My Audi RS6 is my dream car. I have three kids and we can all pile into the wagon with loads of stuff. It's surprisingly roomy too, as I've had four large friends over 6' 3" all get in for a long drive

The 2025 Audi RS6 Review: When Over-Engineering Becomes a Misadventure in Inconvenience The 2025 Audi RS6 is what happens when engineers are given unfettered budgets and too much free rein—resulting in a vehicle so cluttered with unnecessary complexities that it stumbles over its own ambition. Beneath its polished exterior and impressive specs lies a car that, instead of making your life easier, manages to make driving feel like a never-ending chore of troubleshooting. Settings Shenanigans: A Masterclass in Overcomplication From the moment I drove it off the lot, the RS6 demonstrated its talent for turning the mundane into the maddening. Settings for seats, drivers, and every other conceivable adjustment would mysteriously reset without rhyme or reason. Imagine my frustration when I discovered the culprit: the keys. Each key has its own settings, and switching between them wreaks havoc on your preferences. Audi’s decision to implement this bizarre feature raises the question—why not simply allow drivers to save their settings within the car and toggle them with a button? It's a baffling oversight that transforms a luxury vehicle into a lesson in unnecessary frustration. Heads-Up Display: Misinformation in Motion While many vehicles excel at displaying accurate speed limits, the RS6's heads-up display seems to take artistic liberties. With a dismal 80% accuracy rate, it misreads signs with such frequency that one wonders if it’s trying to parody the concept of "precision engineering." This isn’t just an annoyance—it’s an affront to the standards one expects from a car in this price range. Cruise Control Catastrophes The RS6’s adaptive cruise control adds another layer of irritation. On multiple occasions, it randomly reduced my speed to comply with an incorrectly detected limit, despite the complete absence of cars ahead. The system's erratic behavior made what should have been a seamless feature feel more like a hazard. Refueling Redundancies When refueling, the car insists on an additional, absurd step: pressing a button to confirm you’ve added gas. No other car in my collection—most of which cost significantly less—demands such a patronizing interaction. Was Audi worried drivers might forget they’d just filled up? Bluetooth Blues The RS6 is a Bluetooth nightmare. Despite being the most expensive car in my garage, it only manages to connect to my phone half the time. Audi’s customer service explanation? Blame Apple and suggest using a cable—hardly a solution befitting a vehicle of this caliber. If my less expensive cars can handle wireless connectivity flawlessly, what excuse does Audi have? Tires: A Misguided Nod to Racing Heritage The RS6 inexplicably comes equipped with racing tires—utterly ill-suited for a car designed for year-round use. After dropping a small fortune on the vehicle, I had to spend even more on tires that could handle cold weather. This isn’t innovation; it’s negligence disguised as performance-driven design. Final Verdict: Ambition Without Practicality In its quest to dazzle with engineering excess, the RS6 sacrifices usability, leaving a vehicle that's more frustrating than fulfilling. For all its horsepower and pedigree, it fails as a daily driver, requiring constant compromises that other, far more affordable cars don’t demand. If given the choice, I’d take my Cadillac, TRX, or Jeep over the RS6 any day—each of which matches its speed while delivering ease of use and reliability Audi seems to have forgotten. The 2025 Audi RS6 isn’t just over-engineered; it’s overthought to the point of absurdity. A shame, really, because beneath all the clutter, there’s a great car trying to escape.
