Hi all,
Just joined up as I took delivery of my brand new A6 Avant 2.0 TDI Ultra S-Line S-Tronic on 8th June. Have immediately taken it on a trip to Brittany in France to test it out, and am enjoying it.
I have had a 2010 VW Phaeton for the past 5 years, but this is now getting a bit old at 130,000 miles, and starting to cost a bit both to run and repair so I felt it was time to move on. It's true that I'm missing some creature comforts from the Phaeton (air suspension, better stereo, reversing camera, and the space inside etc) but I'll get used to that. The Audi has technology in advance of the Phaeton in so many other respects, and I look forward to getting something better than the 25mpg I've been used to.
Previous to the Phaeton I had. Ford Mondeo 2.5T Titanium X, but the less said about that the better. Will never have another Ford is all I will say.
Prior to that I had a VW Passat W8 4.0 4WD, which was a lot of fun....hence my user name - my personal registration which has stayed with me ever since. Fun yes, but at 20mpg average over the 6 years I owned it, certainly not economical.
I'm looking forward to learning all about my new A6 and getting the best from it over the next 4 years or so. It seems to be a very well made and solid car, so I believe I've made the right choice to move on from the Phaeton now.
All the best,
Chris
