Default Thinking of buying an Audi RS6

So I am in the research stage trying to decide if an RS6 is right for me. I understand there are common problems with the shock absorbers (DRS?) What other items should I watch out for?

How much can I expect to spend on routine maintenance? Should I decide to maintain the car myself, how serviceable are these cars? I am assuming that insurance is not cheap what should I expect to pay?

Any comments and experiences are greatly appreciated.

I have to agree. The later costs with this car are very high . Maintenance will cost you around 200-300$ every time (fuel filters, service). The insurance is around 200 $ every month. However the car itself is one of my prefered models . The engine and design are awesome.

It's good to see the negative aspects as well.

Anyway, looks like I won't consider this model either as I'm looking for something that's fuel cost efficient and that won't give me much troubles with costs later on. I already have gas prices to worry about, I don't want to spend more money trying to get the car to function properly lol.
