I think I'm more excited for this car than any car I've owned before. A decade-long dream fulfilled!!!
Looking forward to Doug-cember
You've made a great choice.
Please include Persian subtitles for the videos
That RS2 Avant is way Cooler then i expected
This has been one of my dream cars. Neat to see it, feels a bit simulation like. A bit outside of the price range, I am not sure i this helps :(
Doug is the type of guy to show the salesman around the car
I had to do that when I got my focus RS. The dealer had no idea what it was 😂
The salesman doesn't know all the quirks and features
😄😄😄
The best part about the conversation is when he will start with: "THHHHHISSSSS".
Are you trollge
5 years later: THISSSSSSSSSS is a Carrera GT. In fact, it's MY Carrera GT Edit: Doug you madlad, it took you only 2 years but you did it
I think its gonna be sooner than that
I hope he does! Dougy boi earned it all imo
I hope so. Most car youtubers are annoying but I would be happy if Doug got his dream car
That would be really cool
I really Hope that happen
If the Audi dealership cant help maybe Porsche can.
Reminds me of that Porsche 111 tractor commercial if you have to go to a Porsche dealership to get help
God no, it is an atrocity to put 4 doors and a hatchback on a porsche
@@scottwest5704 never! Go test drive a Macan GTS or turbo. They have no right to handle as well as they do! Maybe look like a big lump, but theres still Porsche in the DNA...
Just call the European dealer, no problems here.
@@Casloveskim one thing you HAVE to go to Audi for are brake disks & pads. Don't be fooled into thinking Porsche parts will fit. As apparently although they were supposedly from a 968, they don't fit. Something to do with the PCD or offset as I recall.
Two struggling brands in the 80s-90s helping each other out to survive, Now THAT's what I call teamwork
Facts
Wholesome
Audi wasn't struggeling at all.... they just wanted to be even more known for more premium cars. They were building the V8 and the 200 turbo since then but they can't made a really break through with these types and they had already the S2 and S4 which were really fast, but as we germans always think, we can do better, so go for it! ;-)

Doug is like if Quentin Tarantino had a passion for cars, it's really admirable to see you this excited.
Man I so agree with this, I love Doug because he's just so goddamn wholesome and passionate about cars, literally is like a kid when it comes to cars he loves, and it brings a smile to my face. I'm passionate about a number of things and have a lot of hobbies I love, but I'm not sure I could ever be as excited about something as Doug is about this car! I also really appreciate how he doesn't let his own bias get too in the way of his Doug Scores! I've always noticed how objective he tries to be when rating cars (no matter how much he personally likes them) and pointing out various cons about his own car that he loves oh so much really told me how dedicated he is to trying to rate vehicles fairly.
in Germany we call this "no show - but go"- thingy: "Ein Wolf im Schafspelz" which translates somehow like : "a wolf in sheep-fur"
so isses
A wolf in sheep's clothing
@@reillygardner273 that sounds correct. thanks mister
Wasn lös mit dem Kombi? Der geht ja wie sau
We have the same nickname for Mercedes benz E500
Audi dealer: “Sorry Sir, the RS2 does not exist.” Porche dealer: “Yes, sir we have everything in stock.”
Actually did he ever called a Porsche dealer for parts and servicing? This should be tagged and be answered in More dougdemouro
@@michaelpichardo4743 I was thinking the same thing.
The RS2 does not exist in Audi of America books because it was never sold in the United States. Call a dealership in Europe and you very likely will get the parts you need.
Audi dealer: "Sorry sir we have disowned this vehicle, try Porche" Porche: "though the brake callipers says Porche, but RS2 is actually an Audi, try calling Audi if you need the number its 0032..."
Some parts on the car like the mentioned wheels or mirrors actually have Porsche parts numbers, so it is possible to order them from a Porsche dealer.

