I picked up my A6 Avant 1.9tdi 6speed yesterday and so far performance is superb, considering it's such a big car. Pick it up from cardiff and on the 100 mile journey home (part motorway, part A road) she was averaging 48.5 mpg, that's good enough for me. As for any comments saying that the 1.9 tdi is sluggish, I don't agree, this car would leave my Volvo V70 (170bhp) for dead. As far as I am concerned as long as she will cruise at 70 mph (ish) on the motorway and return nearly 50 mpg i'll be happy.
Very Pleased with it so far.
On other question, anyone know what the price of a load cover is to fit the above (2004 model), one of the lugs that holds the extended blind in place has broken.
Thanks
Nick
