As a potential repeat Audi customer, I was invited to an "Experience" day run by my local Audi dealer which included trying out an S4, A3 3.2 quattro DSG and the RS6! The first two were excellent and I was particularly surprised by the ease-of-use of the DSG gearbox - not at all what I had anticipated - I actually enjoyed playing with the up and down paddle changes. When I tried the RS6, also with the DSG gearbox, I just had to leave it in "auto sport mode", forget about the DSG paddle change and concentrate on the warp speed blur around you - the RS6 is so damned fast that you don't have ****** time to play with up and down paddle changes - ! (at least not in the half hour that I had to spend in it) You don't even notice it's in auto-mode strangely, such is the impressiveness of the beast! It was absolutely awesome and left me with the biggest grin I've had on my face for years! Trust me you don't need an old fashioned manual change on this car - or even the DSG-mode for that matter unless you're a track driver!To put things in perspective, I was accompanied by an Audi representative of course, who turned out to be an ex-police pursuit driving instructor - who descibed it as: "the best car I've ever experinced and I wish I'd had one when on active duty - if I could afford it, I'd have one myself" - nuff said?
