B5 A4 1.8 TQ Avant vs B6 A4 1.8 TQ Avant ??
Well, whats the consensus.......is the B6 1.8 TQ Avant significantly better than the B5, or is the B5 still the 'drivers choice'?

Hmmm...
I guess it would depend on how soon you want to do engine mods. I love the B5 (obviously) but feel the B6 is a superior automobile, and with a bit of work can be quite stunning.

Personally...
I think the B5 is a *much* better looking car, an absolute classic design, both in sedan and avant form. Current Audi styling (across the board) leaves much to be desired IMHO.
I also think the B5 interior instrumentation is better - plus you get an oil temp gauge. The B5 chassis is also a bit lighter, but apparently the B6 is much stiffer, so I would think the handling is improved.
Having said all that, I haven't driven a B6 yet, but they're supposedly a very good platform to start with if you can get past the exterior.
