Default 2000 was the first year for the 2.7T.

I personally think that the 2.7T is the reason that the A6 has scored as badly as it has with CR for the past few years. Before 2000, the A6 was one of CR's recommended vehicles because reliability was average or better than average. If it weren't for the 2.7T version of the current A6, this would still be the case.

Maybe so... but S4 is quite a bit faster. Can you explain that?

Also, the 0 - 60 time is 5.9 on the a6 2.7 and something like 5.4 or 5.5 on the s4...not too much of a difference.

At that point...it's ALL driver.

Default If that's true... I stand corrected. I had no idea A6 2.7T could do 0-60 in 5.9 sec.

Still sounds far-fetched to me. I thought the Allroad 2.7T does 0-60 in something like 8 seconds.

The Allroad is much heavier than an A6. Nearly 4200lbs.
