Audi A6 Avant (2011 - 2018) 2.0 TDI S Line 5d (2011/61) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I don't mind what people think of the car I drive - I buy it for my circumstances only. However, I hope it states practicality with exceptional quality - along with good taste!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

My neighbour loved it - and went out and bought one (although he plumped for the SE and has since regretted that and has rectified the situation with a recent order of the S-Line). My friends and family love it also - but it's not to everyone's taste (it's size is a put-off for a lot of people).

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes - providing my wife gets the confidence to drive it (without getting an HGV licence!!). For me, it is without doubt, the best car I have owned.

What are you likely to buy next?

I have just ordered the new A3 Saloon - due to collect in Sep 14 - but it's 6 month waiting list is a pain. Still, I get to drive my A6 for a while longer!

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£26,000

When did you buy the car?

October 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

Great deal with both Audi UK & my local Audi group.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Great deal when part-ex'ing my Audi A4.

What was the dealer like?

I had a great buying experience with Essex Audi previously (with my Audi A4) and was keen to capitalise on another with the launch of the revised A6.

What's it like to drive?

Probably the best car I have driven to date - it is an absolute dream and ALWAYS puts a smile on my face...

What's it like to park?

It's easy to park thanks to the standard fit of the parking plus - however, it's not easy to get a space big enough for the car to fit in!!! Thankfully the car is very frugal on fuel so you won't mind trawling every car park for a suitable space.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Only a slight issue with one of two electrical CAMs situated in the rear which caused multiple failures and the car to shut down. Put right within a few hours by Audi direct - but not a great start (this was within the first week). I had quality issues with a few minor parts - again, rectified quickly with Audi.

What's most practical about your car?

Space and the huge boot!!
