Hi all! I reached a point where I need the extra space of an Avant due to my outdoor activities... I will either trade in my new S3 or buy an A6 and keep the S3...
Got windsurf gear, surf gear, bicycle, etc and an A6 Avant would be good for that...
So here are my queries, hope you can help...
Model interesting me: A6 Avant S-Line
Doubts:
1 - 2.7TDI vs 3.0TDI (pros and cons)
2 - Is the quattro available on the 2.7?
3 - Is the 2.7 enough to make the A6 not feel to heavy?
4 - Any suggestions/advice in terms of optional equipment to get?
My base spec would be: Sat Nav, electric seats, folding mirrors, BOSE, through load capacity, 19' BBS wheels, leather interior, interior light pack, audi parking system, tyre pressure monitor, sunroof, alluminium inlays, black headlining, MMI plus with CD changer, Xenon plus with adaptative light...
I'm just concerned that with all the spec, the sport equipment the 180bhp would not be enough... but it's a good extra £5000 to get the 3.0TDI (so would it be worth it?) Also as I'm planning to do a bit more mileage now is the 3.0TDI real economic or should I consider petrol as the TDI is not exactly economical...
I had a look in the E-Class Station (but new model to be introduced soon), 5-Series BMW (nice, but extras and also age are putting me off..) Don't have many more options do I?
I would appreciate your help guys
