Summary
What does this car say about you?
What this says about me is I needed an estate car, I am going to spend 600 miles a week and 7 hours in it and I wanted to be comfortable. It was a better deal than the A4 Avant.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Generally they like it.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes I would buy this car again. It's a dream to drive. Three things that Audi can do to make it better 1)Put the dip stick back in the engine. Software is only as good as the programmer. 2)C'mon, folding mirrors should be standard. 3)MPG is good. Just not 61+.
What are you likely to buy next?
Octavia Estate 2.0.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
I had an A3 Sportback before. The A6 is comfortable. The driving modes make it feel like 3 different cars. Gear transition in economy mode could be better. Fuel consumption in economy mode is the same as comfort mode, or looks to be after 2000 miles. Takes corners well. Loves long drives on dual carriageways.
What's it like to park?
Easier to park than I thought it would be. Parking sensors in the front included and essential. Still, additional optional extras like advanced park should be standard at this level. Yes, not as easy to get into every supermarket space as the previous car was.

No faults.
What's most practical about your car?
Acres of space. Most comfortable car that I've driven and owned.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Lots of toys as standard. Quiet to drive. I like the driver information display.
