Today, we're checking out two impressive Audi models -- the 2021 Audi RS6 Avant and the 1994 Audi RS2 Avant, which are fast Audi wagons from 25 years apart. I'm going to go over the differences between these two cars, and then I'll drive the RS2 and RS6 Avant to let you know what I think of the driving experience.

This review reminds me of the differences I see between my (b4)95 passat vr6 manual wagon and my (b6) 07 passat vr6 tiptronic wagon. Engagement vs technology. Functional need vs luxury. Old fast vs newer almost double the horse power fast. And engines used in audi and porsche vehicles. I enjoy driving the 95 so much more, but I'd be lying if the guy in the dodge ram hemi pulling up to me in the 07 saying "does that thing have the 3.6?! Sh#t! That thing hauls ass!", didn't make me feel cool.
It remains to be seen whether all the gauge cluster screens, LED turn signals, electronically shifted transmission and self-raising tailgate on the RS6 will still work after the 27 years that the basic RS2 has survived.
how did doug get that license plate numbber
mostly aesthetic changes not required to actually drive a vehicle. 25 years later the same 4 wheels, one steering wheel, dual side mirrors, same tail lights as far as required function. The same old internal combustion engine. When they fly call me.
don't all Audi's look the same??? OOOO
some early 1970's wagons were fast with large V8 engines:)
Both those cars look like something Hunter Biden would raw drive...
22:00 omg how cool are the air vents in the seats! Must be amazing for interior downforce
Moral of the story, as is always - automatic transmissions, no matter how fancy, decrease the fun of driving; as does weight.
08:29 the random guy screaming lmaoo
Porsha lol I just like to say Porcshe not the a sound at the end
Between 23:30 and 24:00 what is that orange car in the rear mirror getting owned by the RS6? It looks like he attempts to keep up when he gets on the on ramp and then just fades away :D
Damn that boi thicc
those fake plates are a funny touch
I love how cars from the 90s have a much simpler cosmetic design than today. really emphasis the lines of the car. less visual clutter. I think doug made the right choice between the 2.
Powered by Porsha
I don’t know if i am the only one here who thinks that RS 2 looks so much more “cozy” and True and Distinct .. unlike the RS6 that can be mixed up with pretty much every 3d car on the street.. No excitement at all about those “lines” and “big grills”, Doug.
I love Audi wagons, imo those are some of the most beautiful cars ever. And i'm very into new RS6 look but my god if I had the money I would go with that 94' RS2, it is just so much cooler and I love the front, it's just so rally looking, damn.
They are at least 4+ inches different in height. That is a lot. A. Lot.
Man I love the old Audi 80 design, so classic...
Love the RS2. Show us more of your Audi Doug. How about a review on a Passat W8 wagon?! Maybe do a Passat W8 vs RS2 video. Please.
rs2 is closer to modern rs4 (longitudinal engine layout) or even rs3 (engine itself). And here the hippo rs6
Old school all day, every day...! 😜
The only thing I don't like better from the 94 are the wheels
Next time you should test a Aston Martin Cygnet vs a DB10 I like that there aren't any map pockets in the back. At 160mph you wouldn't want to be reading a map in the rear. This isn't as much of a comparison as Doug trying to justify buying the RS2 vs the RS6 Porsche Engineering: "How can we make it go faster." Volkswagen Engineering: "How can we make it break down faster?" Doug caught by the Father of a 16yo girl. "Don't worry, she's relatively legal."
The RS6 only has such large brakes becuase it is HEAVY AF, nearly 5000 pounds.
Are these animated tail lights going to be equivalent to tail fins, vinyl wood paneling, and teal paint jobs? Meaning will it become extremely dated or at least to be able to date the car?
RS6 for daily RS2 for weekend!
Doug. Transporting an infant. lol.
So is there any rhyme or reason to Daddy Doug converting to real units or is just like “Murrrica!!”
