Daily Driver - Audi A6 Avant
« on: 23-Sep-2008, 11:05:41 »
Since i have to drive a lot more to get to work i decided to buy a bigger car with already a lot of km's on the clock in good condition. i bought this fully equipped Audi A6 Avant from a friend which originally bought it brand new for its company.

Audi A6 Avant quattro
2.8l engine
full leather
1999 model

I've forgot to shoot a real custom shot but i guess the copy of the papers is fine too  ;)






the car really has a lot of space. the people sitting behind me still have a lot of space for their legs. the ride is pretty comfortable even after long rides. the original radio was crap so i've changed it with a newer one where i can use an usb stick. i'm tired to burn cd's...

but actually i'm thinking about a change to a diesel which makes more sense if you're driving about 800km's a week. the audi needs about 10,5l/100km instead of 5 with a diesel... we'll see..

Nice adquisition!!!  you must do lot of road cause my little getz drinks 10 liters in the city... always pushing down of course, but still is a nice consumption for a 2.8 engine!!!

Congratulations dude !!

Those seats look really comfortable!

The 2.8 V6 is not really a good choice for an every-day car... especially with 800km done every week. A diesel makes much more sense that's for sure :) Is this the 170hp version of the engine, also on Matteo's A4 2.8 V6? my dad's Passat uses the 193hp version and it feels a bit too lazy when you want to rev it... but on the other hand is very relaxing to drive in low-revs :)

it's the 193hp version. for sure the car is no racer and needs it's time to get speed but since i'm driving most of the km's on the speedway i don't care. safety and comfort are more important in this case. i first thought about buying an RS6 since the prices went down but the fuel consumption is too high for daily use with so much km's a day. so i went for the rational variant.

few weeks ago i drove with a friends BMW 528, same year then the audi, down to italy. fuel consumption is much better from BMW, had an average of 7,4 liters... for sure the quattro needs a bit more but not that much...

but i'm pretty sure i'll change to a diesel soon, guess you'll see soon pics from a diesel engined cars in here  :D

Nice car mate....

I have owned 5 of that A6 my self.
Bouth the 2.5 tdi and 2.7 Bi-Turbo.

Very nice cars with extreme comfort to eat miles  :good:

Good Luck looking for a diesel A6.
Watch out for the v6 2.5 TDI. Thats a very crapy engine.
Very expensive to maintaine an service.  :bad:
