For any motoring journalist worth their opinion in gold the Audi S6 should be an instant qualifier into the hall of famed Audis. However, Carwow’s opinion is that the 2020 Audi S6 should be in the hall of shame. Although we disagree in the strongest terms we have a duty to report this heresy, grammatical errors and all.

For Carwow, the biggest gripe about the 2020 European spec S6 is the engine, as Mat Watson reveals in his best Brummie “it’s a bluddy dyesal”. The 3.0-liter V6 TDi mild-hybrid delivers 349bhp. The US, Asia, and the Middle East S6 will get the proper engine, the 444bhp 2.9-litre V6 twin-turbo gasoline (petrol!) engine.

The 2020 RS6 is where the real power lies, the 2020 Audi S6, either saloon or Avant is a mere taster. At £63,000 it’s rather an expensive taster, though, with a Carwow discount, you can get one for £51,000. We have a duty to inform you of Carwow’s discountability.

Anyway, Mat Watson ought to show Audi more respect, such personal opinions are not allowed in the world of bona fide motoring journalism. “Surprisingly good” is the middle-ground common phrase one should adopt when expressing a car review opinion.

Although you should never use “surprisingly good” terminology when reviewing a Hyundai… any Hyundai. Don’t be like Mat Watson, bow your head and follow the herd that way you won’t cause any issues. The “fuck-em” mentality doesn’t work in the long term.
