RS6 question
One for all the RS6 owners here.
1) I notice there is no multi function steering on the used examples I've seen. Was it not an option? I'm suprised it wasn't standard on a £60k car
2) Was paddle gear shift an option or was it standard on later cars? Is it any good.
Thanks
Deep

Multifunction steering wheel was not an option.
Gear shift paddles are an option on other Audis but standard on the RS6. They're very good - either for taking full manual control of gear changes, or quickly dropping a gear for an overtake or a corner when in fully auto mode.

Nothing is standard on Audi's because they are greedy f*ckers and charge you for everything as 'extra's'. Even reverse parking sensors which are standard on most other cars of that quality, i.e BMW, Land Rover, Mercedes etc

My RS6 does not have the multi function steering wheel, but has the paddles as standard.
Have a look at http://www.rs246.com/ In the download section you see the pricelists and specifications.
Cheers

Granted, GCollier's post is abrupt 
however, if his/her defence, in the context of the actual thread (ie RS6), your comments could be percieved as relating to this particular model.
If you had have put
then all would have been understood.
Please don't think I'm telling you how to write posts, but this is how the post came over

Judging by the punctuation, grammar and sweeping statements - we obviously are in the presence of a "rockette scientisty"

Hey Deep,
I've been looking at a couple locally, although I would only go for the tourer not the saloon.
A friend has an S8 that's been to the moon and back and has never skipped a beat, it's a proper bullet proof car built like old Mercs used to be, needless to say I'm very tempted, but also getting married next year so money's a bit tight.
If I was in your situation (rich
) and also being sensible a new 535 Twin Turbo D Tourer with some nice wheels would be top of the list, it's probably the most capable car ever designed, it literally does everyhing you want.
