Our Take:
- Muscle Meets Practicality: The 2002 Audi S6 Avant is a beautiful mash-up of practicality and performance, wrapped in the understated body of a wagon. With a 4.2-liter V8 engine producing 340 horsepower, this car embodies Audi's knack for blending power with versatility. It's essentially the daring sibling of the more mundane A6 Avant, but with an engine that roars rather than purrs.
- Quattro Heritage: Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive system traces its roots back to rallying days, giving the S6 Avant a distinct edge in handling and grip—even when the weather throws a curveball. This AWD system was ahead of its time, offering confidence-inspiring traction that makes spirited driving a pleasure, especially in less-than-ideal road conditions.
- Rarity and Collectability: In the U.S., the S6 Avant is genuinely a rare bird. Audi wagons have their own cult following, and the S6 Avant is no exception. As enthusiasts seek out wagons for both their utility and their uniqueness, this model is increasingly appreciated as a sleeper classic. Owning one delivers not just performance but exclusivity, too.
- Reliable Workhorse: Audi’s 4.2-liter V8 is celebrated for its durability; it's not unusual to find these engines trundling past the 300,000-mile mark, a testament to their robust engineering. While it doesn't sip fuel lightly—it’s a V8 after all—it offers a fair MPG for its class, making it somewhat of an anomaly: a performance vehicle you can actually live with daily.
