Pros
- Torquey and powerful V8TT engine
- Fast 7-speed DCT
- Supposedly better fuel economy
- Good towing capacity
- Multi-link suspensions all-around
- Great multi-link suspension setup
- Awe-inspiring 605hp of power and 700Nm of torque
- Perhaps more reliable than the RS 6 from the previous generation (C6)
- Exciting I5 TFSI engine
Cons
- Lots of complexity yet little room for any work in the engine bay
- Still nose-heavy
- Arguably less attractive than the RS6 Avant
- Stuck with MacPherson struts in the front
- No manual transmission available
- Questionable styling (the hatchback is much better)
