Gents,

The quest for a new car begins!!!

I have a 2.0 S line Multi booked for next Friday and Saturday and hopefully a 5 Series and XF in the following weeks.

After two new Audi's it will be difficult to leave the brand but the opposition is looking attractive and a move back to BMW after a 6 year absence is a strong possibility.

It has been great keeping an eye over here having migrated from the A4 B8 side and some useful info gained.

I will keep you posted as to thoughts

i really wanted a 535d. drove several 5 series, just didnt relax into any of them and found ride disappointing. Felt at home in the A6s immediately. Never looked at the xf as i wanted an estate.
happy hunting.

Tried the A6, BMW and Merc E220 myself.
Disappointed with the 5 series, really expected more after reading up on it
Drive a 4 year old 320 at the moment and it just felt so much more comfortable when I got back into it
E220 looks nice but doesn't drive so well.
Really enjoyed the A6 though. Comfortable and a good array of standard features.
Suppose it's all a matter of opinion.
Enjoy

Tried the A6, BMW and Merc E220 myself.

Ditto. The Merc felt very woolly, and the BMW seemed basic inside compared with the A6. I now have my fourth A6 and fifth Audi :)

I thought the 520d was great to drive, but no greater than the A6. What swayed my decision away from the BMW was the bland dashboard, questionable looks from the front and the worry about it being undriveable when it snows.

When does your A6 test drive begin?

I thought that the XF 3.0 diesel was the best car to drive but seemed dated in its styling. its been updated since. The 5 series was disappointing in the ride and steering dept, and I did not like having no spare wheel. I was expecting the 5 series to blow me away, but no. The A7 was a looker, and drive as well as the 5 series and I am an Audi fan so that was an easy decision.
