Worried about the green issues with diesel I decided to be sensible and change back to a nice petrol family car - they do sound a lot nicer!

Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. But then that's because anything RWD is absolutely bugger all use to me for work.
Looks nice though.

Looks in beltin nick for a 56 plate. There'll be some fun to have in that I'm sure....when the family aren't in it, of course

epic engine rapped in a poorly made wrapper.
I'd had gone R4 Avant if you're a family man.

No chance. RS6 V10 Avant is the real family machine.

not for the same price of the OP's car and the one I hinted towards. It'd be another £10k for the RS6....

All depends on what age you buy. I didn't say match the year. Also depends where you buy.

I like the RS4 - but slower and more expensive than mine. The V10 RS6 is too heavy and doesn't handle that well - and is a lot of money - different budget needed - and I blew mine - was only really thinking of E55 or CLS 55 but the deal worked out on this one - apart from the road tax! And the later W211s are not badly made - far from it - the earlier ones were worse and had electrical gremlins but this is a 2007 model, well past the 54 update that significantly improved it. And the engine is epic - not conducive to helping fuel economy, that is rubbish to start with!!

Got the car a week ago and drove to Shrewsbury for a few days. I last played the previous Wednesday Gary at Bearwood (day after Sunningdale) - and was -2 after 4 holes - not so good for the other 14!!

they didn't bung the V10 engine into the RS6 until 2008...

I did think about the older RS6 - V8 twin turbo - but concluded that an E55 was a better bet

Engine wise i'd have to agree. The merc engine is a masterpiece but I'd be scared of the car around it falling apart.
You're a brave man and I doth my cap to you.

A car with the acceleration and sound to match the practice swing! :whoo:
Make sure you go easy on the right foot, especially in the wet, or you'll end up on the wrong fairway, or at least ferns and trees, in proportion too!