@@haydenhale9066 Just got into Doug this last year. What. pray tell, is Dougcember? It sounds like I'm gonna love it.
If somebody ever tells you that cliché that “money can’t buy happiness” , just show them this video
Money can only buy happiness to an extent. It’s correlated not caused.
@mario Dias exactly, people who say that money can’t buy happiness just can’t afford what makes them happy lol
It depends. When people say "money can't buy happiness" they mean just spending your money on unnecessary luxuries that you don't really need that you will probably get bored of. However, if you are just spending that on things that you truly enjoy (like Doug purchasing this car) or driving a positive change on society, this rule generally doesn't really apply. But I know what you are trying to get at. This saying doesn't apply all the time.
don't forget he's married so cars are probably just one part of his happiness
Yeah I'm sure he walks around 24/7 thinking "My RS2 is sooooo awesome! It's great! I love it! Everyone loves me because I have an RS2. It's a blue one. It's great. All of my problems are gone. This car is so rare, it makes me forget my existential dread. We are just pointless stupid apes stuck on the surface af a moist rock. The only thing we are really good at is poisoning the planet and killing each other. Our planet will be uninhabited within a handful of generations, if we don't nuke each other to death by then. But hey, I have an RS2, a blue one. It has red callipers too. Isn't that great? Isn't it?
I'm starting to think Porsche was involved in building this car..
What tipped you off?
you sure?
Mmmh, I dunno where you got that from this video, man.
No that's not possible
Hard to say man
Other Car KZheadrs buying flashy McLaren's that they'll replace in a year, while Dougie's importing the genesis of Audi RS cars. Much respect, and very jealous!
this guy is insane , 12year old in the body of 30yr old
He bought it as an investment. The prices over the years have been stable and going up.
Agree, this is much more exciting than "I bought another supercar what color should I wrap it?"
What other youtubers? -HIIIIIII I AM SHMEEEEEEEEEEE
Every car he’s bought is classy
This is the happiest I’ve seen a person in 2020.
Lol. His voice jumping.
He’s over the moon for his new “Audi RS2”!
@@NeightrixPrime if u hate the rich doug so much u better stop watching & commenting cause that’s the way he gets money....
Low bar.
"I'm a little but nervous about servicing it." As a 95 Audi 90 owner I can say you should be very nervous about servicing it.
He named “Porsche” 73 times in this video about an Audi, from which 60 times in the first 10 minutes....
it´s his van, "i bought a porshe audi porshe van from audi made by porshe wich is a audi with a powerfull porshe developed by audi engine , the fastest station wagon in the world "at least for 30 days, before the release of both mercedes and bmw van, fastest than the audi A4 van
Porsche SHUHH. So god damn annoying.
Nope. He said "Porscha". It drove me nuts.
@@mikael2545 it's how it's said correctly
@@RUfromthe40s My bad. "Porsche" is correct. I meant "Porscha".
As an european car guy I'm truly happy that YOU out of all people own RS2 in states.
Me too!!! I had the chance to own one back in 1999 when I was living in Edinburgh - it was one of the scariest cars (in a good way) I ever drove!! I was fortunate to live where great country roads were 5 minutes away and I lived 50 miles away from work so got to drive it every day on backroads where I could drive like the lunatic I was back then. Never scared myself as much when I was driving that car without a care for speed limits. Most fun I ever had on four wheels!
Same😍
Yes
Cars & Bids money starting to hit Doug's account.
His KZhead page is where the fortune is.
He makes enough from this channel. almost 4M subs, so, yeah.. if you think Cars And Bids did it, then, think twice.
@@writenamehere0000 I watched another car channel do a video detailing views and income. That channel (not as popular as this one) made $7,000 per million views. This Chanel alone, not counting his others, got 19.5 m views last month. If you can create a popular channel it’s a licence to print money.
@@NeoHCgbz I understand that. All I meant was it’s very lucrative. It’s extremely difficult bringing success to a KZhead channel. Except for the odd viral video it’s quite an an accomplishment. Also, ppl like Doug and Hoovie have great personalities and bring something special to their videos.
@@renko9067 but other people get as low as $1,000 per million views before COVID. I doubt many KZheadrs get over $3k per million views, unless they have 10 ads on their video. Also, isn’t KZhead paying half in ad revenue because of COVID? Doug is likely making a lot less than $7k per million views.
Under the radar is exactly why I love my S4. It’s everything and understated at the same time. Love it.
I saw the Hotwheels of this car in Walmart today, and I was like "where do I recognize that car" then it hit me! 5 minutes later I'm waking out of Walmart with '94 Audi Avant RS2 and some fireworks.
Did you buy it? Was it nogaro blue and priced at $700?
Doug: This is a very important Audi car. Every non-car person at the Audi dealer: There's no such thing as a RS2
Lol he shoulda pulled up in it at the dealer to laugh at them for not being aware of what it is
@Floki Ab It is still that sleeper here in Germany.....
@i camouf all on ya it was talked about all over Europe in all car shows and magazines we are talking of the fastest station wagon in the world, but only for a short period of time(a month, not more if i remenber it correctelly, the other two known german brands did built each a fastest van in a short period of time ,more time making them legal with lot´s of bureaucracy ,maybe 2 days to make a faster van)it already existed was just a matter of tunning the car computer and install a bigger turbo to add 100 h.p. more than the Audi, regards and stay safe
@Floki Ab für mich schon.
@i camouf all on ya the car was wery wery known. It was all over because they killed everything and anything with it. The RS2 was a sensation and it is shamefull for an audi dealer not to know about this car. Grounds for immediate work termination, no questions asked.
The constant sucess of Cars and Bids will give Doug a Carrera GT someday
It will give him a Bugatti Divo in the background
he can easily afford on of those now off KZhead alone
@@dont_at_me__ the car costs almost a million
@@lhd4278 lol the bugatti divo is $6 million
@@dont_at_me__ "Afford" means different things to different people when it comes to really expensive things. Yes he has a million dollars to buy one, but he's smart enough not to do it if there's any chance he'll lose money on it. Like anyone who's smart with how they spend their money, dropping so much cash must be an investment that pays off in the end. It's an expensive car to own and maintain.
This is one of my favourite videos from Doug. The joy he has while speaking of this amazing car is unbelievable. He looks just like a kid with all those smiles and laughs. Great content, man! I can really relate as I was recently able to buy one of my favourite cars ever, a 2002 Mazda Miata, and the way my eyes light up when I show it around or speak about it is just like that. Love it!
Hello Doug, big fan here :). At minute 21 I noticed your gas springs from the trunk gate are mounted backwards. I work in the field and they should always be with the tube in the upper side while closed this is to have oil on the seal and not loose gas in time. Its very easy to rotate them you only need a screw driver for the black safety clip. Take care!
Seeing the sparkle in Doug's eyes as he is talking about this car puts a smile on my face
He’s gonna sell it in a couple of months or a year anyways
@@Sevan_UP Who do you think he is, Hoovie?
Doug: "I love love love how it looks!" Also Doug: Styling: "It gets a 7 out of 10."
He loves how it looks as a station wagon. It’s not a supercar to get a 10.
frankly its not more than a 7, but its hella good
3 at best

