After owning a 997 C2S 911 for nearly 5 years (Blk/Blk, Carbon Ceramic, Sport chrono, full leather, Softronic Flash) I was convinced that I would just continue to buy 911s in perpetuity. There is truly something special about the 911 and its not lost on me. But to live with it day in and day out become laborious, not to mention my wifey (who loved it when I was young and single) prefers her range rover's ride, so rarely did the porsche make it out at night if she was to be my passenger.
I have long been trying to find a suitable daily driver that i can get excited about. I haven't been wild about BMWs products lately (they seem neutered and desensitized) and while i do like some product from Benz (New S class is great but i don't want a land yacht and the E-Class is decent but seems like it changes to dramatically every few years). I just couldn't find the right fit.
I went and looked at the Maserati Ghibli; it looked great, fit and finish was decent (high by italian standards!) and oh that sound! Then i drove it... the car did nothing for me. Quite bummed.
Then i drove the S6. Having had a few S4's in my day (that i loved) i should have been keen on this car previously. It checks all the boxes. V8 turbo is a beast, transmission is excellent and the diamond stitch leather guts packed with techy gadgets is one of the most desirable interior in the game. The air suspension and myriad of adjustable bits also moves the needle.
Long story short, i am thrilled with my purchase. I know many of you fellow S6/7 owners have done the APR tune; is it too much power or twitchy? Would also like to explore a mild exhaust system as the car is a touch too quiet for me.
At any rate- welcome any suggestions or feedback on the car, thinking hard about the APR tune. Glad to be on the forum.
thanks
