Audi RS6 Avant
The wagon that broke the internet's brain. Four rings, five doors and serious firepower — the RS6 Avant is a big part of why “why don't they sell wagons here?” became a rallying cry. (Now they do.)

Which years hold up and which to avoid is exactly what owners know best — check the Audi community, and always inspect a specific car (a cheap Bluetooth OBD2 reader pulls stored fault codes before you buy).
Import note: some versions were never sold new in the US. Under the 25-year rule they can be legally imported once eligible — see the import guide and the eligibility countdown.
