I considered an S6 when I decided to replace my '05 A8. Kids are grown and gone now so we really don't need the huge backseat. But after comparing interiors I knew I would never be happy with the S6. Not that the S6 interior is terrible. Quit the opposite. It's very good. Just not A8 good.

...I'm reasonably comfortable working on my own car. I've had a few modified B5/B6 A4's and upgraded my old C5 A6 with AWE's RSK04 kit. Looking for something reasonably fast with AWD and a usable back seat....I'd be curious to hear from folks about how good/bad these are with maintenance. It's been a while since I logged in here. I've been doing the pony car thing for a few years. 
Best,
Best,
The other funny thing is that most Audis are now among the fastest in their respective classes, WITHOUT aftermarket tuning...
Go drive one and see what you think - it's a great car - a rocket-propelled executive lounge...!

I'm on Audi #7 and I don't think I'll ever own anything else car wise but an Audi with the exception to Porsche or Ferrari which are only weekenders or car show cars.
I am alive because the A7 I had saved my life in an accident.
My DD is an S6 and I have a TDI and will buy another once they start selling them again.

A funny thing happened while you were away (in the past decade or so): Audis don't break much anymore, so maintenance issues are mostly a thing of the past...

It's a deal-breaker for me because of golf clubs, skis and the occasional toting of a big flat screen TV or something similar. Just the other day, I brought a 55" LCD TV home in the S6, meaning that I DIDN'T have to go home to grab the wife's Q5...

An Audi rep told me that it's because they mounted a bunch of the car's computers in a sort of vertical-flat-pack up against the rear bulkhead, in what he called a packaging blunder of the first order. It both limits the trunk space AND makes a folding seat impossible.

I'll be replacing my 2015 Mustang GT so I'm assuming that the trunk is STILL bigger than what I have now.
