Audi A6 Saloon (2004 - 2011) 3.0 TDi Quattro Le Mans 4d Tip Auto (2007/56) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Looking for a fast car, but don't want the attention that BMW would draw.

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

Lovely car, shame to see it go.

Would you buy this car again and why?

No - too expensive in tyres - went through two sets in the year at £1000/set!

What are you likely to buy next?

Volvo XC70.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£19,000

When did you buy the car?

December 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

Reasonable trade-in value on my previous Audi.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Large engine cars became very affordable on the used car market.

What was the dealer like?

Ok. A little difficult to deal with, but delivery options were very flexible.

What's it like to drive?

Handles fantastically - great round corners. It does feel fidgety on anything but an A road though. Feels great at speed - but starts to feel very light at 140mph+.

What's it like to park?

I'm informed by my wife it is difficult as the body width is hard to judge and the alloys are very exposed.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Tracking permanently goes as the tyres are very low profile and the suspension is stiff. Also, the xenon headlights had a judder on them - very irritating when driving.

What's most practical about your car?

Four-wheel drive.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Digital television and rear parking camera.
