That is because the 2.0 litre is perfectly adequate for most people for most driving. 

If a 3 litre will do 40 mpg, I would expect the 2.0 litre to do 50+. 

0-60 in 8.2 seconds for the 190PS Ultra is not slow but it does very much depend on where you're coming from.

You will always enjoy the fuel economy of the 2-litre, so think carefully how often you will use the extra performance of the 3-litre.

Fair point. I think that highlights my dilemma - heart says 3 litre, head says 2 litre! 

Thanks Guys. Appreciate your thoughts. Hard to believe how many 2 litre A6 Avants are out they compared to the 3 litre! 

Hi, I am looking for an A6 Avant (2015-2017) car. Mainly used for commuting (100 miles per day - 90% motorway), plus the odd family day trip here and there. 

Really like the 272/315 3 litre quattro, but would like to know your thoughts, as they are a rare beast and obviously demand a premium over the 2 litre quattro. Question is: given the mileage per day (3 days per week) would you be going for the 2 litre and enjoying the MPG, or would you go for the 3 litre and enjoy it(!)? 2 litre sounds a tad too slow, but not driven one.

Will the 272/315 still be able to do 40+MPG on the motorway, cruising at 70?

Thanks
