Evening All...

I'm trying to decide which new company car to go for and i'm going insane trying to make my mind up, so i thought i'd turn to you guys for some helpful advice, or just a simple vote!

I've narrowed it down to three, which are;

Audi A4 2.0 TDi (140) SE
Audi A6 2.0 TDi (170) S-line Special Edition
BMW 520d SE

With my company policy i have to pay an upgrade fee of £50 a month on the A6 and 520 but that's not too much of a drama, and i need to fund any options myself apart from metallic paint.
The A6 is fully spec'd with leather, satnav, bluetooth, MMI, bose, xenons etc, and looks awesome, but it gets replaced with a new model in 2011...
The 520 comes with leather, bluetooth & iDrive as standard, and of course RWD, but is a bit dull to behold...
The A4 has a pretty basic spec but is much cheaper on tax...

What do you all reckon?

Cheers

I've driven the new 5 series BMW (albeit was the 530) and it was fantastic - corners really, really well and looks great. 520 though, dont know.
The A6 is also a great car, but maybe a bit underpowered??

I got my A4 TDIe technik 3 weeks ago and it's great, to as quick as the others but leather, sat nav and parking sensors front and back, 55mpg..............and the tax is really low thanks to the 120g/km emissions.

Why not the A4 S Line 170 TDi rather than the A6 S Line 170TDi. I'm not just suggesting it because thats what I drive (although, for what its worth, I'm really pleased with my car), the current A4 is a more recent release than the current A6, its smaller (so therefore lighter, faster, more economical and emits less CO2) and with the 170 TDi engine its reasonably rapid and light on tax (mine is a company car too). It just seems strange (to me) that you would consider the A6 S Line but not the A4???

At the end of the day though its entirely up to you - great choice to have to make.

Choose carefully and enjoy!

I would agree with the others A6 would be my choice only because audi have toned down their new models eg the A8 which looks like a big a4 and the only problem I have is not enough room in the boot which is making me think to down badge to a to of the range passat or honda for the same money. Anyway nice choice to have ! Damo

I've put pay to that draw! I would go for A6, really is very nice in s-line guise.

BMW probably a very good drive and engine but by heck it's ugly :)

Given the choice, I would (and did) opt for the A6. My TDi 170 feels quite quick (I had an A4 1.8T courtesy car yesterday and it felt quite slow in comparison), and the A6 now comes with a lot of standard kit.
