Distinctions - The feature suite for the Hot Wheels ‘94 Audi Avant RS2 consists simply of two points; a concise and aesthetically pleasing form and the ability to roll smoothly and consistently in a straight line. However, this is more than enough for most kids looking to play or the average collector looking for a scale model.

Criticisms - The nature of a 1/64 scale makes finer details harder to consistently print and paint, so not all details will be 1:1. The Hot Wheels ‘94 Audi Avant RS2 maintains proportions fairly well, though some dimensions will not be true to the full size model, with a noticeable lack of detail around elements like lights and intakes that break up the silver monotony.

Distinctions - Die-cast material is durable, maintaining proportions with wear and environment. Print colors in the Hot Wheels ‘94 Audi Avant RS2 have a shiny metallic luster reminiscent of the original, while axles and wheels provide low-friction rolling for speed through tracks and on a variety of surfaces.

Criticisms - Prints have some bleed, with edges often blurring on smaller, more precise decals. Paint protective coating is thin, with notable blemishes appearing after light use, particularly due to the large amount of flat surfaces incorporated in the design of the Hot Wheels ‘94 Audi Avant RS2. Die-cast, while more durable than some plastic elements, is fairly thin, with breakage possible under concentrated pressure from even human weight.

Distinctions - The Hot Wheels ‘94 Audi Avant RS2 captures all of the major points of its full-scale inspiration with no excess. While the design may be less than over-stimulating, the adherence to the original design does capture the elegant simplicity Audi intended with much of the Avant line. Seeing the focus on performance over flashy styling translated to the Hot Wheels ‘94 Audi Avant RS2 is emblematic of Mattel still having their finger on the pulse of the automotive world.

Criticisms - Print bleeding and piece quality of wheels and tires prevent the Hot Wheels ‘94 Audi Avant RS2 from being truly 1:1. A distinct lack of fine details on a primarily monochromatic vehicle takes away from some of the character that most associate with the full-size.

Distinctions - The Hot Wheels ‘94 Audi Avant RS2 is generally fairly sustainable, being composed of fairly recyclable parts accentuated by relatively strong durability with normal and expected use. Combine this with a considerably active secondhand market for collectors and hobbyists, and the car’s lifespan is fairly predictably sustainable.

Criticisms - Plastic and die-cast components are not as durable as real-life materials. Similarly, axle damage can render the entire Hot Wheels ‘94 Audi Avant RS2 inoperable for play or display.

Distinctions - Hot Wheels ubiquity makes finding accessories like track or trick pieces, whether Hot Wheels branded or not, incredibly easy. The low up-front cost makes it incredibly accessible to almost any demographic. In addition, representation of more specific/niche vehicles like the Hot Wheels ‘94 Audi Avant RS2 are few and far between from other manufacturers, making, albeit by default, Hot Wheels the go-to.

Criticisms - Larger scale models may offer more accurate and detailed representations of the Hot Wheels ‘94 Audi Avant RS2 that would better befit the picky or particularly discerning collector.
