Default Now a closer call than ever: A4 Avant or an A6 Avant?

Still about $5,000 (MSRP) difference, priced the way I'd buy either one, that's not insignificant. A4 may be more fun to drive, but A6 may give me some more room to grow with my two kids... and not a bad ride either. I'm stumped. I won't be shopping for a few months, but would be interested to hear opinions.

Are you talking about 2009 A4 vs. leftover 2008 A6 Avants?

I'd be waiting for the 2009 A6 - I probably have old pricing info...

Default The biggest negative for the A6 is going to be fuel economy...

Now a TDI A6 Avant... that'd be a nice piece. It'd also be $65k probably :-(

A6 avant is a great family car. My wife's car is a 1999 model that we got used. The new ones are very expensive IIRC, big price jump from an A6 sedan to an A6 avant. (not that an A6 sedan is inexpensive.)

Default A4 for handling, and A6 for space.

With the facelift, the A6 may even surprise you with improved handling over the 08s. The 3.0 TFSI looks very interesting.
