Before its notable run in the B6 and B7 S4s, Audi’s 4.2l 340hp V8 did a lot of its business in the S6. Until the arrival of the mental V10, I always found the S6 to be a bit underplayed compared with its S4 cousins. This does make it even more of a Q-ship though, equally at home steathily slicing up freeway lines as pounding up snowy mountains. Today’s S6 comes with a reasonable 83k miles and a litany of options including heated seats front and rear to keep the family warm at the ski resort or just to make you feel a little more comfy in traffic. Silver mirrors and some of my favorite wheels of all time suggest the power to those who know, but mostly this is a great way to have some hidden fun in an eminently useful wagon.

Been there, done this. It’s a great luxury family cruiser, and if you live in the snowier climates, it’s an impressive ski hauler too. Quick, and a very capable performer, but always felt heavy. Sort of like it just didn’t feel like it wanted to be pushed around the way our E39 Touring did. On the other hand, it was hard to argue with the beautiful interior design and materials, solid and substantial feel and long trip comfort. Nervous about longer term repair expenses, I didn’t hang onto mine…unfortunately, I think.
