View Full Version : RS6 reviewed in 1/4/04 Washington post. Jim Clark 01-04-2004, 11:47 AM Reviewer LOVED the car, especially the power. He blasted them on the price and thought the BMW M5 and MB E55AMG would sell better because they're less expensive and have more prestige attached to their brand names. Jim rockridge 01-04-2004, 01:26 PM Kind of a luke-warm review to me. I get the impression he would have loved it if there was a BMW or MB badge on the car.<ul><li><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A49978-2004Jan2.html">Link to review</a></li></ul> Potomac2.7Tee 01-04-2004, 04:55 PM Potomac2.7Tee 01-04-2004, 04:56 PM How can I take him serious when he writes that? I couldn't get 20mpg in my 4.2 if it were being pulled by mules at 0.5mph... 2046 01-04-2004, 08:03 PM Jim Clark 01-05-2004, 06:46 AM jatwrite 01-05-2004, 08:42 PM This was my actual RS6 mpg in late summer, measured and calculated at every fill-up, NOT taken from the car computer (which is about 1 mpg too optimistic -- same as my S4). Most driving at 69-79 mph, some lower in construction areas. Car was loaded with 2 adults, small dog & luggage (full trunk) for Detroit-California round trip. |
