It's all about size (especially with the 2005 models, where the A6 got wider).

Both cars are fantastic. The A6 is just bigger.

Ouch! that hurts. Actually it's not the 'A6' part that I'm dealing with. My 2 teenage daughters don't want to been seen in a 'station wagon'. ( '00 A6 Avant ) Too bad I can't impress them with an 'S'.

 

def, even if it aint s line, or sport packaged, u can always address a sway bar and better suspension. and the fact that the rs6 is based off an a6, u could trick alotta pplz

 

All these little kids with their A4s just can't afford a real car. (A6) When you put a set of lowering springs, new shocks, a new sway bar and some bigger rims. ( 18") you will have a car that not only looks hot but will carry you in the luxury you are accustomed too. Plus a Bose system that will blow your socks off. Pray for the Pope!

 

Hey easy there. I can afford an A6, I just choose not to.

 

Sorry. 2 teenage dtrs = no $ for mods.

 

HEY!!

I like the A6 for the added legroom, etc. Just feels right.

I know, I know - I drive an S4, but I'd go with a larger car at this point.

 

Get TT Roadster, this is the best choice in your age.

Man, obviously some of you have NEVER driven or let alone ridden in a 2.7T A6. I have an 01 2.7T A6 6Spd manual w/sport package (bolstered seats, 18"sway bars, 17"BBS, all standard) and that car will dust any stock A4 hands down (as well as the slug A6's, 3.0 and 2.8, and the 4.2 A6). I should also add that for you all that think that this is a big geezer car, the 01 A6 as stated above weights 66 lbs. LESS than an 04 S4 for instance (which my Dad drives). Check the numbes, 0-60 in 6.0 AND I don't jeapordize my fact. or extended warranties. A4's are pigs, just like 4.2's (other than S4's).

If you can afford it, find a manual 2.7T, the dealer where I found mine couldn't get rid of it bc it wasn't auto, so I stole it from em for $23K with 28K miles.

I tested a 225hp TT and the turbo lag was embarassing, let alone the fact that the thing is a death box.


P.S. I hold the S4 as the pinnacle (well the RS6 would be nice, but $90K?!?!?!) in driving performance, I just wish i could steal the recaro's off the rear of my dad's S4 and somehow retro fit them on the front of mine!

oh yeah, I just turned 25.
