Engines and Driving Experience

It may have been a controversial move, fitting a bona-fide performance car with a diesel engine, but that is exactly what Audi did with the Audi S6.

With the range-topping RS6 Avant featuring a 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine, Audi could afford to offer up the S6 in a different package.

It makes sense with a torquey 3.0-litre diesel producing 349bhp. This means it is good for 0 to 62mph in 5.1 seconds, whilst also able to return circa 36mpg, whilst the predecessor returned less, at circa 30mpg.

Audi has been clever, as the A6 platform is not really for agile and dynamic driving or a track or bendy road, therefore it did not need to be a zingy petrol.

In this diesel format, it bridges the gap for those wanting pace, without the drawbacks of a V8 petrol engine. And for those wanting ultimate power, then a used RS6 will be better your thing, but this S6 is a just a fine, fast, comfortable premium car, which will devour miles with ease.

Practicality and Running Costs

The beauty with a used Audi S6 is that there are two body styles available, a Saloon and an Avant, therefore you can tailor your perfect Audi S6 to your exact needs.

The Avant offers than enhanced practicality, thanks to a bigger boot at 550 litres, as opposed to the Saloon version's 520-litre boot. The Avant can also have its rear seats folded to offer 1660 litres of van-like load space.

Running costs will mirror most premium cars of this calibre, and the fact the engine is a diesel, the economy will be better than previous generations, or competitor petrol versions.

Servicing is recommended at a Stratstone Audi retailer, who use specialist Audi trained technicians, equipment and parts.

Interior, Technology, and Safety

Audi interiors have been beautifully classy and full of tech since the launch of the striking Audi Cockpit comprising a digital instrument cluster.

With the accompanying digital infotainment screen in the centre of the dashboard, along with a further digital display for the air conditioning controls, the S6's interior is a fine place to spend time, meaning covering ground in complete comfort and refinement is properly easy and enjoyable.

Technology and safety go hand in hand with a used Audi S6 too, as the 'Technology Pack' came as standard meaning a 360-degree camera, Bang & Olufsen premium sound system, Head-up display and Parking assistant plus pack ensure safety and technology is superb.

Is the Audi S6 right for me?

If you fancy a saloon or estate car which is a little more dynamic than your average, whilst also being effortlessly quick and able to devour miles in complete comfort, then the Audi S6 is a fine used car choice.

A BMW M550i (5 Series), which is the BMW's high performance offering before you get to the M5, will be more dynamic and suit those looking for a sharper overall drive, but it will be thirstier.

That said, the S6 is a fine best of both world's car for those who still want decent economy and practicality with their used performance car.
