Default Thinking of trading my B6 S4 for an A6.

I am thinking of trading my B6 S4 for an A6. Has anyone done so or had similar thoughts?

Probably a slightly used 2006.

Somehow I knew I wouldn't get the best answers with this post.

Default A6 is a totally different car..

if you need it for space, buy it.. If you want it for performance, don't.

I just think A6's are in another category from the S, hard to compare/contrast the 2.

Default Don't do it. I went from the best A6 (an 04 4.2 sport) to a B6S4 and

while I really liked the A6, I would never ever go back after owning and driving an S4. Both are great cars, but they're not even comparable. The A6 is a very nice, comfortable, reasonably quick large sedan. If that's what you really want, go for it. But if you think it's truly a sport sedan, you're fooling yourself. I would only go A6 if I really, really needed a large back seat. There is no other reason to buy that car over an S4.

Default This is a consideration for me...

...I'll need to see what the B8 S4 will look like, but one of my biggest complaints about my S4 is the small interior -- it's nice to have some space -- just a preference of mine.

The A6 4.2 is not "S" tuned, so I would never expect it to hold a candle to the S4 -- but it is still a very nice car -- quick, good styling, comfortable, etc.

With the right color and S-line package, it can look pretty sharp.

My S4 is completely stock -- I'm not really into the customization thing & racing -- so I guess I try to find a car that fits me...