Doug, you never cease to make me giddy about a car. Kudos to having such an entertaining and successful channel. As a grown up kid your age, I fully get how you feel about some of these cars. Keep up the great work.
It's wonderful how you can't hide how damn pleased you are about the whole thing. It's nice to see someone fanboy without shame - you deserve it.
Few years later: THISSSS is CNC motor and I bought it. Here is why...

I swear Doug is starting to buy cars more than hoovie at this point
He used to buy a lot more cars
I agree!
@@yeety1208 but he never kept them
Hoovie definitely be on his shit
Actual functioning cars though.
I still remember being overtaken by one in Leicester UK, back in 1992. I was gobsmacked and fell in love with it instantly, The contrast of the blue paint and red tail lights was indeed a thing of beauty back then!
..blablabla, debut in germany was 03 / 1994, maybe sweet dreams, back then!
I’ve watched this video about 6 times since it came out a year ago and it’s STILL probably my favourite. Doug, keep being Doug.
Imagine going to the car dealership and they tell you your car doesn’t exist 😑
I had one of those. 73 Torino Elite with a special order 460.
I was told my Porsche 944 S2 cabriolet didn’t exist by the porsche dealership. But Sir, I drove it here. 😕
Me with my eechoolisimee cledutheefeele V6
[laughs in Saab 9-2X owner]
I drive Kia K5 (2012) from Korea. It's powered with liquid peroleum gas. No Kia dealership knows shit about my car since it doesn't exist in such version in my market.
Doug is the type of guy to get rug burns on his knees from playing hot wheels too aggressively 😂
I love scrolling through Doug’s comments just because of the Doug the type of guy jokes. This is pretty funny!
That was me when I was younger!😂😂😂😂
@@eaubfelangy8132 same!!!
LMAO!!
@@e70_x5_guy4 only funny because it's true lol
The middle of the lightbar also resembles the 911, thats why the licensplate is in the bumper just like on a porsche
Growing up in Germany I really loved this car. Someone owned one in my home town. so I got to see it every once in a while. I fell in love especially with the rear lightbar and the (back then) crazy color and I would of course love to own one today. 😎
Doug is the type of guy to buy car so rare that even the dealers that sell that brand don't know about the existence of that car.
To be fare that's not too high a bar depending where you live. I had to explain to the salesman that the R-spec was a trim when I went to buy it. (Disclaimer: he normally was in the used lot and was wonderful)
I find that inexcusable.
The people at the Audi dealerships were probably just desk workers who ultimately weren't huge car people. Maybe they have a database of all Audis they can work on? If the RS2 only JUST became importable, maybe it just wasn't in their database.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS CAR!!!!! I remember the magazine article where I was first introduced to the RS2! Brother, you've GOT to do a COUPLE of follow up videos on that thing!
Nobody: Doug: aNoThEr oNe But seriously Doug, your taste in automobile is * impeccable *
His taste isn't impeccable, but it's quite quirky though

