Default B5 vs. B6

So, I'm in the market for an A4, and I've heard a lot of good things about both the B5 and the B6.

Now this is my question, asides from weight, what exactly are the pros and cons of each model?

Before you get verbally abused like I did when I was asking questions like that, you should hit the search tab at the screen. Quick! Before these guys strip you down to nothing but a shameful puddle of self loathing!!

But to answer your questions, I don't know. Other than the B6 looks a million times better and has more stock power.

B6: more stock hp and its sides are slabs with little lumps for fender flares and ungodly sized lowers that are unpainted (paint them! Do it!)

B5: better weight distribution and a smaller, more cramped back seat. Also, to the untrained eye a 2001 B5 looks just like a 1997 B5 so, your car looks older than it is (might be)

or for those of us with the older b5's it makes your car look newer than it is (might be)....

shut up noob


the decesion is really yours, the b5 will be cheaper because of age, but it will also have more miles and wear and tear
if you are lucky you can still find a b6 with a warrenty, or get a cpo car

Yeah, next you need to do a mirror swap, it looks like your passenger mirror can't get it up! roffle/jk. Shrunken door mirrors are goofy looking!