Adam LZ’s RS6 in the review
Doug the rs2 rear end look a little bit like the rear end of a 1994 toyota tecrcel😂
I see what you did with the license plates!
I like the RS2, BUT... the RS6 is incredibly amazing XD
I love the license plate Easter egg
Cars are more capable now - but older cars had more character... that includes the interior. the RS2 interior is still beautiful
Why on earth would anyone want an SUV over either of these wagons??? unless you need to go off road in a Range Rover - these wagons are better in every way
13:59 why wouldn't you just cut to it?!? THIS IS A VIDEO YOU ARE A HUworldR DO YOUR JOB LMAO
"combination of them both" - RS3? Has the smaller size and less power but also the tech and daily drivability.
Thisssss comparison is flawed, because the RS4 Avant would be the suitable car.
Ah yes, fast wagons. Doug, you helped convince me how awesome the E63 AMG wagon is, and I finally got one last week :) Carbon brakes and everything
Doug u must turn around the camera to the road and the gauge cluster
14:14 built-in "screen"?
Hey Doug. Is the steering wheel in your RS2 aftermarket. Can't find any in Europe with that wheel. All I can see is 4 spoke steering wheel like you get in a modern SE Audi?
Conclusion: Audi's are getting more pointless. Power which you can't use. Interior which doesn't work in sun.. or at night.. or is robust. Price is getting near to supercars, so what is the point? And the 5 cyl sounds better than the new V8. Crazy? Well.. how many cars have V8 now and how many are 5 cyl? Also I want to see this RS6 in 27 years from now. RS6 with V10 were struggling to make it thru the warranty period.
Doug be like: “Can I have that 6 license plate for my collection ?”
Why, oh why you pronounce the Porsche Porschaaaa...?? Nobody pronounces it that way in the whole wide world except Americans.. You simply stop before this annoying -aaaa comes to your tongue.
You should have compared the new RS4 Avant with RS2. It would have been much more interesting to see the progress of technology and design for basically the same car...
Audi RS6 is without a doubt the car I would choose to drive if somebody told me I can have any car I want, but just one.
RS 6 exhausts are fake. Same with sound
"stuff creecks..." * drives with half-folded back seat
I need that CRX Si on cars an bids.
8:29 crazy scream in the distance
Yellow
Still love that manual RS-2. That being said, I LOVE the RS-6, and would love to have it...and the money to repair it. Cause that’s going to cost you! 💰 😱
Now I'm just convinced Doug Demuro and Jay Leno are completely related
Make a video of w210
Lovely eldritch noise at 8:28. Really sets the mood. 🤣
Don't agree with his view, RS2 is a pretty car, solid lines, interior is minimalistic, functional. Later Audi cars just scream for attention with round shapes, "race" like-looks and all screens. It states mostly that car design just got worse, trying to make everything look "agressive". Maybe because cars got so much hate lately that they are overcompensating? Audi is btw one of the companies that still holds back on this new design styles and still makes relatively pretty cars. Also funny to see that the square tail light" blocks" are coming back like on the polestar.
well actually comparing rs2 to rs4 would be cool, still interesting though
Hey Doug. Congrats on your channel, I love it! Don't you think the best of both worlds would be the 2021 RS4? It has the footprint of the RS2 and the tech of the RS6. What do you think?
The RS2 has 2 trunk lid latches! Quite a rare situation. Take that RS6!
Please do my first car. A 93 z34 lumina in Maui blue.
I'll take the interior and exterior styling of the RS 2 all day every day
I love that you took the license plates from your collection to represent each car! Such a cool little Easter egg
Dang that is one heck of a view
I like the bit where Doug is reassuring Doug that Doug did not buy Doug an absolute crap box because manual
Doug & carsandbids.com vs Linus & lttstore.com Who would win?
the break wheel and tire difference really jumps out in that first picture
RS2 any day, even with the RS6 in this colour.