I had one as a kid growing up in Germany. It was a 92 s2 avant. My dad was into buying and selling cars so we had it for around a yr before selling it in 99. It was my favorite car to drive growing up, our neighbor who was also my dads business partner drove an S6 diesel (can’t remember what yr model). Awesome video.
Hey Doug, it´s so much fun to see you so excited on your new cool car. I always like you and your videos, but this time it feels as twice as good as the other times, even that I don´t like station wagons too much. But I´m a big car enthusiast too and especially my drugs are youngtimer how we call those cars from 80s - 2000s in Germany. I have some sporty Audis and other cars from 90s too and when I see you I know I am not the only crazy one. Thank you so much and big, big greetings from Germany! You are the best and I can understand you better than any one other!! I am used to search for years to find clean cars from those models I like in a perfect condition and with a fitting list of extras. So it´s every time like a birth when I drive home with a new old car...;-)

Mate, we need more ENGINE NOISE! That 5 cylinder noise is absolute music!
You can really hear the pure joy and excitement in his voice. He’s truly so happy he has this car. Happy for you, Doug!
Congratulations Doug! What an amazing feeling, finally getting your dream car! I know so well how you feel. Not an import, or as rare, but I felt the same way when I bought my 2008 VW R32 back in 2016. I test drove one back in 2009 and fell in love instantly, but couldn't afford one at the time. When I was finally financially stable and living alone, I decided it was time, and found a well taken care of example maybe an hour or two from me. After competitive bidding, the owner decided to go with me because I drafted a bill of sale and had the cashier's check ready. I think it was also fate that we happened to both have a camping trip scheduled to the *same campground* that weekend. I walked over to his campsite, took a look, test drove it, then shortly after it was mine. It came with so many extras too! It was clearly a well-loved car and I think the owner was excited to sell to someone who would continue loving it. Still puts a smile on my face to this day, and I can't help but look back at it every time I walk away from parking it. I also can't tell you how many countless times I've been stopped in a parking lot to trade VW/Audi/Porsche stories, or get a friendly gesture on road trips. I'm sure you'll really love owning the RS2, I'm a wee bit envious!
I really enjoyed the history lesson in this review. I would appreciate more videos where I would learn something new about cars. Nice work.
I like how Doug says he can’t afford things but puts our video a few weeks later telling us he bought a $70,000 wagon from ‘94
For the Defender, yes he knows he will lose money on that. The Ford GT, RS2, old Defender, and even probably the convertible mercedes thing are investments that he will not lose money on save general maintenance.
Facts
True. However, he's after smart investment and likes to enjoy while enjoying a return. Plus he has a car auction website now and can capitalize on the exposure. I've been following him for years now and he always lends on his feet.
So lame!
If doug weren't impartial he would rated the cool factor a 10. I've never seen the man so happy.
Im really digging that SpaceX Profile pic👑
Same.
Dude, I've seen every one of your videos and I have NEVER seen you so fired up about a car. Proof positive that they are truly a personal thing. Congratulations, brother. Have fun out there!
I had one of those and several UR quattro's all of which I no longer have and regret. In the late 1980's and early 90's these were considered really fast, mainly because compared to the competition, the 4WD put it miles ahead. The 5 cylinder engine still sounds mean today. I never imagined how much they would appreciate.
I’m from Switzerland and can attest that these cars were indeed racing up the mountains during 90s winters:-)
But totay you'd pay more for this than you paid for the car. And you'd sit in jail.

Watching this video espacially makes me very proud beeing German. That smile on your face and that satisfaction you can feel when you stand next to the car is what german cars should really stand for. I‘m so glad for you. Also beautiful to see someone appreciating the whole worth of the RS2. Greetings from Germany :)
Vorsprung Durch Technik !! Heil Deutschland Brother, I am of German descent as well, I love all my Audis just like Doug.

