I have always loved RS6’s and still fancy getting one, I currently have a RR Sport 2008 that I use as a daily driver and a few trips on the weekend, I live in MN and commute around 15 miles a day round trip.>>
So I want to sell the RR and get a smaller car so I can get a lift in my garage and buy a classic 911. Life story over.>>

Now having read many posts, you could get the feeling that the RS6 is a nightmare with DRC and TC issues, are they really this bad? I get it’s a performance car and maintenance will be high (drive belts, brakes etc), but if maintained are they a good DD?>>
>>
I ask as I read similar nightmares about the RR, but other than maintenance it has been fine. Are the horror stories rare and generally these are well built German cars or is this for fans only?>>
>>
I really want one but I am not a fanatic and don’t want something I am constantly throwing $$ at. My other choice is a E500 4 matic, for the same money I can get a 2005-2006 car vs a 2003. Or crazier still a VW Phaeton, which seems to be a stupid amount of car for the money.>>

Is a RS6 a good DD, good in winter, reliable (as any performance car can be), or would I be better with something else??>>
