Tom2741 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Hi all, My names Tom. I've been a bit of a jap geek since I started driving, always having civic's etc, and now a pretty sorted evo. My current daily grind is an old school diesel golf estate. It has done me proud over the last few years but I've decided that once I get home from my current tour of duty in the middle east it's time for it to retire. To that end the mrs and I set some criteria for the next car. It had to be an estate (to fit our huge German Shepherd in), deisel, fairly luxurious and to have a towing capacity high enough to tow our evo to tracks around the coutry. Only 2 cars really fitted the bill,being the bmw 5 series and the a6. Every review I read generally says the a6 is good but the 5 series is nicer to drive. However, we both prefer the look of the audi,so when I was on R&R a few weeks ago I booked a test drive at our local audi garage. We both agreed that we would be more than happy with the way the a6 drove so it's decided. Now, coming from a jap background I havn't really a clue what I'm looking at when buying a german car. Sooo, any buying advise on an a6 avant 3.0tdi quattro would be much appretiated. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
