Currently hunting for my ideal rs6.

Red is too flash, black is too hard to keep clean, don't like blue cars, so I'm looking at the graphite silver.

I've found a nice one but its got red leather seats

However, the more I look at it the more I like it

It picks out the red accents on the outside like the brake lights and rs badge

Any opinions?

The seats are a bit 'too red' for my personal liking, but look at it another way, you'll be sat on most of it while you're enjoying the drive...

mynickers

Cool, maybe you could get some flames to go down the side and match the seats?

awful seats - but that's MY taste (I can't stand em)

I like the Exterior colour

The seats should be either Grey or Black

Edcase

By grey do you mean the 'silver leather' ?

Daniel-S

If thats what its called then yeah mate

Nice Grey leather seats

Edcase

Hehe, I wasn't being pedantic I was genuinely trying to clarify

Still working out what all the options / colours are

Like the ext colour but not seats nor the /myrtle 'wood' inserts.

Edcase

Have to say i prefer the wood to the carbon fibre. Red seats don't seem to be getting much support I wonder if I can use it as a bargaining tool to lower the price

Mate the red seats are pretty.... well.....unique! Not to my personal taste.

You WILL have a lot of trouble when it comes to resale.

I went for Mugello Bule, Black seats (white piping) and carbon trim. My favo combo aqnd the widest resale appeal.

Edcase

Yeah fair point, even if i get some money off now I will lose money again when I try to resell myself.

2p's worth - HIDEOUS

If they are anything like the 'Imola' inserts in my M5 then they will appear about 10 shades lighter/brighter on a photo than in the flesh.

You may find they are actually dark red and no where near as bright as they appear in the photo. I would deffo see it in the flesh before making a decision.

Unless you replace the interior. Must be a few wrecked RS6's out there!

Edcase

yeah thats what i thought in the first (top) pic

Buying that RS6 with those (horrid) red seats would no doubt cause major problems when you come to sell it..... both in residual terms and saleability.

THere are plenty around (probably too many !) for decent money - why would you even contemplate that one - unless its half the price of the others ??

Whats your budget ?

robertdon777

I,d buy it, love the seat and paint combo, but would change the inlays to brushed alu or carbon/kevlar.

Personally i like red seats in most cars like the M3 E46 combo in a similar colour and the S2000 again in a similar colour.

Rob

Edcase

robert - i agree with you, esp. the S2000

Gastro - I'm lazy (read: very very busy) and it's the nearest one to me at Audi

Budget is £35k

Skittles

Tonnes of RS6s about for that money!

Aaquil

NOPE!!!!

Edcase

Indeed! There's 2 tonnes in that one car alone!!!

My dads mate had his RS6 in graphite grey with creame seats, looked really nice, but Id be to scared to let anyone sit in it with really light seats.

Petem95

Dont do it!!! Those seats are horrific!!

Lets face it, you are only trying to convince yourself you like the red seats just because you cant be bothered to wait for one with decent seats to turn up!!

Wait until you find exactly the one you want, you'll only regret it otherwise.

GCollier

As others have already posted I think you'll have a lot of trouble come re-sale time with those seats.

My RS6 is mugello blue, has silver leather seats with black piping and aluminium trim. Contrary to what you may think, the light leather really doesn't show up the dirt and is easy to keep clean.

I also dismissed red cars when I was buying mine on the grounds of possibly harder resale, but have to say that the RS6 really looks good in misano red - a nice contrast to all the boring dark blue/grey/silver cars around.

Schtoppp!!!! The red looks a bit gay Ed (particularly with the wood). Take your time and find something a bit more palatable. Surely there must be some nice understated interiors available with the graphite? The rest of the car's lovely by the way

Edcase

Okay okay, you big bullies

porkerboy

I quite like the colour combo. If you like it, buy it, after all its your car. Resale will not be affected hugely by the colour of the seats.

big MO

My black ones went brown in the first few days wonder if this will effect it's resale value??? Mind you, having so much fun in her at the moment, don't think I will sell her........ despite the brown seats
