What is MT6 by the way?

Also I would go for the 2.8 unless you want the extra speed of the 2.7T. Everyone is right when they say the 2.8 is more reliable. With the 2.7T you can run into more issues.

 

mt6 is just slang for a 6 speed manual transmission. 2.8 is reliable but sometimes, no, all the time I wish it had more power... but hey, thats what mods are for right!

 

MT6 = 6 speed manual. That's the beauty of the 2.7t, if you love to row a manual, and you're sold on the room of the A6, you get the fun of the turbos as well.....

I had $17k and picked up my A6 with ~50k, and have not looked back. Great car! Need the financial markets to smooth out at year end so that I can start adding more speed....