Yea. Doug seems to be doing pretty well. :)
haha
I am from Brazil and my first language is Portuguese. I rewind the video to hear that value. LOL
You can tell how excited he is for this car. Congrats Doug.
His face is basically your profile picture
Seriously just listening to him I got happy, I don't even care for Audi let alone an audi from the 90's.
Just love how excited Doug is. A true car enthusiast
I've owned a '99 Audi Cabriolet and it's interior looks pretty the same as this RS2. Lovely to see how Doug talkes about this car. About the rareness: in whole Europe there are 15 up for sale
Doug: Wants parts for his RS2 Audi dealer: I like your funny words Magic Man
I laughed way too much at that.
Seriously he needs to start making some contacts with the local Audi tuning community. Especially 034 Motorsport.
I would try the Porsche dealer next. 😂
Next time: "Hello, XYZ Audi, I need parts for a 1994 Audi RS2." "Oh, hello Mr. DeMuro!"
And knowing Audi, those calls will be plentiful, lol
"I'm sorry Mr DeMuro, we've told you before this RS2 does not exist."
Doug, I've been watching your videos for about 6 months now and I just want to say I love how excited you get about this stuff, I see a lot of myself in that! I was born and raised in Brasil and my family immigrated to Canada in 1998. We didn't have much money growing up, but I always loved cars, all sorts of different cars, especially the weird ones. In 2007 my parents bought me a PS2 and it came with Gran Turismo 4, and I sank days and days into playing that game, and my love for cars grew to epic proportions. I knew I wanted to drive some of these cars one day, but I also knew money would be an issue. And so I began my academic journey. I busted my hump through high school and university, and although I was never the smartest, I worked very hard. I took the LSAT not once, but twice, and eventually landed a position at a great law school in Canada. Upon graduation, I got a great job at a law firm in Calgary, and for the first time in my life, I was making real money. And then I started feeling nostalgic over those long days and nights in my parents' tiny townhouse, playing Gran Turismo, and I thought to myself, I think I should finally get myself something that I'll love to drive. And so as of last months, I am officially the proud owner of a 2018 Audi S3. It is the nicest car I've ever owned (or anyone in my family has ever owned), and I felt the same excitement that you express when you review these cars - this was the moment where I finally understood. So in so many words, THANK YOU DOUG. Your videos are awesome, your genuine excitement is awesome, and just keep doing what you're doing!
Its just fun to see how happy and excited you are about your new car ;) Greetings from Germany and much fun with this awesome Car :)
If "there is no such car as an RS2" coming from an AUDI dealership, doesnt SCREAM America! i don't know what does..
Dealerships are a cancerous tumour in manufacturing sales tbh and I can't wait till we can buy from the manufacturer directly

Came across your video and I do feel for you, especially with the bit about the parts. I have a blue right hand drive one for the last 24 years. I think maybe 180 rhd's were made at the time. Parts were not easy to come by and I gave up on my local dealer a long time ago. The reason: all those that have worked on this car has left. A bit better than the excuses you got. At least they have heard of it. Thanks for taking the time to share. Your RS2 looks fantastic!
Your joy reminds me of when I finally got an E28 M5. Teenage dream car. I love your RS2 now want one. (PS having had a Jetta GLX with seat heaters which went to 5, all my family Audis always went to 6 so I figured they were demonstrating dominance over VW...aka "these go to 11.")
I really feel excited for Doug. It's easy to be excited about whatever Doug is excited about because he seems like such a genuine guy. The most genuine guy I've seen online. I feel like I'm vicariously living his life through his videos.
Man I follow your thinking
Same
The nineties, when the building quality of European and Asian cars was top notch.
Yes, my fav era for cars. I know it would be impossible, but it would be so cool if Doug reviewed a Toyota chaser😎

“So, is this an Audi or a Porsche?” “Well yes, but actually no.”

Congrats Doug! awesome car... always have wanted one but had to settle for a URS6. Enjoy it!
This video is worth watching! More of this, please!
You can see the emotion and passion with which this guy is describing his car. It is really contagious.