I take the old one over the rs6, new cars are designed to look like toys, with dancing lights and stupid huge weels. Sorry for my english
@Doug Demuro: 27 years Doug, 27.....
"Still relatively legal" Yes! Quote of the day. That's what I'll say to the police officer next time I get pulled over! :P
Audi Rectangle Sport 2
Brilliant video I can not believe the size difference
the brakes on the new one are as big as the wheels on the old one. that is so crazy!
More Doug comparos!
I nearly lost it when Doug teleported and said second "THISSSSSSSSSSSS"
"...looks so much less modern". Maybe because it's more than two decades old. Great observation, Doug.
Cool to see Morty reviewing cars
It's an absolute joke to call the design of the RS6 distinct (sweeping lines, headlights). Literally EVERY car these days has these design features.
i dont understand why ppl dislike this videos, what do you dislike ? Dougs shorts showing those knees or what ?
Doug loves a good toss.
Why are new cars so big tho?
Doug the kinda guy to say to his gorgeous wife “you’re not going to dress boring again are you? Please dress modern like Lady Gaga c.2012!”
The RS2 does not have electronic AIDS.
How is this a tribute to the RS2 Avant and not the S6 plus Avant? The plus came out in 1996, so exactly 25 years ago, also came in Nagaro blue, had a V8 and is based on the A6/100 C platforms and not the A4/80 B platform. It’s probably due to the fact that the anniversary edition was released in Germany in 2019 but I still feel this is much closer to the S6 plus.
11:18 He keeps on talking about "modern standards", but at the time the RS2 existed, the technology inside that car could have been considered cutting edge, leave aside "standard" - look at that compact cassette player, for example, and those gauges above the stick shift
17 inches (1,5 foot) starting to google.. Metric system for the win.. :)
That is the WORST shade of blue I have ever seen. How can you take the COOLEST color on the spectrum, and make it look like the candy shell of an M&M? Absolutely abysmal!
I wouldn’t say it the worst, but it doesn’t make my top-5.
All of these comments about the styling and technology differences between these two cars can be applied to a comparison of the Camry of today to a Camry from 25 years old. Common sense stuffs. Not interesting at all.
Couldn’t tell which one was the new one
Why do you have Utah plates in your RS2?
Am I the only one that hates the everything-touchscreens approach of the latest cars? I feel they've overlooked other approaches. I "get" the utility and versatility of a single, large screen high on the center console, but for many controls, you want physical knobs and switches that you can find and operate WITHOUT LOOKING! This is particularly true for things like driving modes, that you may want to QUICKLY adjust while driving. It also would make sense to have a couple of rotary dials that can be used on whatever app the main screen is on -- changing the volume and station on the music screen, zooming in/out and selecting route options on in the navigation screen, etc. That's not to say there can't be on-screen buttons as well, but those are there for the passenger to stare at while they operate. I also think the Bugatti Chiron is a good example of how you can use rotary dials combined with push buttons that have small built-in display screens. Whereas the large main screen is intended to be flexible and get software updates and new apps, there are other things such as the HVAC controls that will never need to change, so these can be put below the main screen. The idea is, if I want to increase the temperature two degrees on my side of the car, my hand can hunt for the knob and turn it two clicks, and I know the little screen is showing two degrees higher even though I never even looked at it.
I debated skipping this video when I saw the title, but I enjoyed this so much more than I thought I would. Very fun to watch!
NO MORE CARS AND BIDS ADS
I have a first-gen fully restored Mustang from early '65, original 289 V8 and all, and I love it for the same reasons Doug loves the RS2. You can really push the car to its limits and not have to worry too much about speed, and the convertible top on it makes it an awesome car to take on back road drives.
Doug: This is an ultra rare 1 of 25 car that I would kill to own Adam LZ: so I got this car and it’s not my color, might sell later.
The RS6 is much more modern than the RS2... How did you figure that one out?
