S6 review from downunder
#3
I do!!! This is more of a impression review than a real test. This particular
article has been around since June 01 and all they did is to quote the factory figures which have been proven over and over to be pesimistic.
Top Gear UK 0-60 mph 6.2 sec S6 Avant
Car & Driver 0-60 mph 6.2 sec (???) S6 Avant
Track Challenge Germany 0-100 km/h 6.4 sec S6 Sedan
Car Magazine S. Africa 0-100 km/h 6.4 sec S6 Sedan
AutoSpeed says <i>"The best car that we have ever driven"</i> Wonder what other cars they have driven? Amongst the best? maybe. To claim it is the best... Hmmmm

Hmmm... I drive a 2001 4.2, and the S6 was a distinct step up....
Perhaps you drove under poor conditions: at altitude, or a car that wasn't broken in, or perhaps you forgot to try the sport mode on the tiptronics.
I found suspension, steering, power, handling, all improved (though not enough to talk someone out of their budget... the 4.2 is more than plenty good in these areas).
