Q about A6 Avant 2.5tdi quattro Sport
Discussion
I got an A6 avant for similar reasons - I went for the 1.9tdi in the end as the 2.5 just felt too heavy and didn't seem to offer much of a real world performance advantage - esp with an auto box. Also, kids, new mortgage etc meant that I really had to watch the ol' bank balance.
Bottom line is it is good as a family wagon. Really well made, good milage (I get 600+ to a tank
), adequate mway performance, good cruiser, big, practical, reasonable servicing costs and the one I got come loaded with leather, sat nav, bose etc. A safe & sensible choice.
But I have never owned a car thats so uninspiring as a drivers car - I have never once come off the mway in order to take the twisty route home. Admittedly, its not designed as that sort of car, but seeing as I cannot afford to run a barge during the week and have a toy in the garage, I persoanlly need a car that can raise my pulse at least once in a while.
It will be gone before the end of the year me thinks...
As a final point Audi dealers have been the worst I've come across by a long way (BMW, VW, Renault, Mazda, Merc).
To sum up - good but boring. But that's only my opinion

Well the 180 2.5TDI QUATTRO SPORT is certainly a lot more fun than most other Audis (excepting the RS range of course) - and is surprisingly chuckable into bends and roundabouts... A hell of a lot more fun than the A3 1.8t sport we've also got...
Never going to equal the 'weekend' Chimaera for fun but still a decent car (I do 600 miles a week in mine)
