Reviewers generally regard the RS 6 Avant as one of the most compelling performance vehicles available in any body style, praising its blend of extraordinary straight-line and cornering performance with genuine everyday practicality. Most consider it overqualified for the wagon segment in the best possible way, though they consistently note its premium pricing places it in a very exclusive, self-selecting market.
