Arrange to take this for a drive at Lincoln Audi assuming you're not far away http://usedcars.m.audi.co.uk/vehicle.aspx?wflw=se_nm_ve_vi&ctr=34712&vhl=605441498&srcmdc=se_nm_re_
Can Audi UK not help you find one at the closest dealership possible?
Might be worth trying an A6 as a few more about - a little difference between them but engines obviously fairly similar.
Only downside to going for a 3.0 TDI is you'll never go back to a 2.0 TDI again :D
Interesting comment on the engines - I tend to find BMW squeeze a little more performance and economy in comparison to the equivalent VAG engines.
Having owned a 3.0 TDI of both, the Audi V6 is more linear in its power delivery and makes a nicer noise than the straight six of the BM.
Aren't the majority of BMs auto now as well but that is a big price difference.
Just wish they would hurry up and put X-Drive on the 5 Series Touring. Would be tempted away to the dark side again I admit.
To be fair you're probably right as it wasn't the longest of test drives and the car was running on fumes.
I'm sure I'd get used to it with time. I think I'd be keener on a tip box from a reliability perspective.
I must admit I'm very unsure on the auto boxes. I have a 3.0 TDI B8 with manual box and it's nice to be able to get that extra performance when you want it as much as you want it.
I drove a 245bhp S-Tronic A6 Avant recently and wasn't overly that impressed. Driving at 50mph and the gearbox was...
I had a courtesy car from Stafford Audi 2 weeks ago...I was hoping it was going to be a B9 when they told me it was an A4 and there was one ready to go when I arrived on the forecourt but sadly it was a 65 Plate B8 Black Ed. demo....boo :(
I'm warming to the Avant somewhat now but still think the saloon is fugly! Maybe it'll be a grower too or perhaps the replacement Sepang Blue will fix it rather than the yacky gold bronze colours they are promoting in.
