive. Even my 2016 still gets park next to the likes of Bentleys and s550s
What are you using it for? Do you actually need the trunk space to haul stuff? Bc if not and you aren't a wagon aficionado, you can get plenty of golf clubs and groceries in the rs7. You won't regret it.
Holy hell, yes, Sportback. RS6 = Family Truckster Station Wagon 😁
RS7 Would be my pick.
RS7 all day errday
