Go for an A4, I've always seen old people in A6's.

Hope that didn't offend anyone! <ducks>

 

I was just in a very similar situation to you and I decided to go with the a6. Drove a 2003 a4 1.8t and the car was just plain slow. Then I found a 2001 a6 2.7T with a 6 speed and sport package. The car was pretty quick and has lots of interior room. Paid 23k for the a6 with taxes and fees and so far I am very happy with the purchase. I probably would have went for the a4 if it was faster, but it just didn't do it for me. Hope that helps.

 

Thats not nice, jestnomen. I think i look pretty hot in my 03 A6 2.7t.

lol, i've only seen seniors in A6s too, but whatever.

I would swing for the A4 if you're looking to have a little more fun in your car. the luxury is by no means dissapointing, but the bar is obviously steped up for the A6. the A4 is a well rounded car, comfortable and fun. The A6 takes the fun factor down a bit, and rases the comfort. if you're the typical 21 year old guy... i think you'll be MUCH happier in the A4, though all the pretty buttons in the A6 will definatly entertain you for about a week.

 

If you're 21 and single, I would go with an A4. It's more of a sports car and you will have a lot of fun with it. Whatever you do, get one with Quattro. I almost made the mistake with not going with a Quattro. Test drive them and make your choice. I have an A6, but I love space and luxury look.

 

im 20 and im getting an a6 ina month or 2, get the a6, but make sure its 6 speed

but it is really all preference....both are nice cars, do u prefer sports luxury sedan or sport compact sedan, if ur a bigger person, u dont wanna squeeze into an a4 every mornin goin to work, thats why i prefer the a6, im 6'2, 220 pounds and wanted an s4, but lets be realistic...

a6 with the s4 engine...best compromise...

 

Hmmmm i mean to be honest i think a6 is obv better than a4, pimped out a6s look tiiiight.
Idk im very confused on what to do i think best option would be dealer for warranty though
thnx for the help and keep em comin [:-]

 

True oldsters drive ugo Buicks or toaster Camrys. I appreciate the increased driver space of the A6 over the A4, and the other old folks who hang around with me and mine like the comfort of the bigger back passenger area.

 

I guess I fall into that "old guy" status (30). I love my A6, sold my turbo Eclipse to get it. I too was looking to get an S4, but being 6'2" and having a baby seat to put in the back had to opt for the bigger car.

If your worried about the A6 being too big, stop! Like I said, got rid of a pretty tricked out Eclipse, the handling of the A6 is almost spot on, a little more body roll ect., but it doesn't feel big. Try to get one with the sport package as it cures some of the body roll present in non-sport A6's. Hope this helps out and good luck with what ever choise you make....both are great cars.
