What's up yall. Back at it again with a new ride in the stable. I have to admit, I feel like I have been becoming a brand loyal son of a b*tch lately. Audi is really stepping their game up in terms of design and engineering.

Car's I considered as a DD before getting this, 13 CLS63 - 13 M6..I could have gotten the CLS for a steal, but I am seeing a lot of them running around here in NY. The M6 is still amazing, but it's way more $$ than the S6.

S6...$80k sticker. Only things I didn't get were the Heads up display/Night Vision and B&O system. Those options roughly would have brought the car up to 90k. I leased this car for 2400 out of pocket and 1079/month. Taxes in.

Motor - 4.0 L Twin Turbo 8 making 420hp/400tq.

The interior fit and finish is a 10. Amazing quality buttons/leather and plastic pieces. Even though the car doesn't have the full leather package on the dash and doors - the material still feels solid and doesn't look cheap. Comes stock with the Diamond Stitched seats and Carbon Trim.

The transmission is a 7speed, shift paddle/auto Dual Clutch. I have never seen a car shift this fast. Even driving the car in the comfort mode (audi mmi allows you to pick the driving characteristics i.e. differential, suspension, transmission, exhaust and etc.) The tach just looks like a quick blur. Driving this car in Dynamic mode (essentially the sportiest) - the air suspension lowers, the exhaust note growls, seat belts auto tighten, transmission is super aggressive - I almost feel like when driving, I need to look down at what gear it's in because it shifts that fast.

Some things I don't like - the stock exhaust has a nice purr - But needs more growl behind it. It's a big car and with the 20" stock wheels - it rides amazing. BUT I can see that I will need to tighten the suspension up in the future. A LITTLE sloppy when really pounding it.

Mods in store - Suspension Module/ECU Flash/Downpipes/Exhaust - Wheels. Done. Since it's going to be my DD..I want it to still be able to handle the every day beatings.

It's going to get a full detail from our forum sponsor Dave @Street Dreams on Tuesday. Right now the car has 0 Wax on it. Just a regular wash.

 

Congrats, sweet ride. I love this car over the M6 (drove it and it sucked), the CLS 63 would really lack the tech but will wow with tq. Notice you did not even mention its biggest competitor the M5. You picked right!
When the new A6 3.0 came out, they quoted me 1100/mo with 5k down for a fully loaded car . Now they are going for 850/mo, so for you to get this at that rate is great. Audi usually has horrible lease rates, so very happy to hear what you got it for.

 

That is an awesome colour for the S6.

 

Thanks guys.

I did think about the M5..but thought - which I hate about most BMW's..Folks have the 550 with the Msport kit..you really cant tell the difference. Too subtle of a change. But I did drive it and it is a great car. The Benz's tech for sure is what pushed me away. They need to update their interface asap.

 

Wow what a color, that is amazing. Was wondering if you have used the launch control yet? I remember reading very low numbers for this car.

 

congrats on the ride, but seriously, how did you get it so cheap? did you have any trade in? my payment is less than yours but i put more money out of pocket. whats your residual % at end of term? and also how long is the term/miles allowed? any discount off msrp? sorry for the million questions im just trying to compare. if you dont want to share info here pm me please, thx.

 

Audi loyalty + car below invoice. I hustled dealers since I also ordered an rs5.

12k miles yr 36 months.

 

Excellent color choice, and great negotiating.

The 7 speed rocks (have it in my S4).

Enjoy!
