I'm thinking about going back to an estate car again having no need for my van anymore and was wondering what people think is the best combination of engine/gearbox spec?
The car will be doing the normal bits of commuting and journeys around the local area with a few longer UK runs and probably a couple of longer European road trips carrying 3-4 people along with their kit and bikes.
I'm hoping to find the best balance of decent performance and fuel economy, pretty much the moon on a stick! Current thinking that the 2.0 diesel would be perfect for the bigger trips and possibly with an auto box to make it nice and easy. No idea about performance of the diesel models but I'm not exactly expecting blistering performance but at the same time don't want something with the pace of an asthmatic pensioner.
Am I correct in thinking that there are two different auto boxes fitted to the A4? If do, is there one in particular to avoid?
