The Perfect DD Sleeper???

i was thinking about picking up another car that i can putz around in w/out losing the "fun" factor of turbocharged AWD enjoyment, but it needed to be kinda boring to blend in & qualify as sleeper status by have enough luxury amenities to be a true DD. then i ran across this:

2003 Audi RS6-0-60 in 4.6sec., 4.2L TTV8, 450hp/419tq, 8piston Brembos up front

Audi's are not garbage you just need to take some what care of it, if you do decide to get an RS6 you won't regret it

A bunch of guys in the DC Evo club have "S" and "RS" audis as well. One has a new RS4, which is completely bad-***. I'd be a bit wary of it used, and make sure all the maintenance records are complete. You know a car like that has been "driven"...

awesome choice. Audi's, like any german car, will need alot of attention. meaning you will be shelling out for service which is expensive for euro cars. driving experiance, comfort, prestige and low key killing abillity will be second to very few.

No trying to be rude, but I doubt anyone really cares what your opinion is. Can you site anything to back up your opinion? They are very well rated by people like JD Powers that actually spend thousands of hours testing and comparing cars.
