Hi,

Just run in my third A6 Avant, this time a new A6 Avant BiTDi, and loving it. Even acceptable to the missus, unlike the Macan I tried.

I hope that this forum is more active than some others that purport to be for Audi owners. Registered on the .co.uk site and the Mary Celeste was probably more active and tried twice to join the group on Facebook, and nothing.

Any other BiTDi owners on here?

Hi Ian, welcome to the club.

 

Sounds like a nice A6 you have there. Perhaps post some pictures up  :)

 

Out of interest, how did you find the Macan?

I thought the Macan as good as all the press said, good handling, nicely finished (almost as good as an Audi  ;)) and good engines. The TDi was a little ho-hum for me, probably as it was the same engine as I had in my Audi of that time, but the petrol (non turbo) engine was very enjoyable. However, Audi have nothing on Porsche for a full and pricey options list. I got to £70K on the non-turbo petrol without trying, very similar options on the BiTDi coming to a lot less. Being a high riding SUV there was enough lift and dive under acceleration and braking to cause my 19 yr old to be slightly travel sick, something he is not normally prone to. Hence the BiTDi.

Pics of the BiTDi to follow once I have washed it  :P

Fair enough. Admittedly I've never tried to spec up a Porsche with options but I can imagine it becomes eye watering rather quickly!
