S6
And then we get to by far and away the worst thing: the ride. They call it “S line”, and it doesn’t take too long to work out what the S might stand for. Clue: four letters, begins with S, ends in hit. Which is odd because it really isn’t one.
It’s not firm in a controlled way. It’s firm like the matron in a Carry On film. It’s firm to the point where you start to laugh at its complete inability to ride with grace or panache over absolutely anything.
I would love to meet the team who designed it, because I do not believe that anyone who has ever driven “a car” before could possibly have fitted this and thought it might do. Their bosses should certainly dig out their CVs and do some deep background investigation, because they’re either imposters or they’re secretly working for BMW.
I can’t be bothered to go on, frankly, because it doesn’t matter how much I like the styling or the quality, or wonder why you might want to spend £400 on an electric boot lid that closes at the speed of glacial drift; everything is overshadowed and ruined by the suspension, and to a lesser extent by the steering and the throttle linkage — which is as fast as the boot lid is slow.
Perhaps they wired them up the wrong way round?
With a tiny, tiny set of tweaks and a lot of mass sackings in the suspension design department, the S6 could be turned into something quite breathtaking. The ingredients are all there. But what you are being offered for £56,600 is actually well beyond a “disappointment”: it is actually utterly, utterly useless.

Oooh Alan, you have no hesitation with slating BMs but as soon as you get a bit back you get all huffy. Countless fast Audi reviews have said similar things - fast, nice inside, average chassis, poor steering. Countless fast BM reviews say similar things - great handling, good chassis, some limitations with RWD. So in my case, my views are in line with the vast majority. Yours are just because you think your v10 barge should automatically be better than anything else. It isn't and nor is any modern Audi bar the b7 rs4 and the r8.
