I've just gone from a 2003 A4 Avant SE 2.0 FSI Multitronic to a 2006
A6 Avant SE 2.0T FSI Multitronic. The A4 was more economical (I got 32
mpg compared with 28 mpg now), and was a more nimble car, however as I
do a lot of motorway driving the A6 is more than up to the job. It
wafts me up and down the M40 with ease, and although it doesn't feel
fast I often find that my actual speed is far faster than it felt.
The rear leg room, and extra toys as standard (like the MMI system)
are what swung the decision for me, and so far I've no reason to
regret the decision.
