Hello,

I will soon purchase my first Audi and was wondering if anyone could help me understand the main differences between the 3.0 - A6 and A4 sedans?

Thank you,

 

We test drove an A4 before deciding to purchase an A6. We had our kids in the back at the time. The problem with the A4 was that there was not much leg room for them and we were getting constant whining from them. We decided that the A6 was a better bet for this reason:- heaps of room in the back.

If you've got kids, especially older ones, I would recommend the A6.

 

If you have kids or will have kids, you'll need the size of the A6. I wanted an A3 actually, but ended up w/the A6 because of my son.

The 3 and 4 are just not big enough.

 

I drive an A6, but my best friend has a 2004 A4 ultrasport... which I sometimes borrow ) I love mine - that's why I bought it. But objectively, for handling, or rather, the way YOU feel the car, the smaller you go, the better it feels - more nimble, lighter. If you're into adrenaline, get A4, if you're into highway cruising and covering long distances in short amounts of time - A6 is your car, mon ami.
FACTS

 

Thank you to all of you that responded to my question.

I think we will need to purchase the A6 due to the comfort of the ride.

Our kids are gown, so that will not be a problem, but I will need to drive almost 6 hours from my home to the office for a weekly meeting and 6 hours in the opposite direction when we visit family, so my wife and I could be spending quite a bit of time behind the wheel and a comfortable ride will be a priority.

The A6 it is.
