Audi RS6 Avant Review

Reliability and Quality4 out of 5

Audi's perceived quality is one of the best in the car industry and the RS6, one of the brand's flagship cars, should maintain that reputation.

Everything about the car feels expensive and well screwed together, with only the best materials used (carbon fibre, Nappa leather, Alcantara and aluminium).

The test cars we drove all had consistent panel gaps and excellent fit and finish, and there's no reason to think that production models will be any different.
