Hi guy's i am pondering over buying an a4 98 model avant 2.5 tdi quattro. What are the pro's and cons over my current a3 99 tdi (mapped)
 
The main difference you will find is the way the quattro grips ! They are heavy cars(1500Kg+) and the gearing is a bit weird (long first and 2nd gear) but you will love the relentless pull once the car is at 30-40Mph and when overtaking at high speed on motorways. Another thing that will shock you is the fuel consumption....Other than that is maintenance as ussual bar a very expensive cambelt job and potential injector pump problems !
 
Show me a v6 petrol wich does 45Mpg on the motorway ! People think just because its a diesel it has to be ecconomical as well ?! You buy a v6 diesel for refinement and grunt and because you're a cheapskate(like me!) who cannot live with 20+ Mpg a s4 achieves ! If you want fuel ecconomy, keep the a3 !