I really love your RS2, it's clearly one of the most well known cars audi ever made. I got myself an Audi 100 cs quattro avant with the 2226 ccm 5 zylinder engine and I absolutely love it. But your RS2 is the ultimate audi wagon. Greatings from Ingolstadt
As someone who will never really be in a position to have things like this, I enjoy seeing grown ups embrace their inner children.. Congratulations Doug.
Same here. I need to buy a house before I can buy a toy.
@Adon Smith spot on
You can tell how genuinely excited Doug is from his voice cracking like an overwhelmed teenager. Nice choice 👌!
I just fitted a clutch pressure plate and lightweight flywheel from one of these on my Volvo 5cyl turbo. Holds a ton of torque.
Congrats Doug....such a clean car, nice find. Here in Europe it is a legendary car most car nuts know, must be cool to have it in the US, where it must be less known
$70k on a 26-year-old wagon?!? Who do you think you are, Hoovies Garage?
Mein Gott!
I had to check your channel cause I thought you were the chocolate rain guy,,,, and you are!
honestly that seems cheap for this car
YOu dont know nothing about this car....
Who you you think YOU are, still relevant in 2020?
I drive an 07 a3 and it shares those heated seats dials. Love that tactile interaction and it's cool to see those design cues remain for nearly 20 years
Great automobile, Doug! Enjoy it!) You forgot to mention about fast station wagons that were built long ago before this one, I know there were not production cars, but considering how cool they were, it's worth mentioning. 1987 W124 AMG Hammer Wagon, with 6.0L V8 and 375hp. And also 1979 Mercedes-Benz 500 TE AMG with 5.0L V8 (Though the manufacturing history of the last one is not clear, if it was modified by AMG, or just some car enthusiast).
"The Audi dealer denied the existence of the car' RS2: The day i lost my identity
Audi Dealer: the day they lowered my cut
A dealership that doesn't know their brand's earlier models isn't very good at their job. Especially when it comes to an icon like the RS2. Shame!
@@_Viking likely just a nice lady who puts stuff into the computer. Can't expect her to know about models not in the country
*dealers
@@combatarmsmaniac Yes you can, especially when her only job is putting stuff in the computer she should know what shes doing.
Doug is slowly starting to become this generation‘s Jay Leno, and I love it.
I completely agree
He just need his sense of humor, and add the extended chin. There you go.😇😇
@@cjmarsh504 don’t forget the denim shirt and pants and he’s good 😂
@@Charlie-Charlot Let's not forget that!😂😂🤣🤣
don't forget Hoovie. I don't like his humor that much tho.
Very interesting history regarding Porsche's involvement with Audi that I did not know ! As always , an excellent video !
I owned some fun cars in my life like the iconic e46 m3 , e39 m5 , currently the 1m , but there is something special about the older Audis. I owned a 94 s4 and loved that thing , how it looked outside and especially inside and how it made me feel. So I can just imagine how much nicer this rs2 must feel like and how much more special since it’s that much more rare and better on every level than the urs4 was. One of the old cars that I would definitely love to own and not surprised Doug snatched one when he had the chance. Good work !
Doug the kind of guy to say “pretty boss” about owning an RS2 Avant
He’s been watching too much Michael Scott, pretty boss of him 😎
That thing is legendary!! In Europe it was the performance station wagon bench mark back in the day!
The equivalent saloon of the time was probably the Lotus Omega/Carlton; the getaway car of choice in the UK at the time because a 177 mph 4 door saloon was 'king ludicrous. Legend has it that one car was stolen 5 times in a row and outran the police chopper at least once.
was ? i think they still are
It was the first real performance station wagon to begin with. THISSSS is the car that started it all.
@@paulj5080 yeah the car got pulled out of a river a few years back now google 40 RA. i think that was the number plate of the car your talking about
Yes I agree, classic in Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa😉
There was an S2 avant at the same time which was really the base for this car, it had the same basic running gear, I have owned both models and they are both great the main difference was you have to work the RS due to the added lag on the turbo. They are pretty bullet proof the only real work I had to do on mine was a clutch replacement as the only way to get the quoted 0-60 you have to use the revs and drop the clutch. This is one car I regret selling, much more engaging than my current RS 4 which is full of pointless computer invasive crap some of which you can't turn off.
Hi Doug!! Congrats on the purchase of one of Europe's finest! Noticed the front seats have a seatback release catch - Porscke 911 seatbacks perhaps?
This guy could show me the quirks and features of a bicycle and I’d still watch.
You underestimate cycling I guess
I mean, bycicles are interesting tho... And it'd be cool if Doug actually did a tour of a bike made by a car company on his second channel. Like that $18k lamborghini bicycle.
But if you actually like cars this channel is 2x better
Yeah wished he did more house reviews
@@haziqhashim2618 Bikes can be pretty complex. Good, mid level ones can even go for 10 k for a road or mountain bike.
