Hello,
This is my first post here. I have ordered a new A6 2.7 TDI Avant, and it is being built in February for a March delivery.
Over the last few days, I have been wondering whether I should upgrade the car. I've checked with my dealer, and I can do this. So, I'm hoping someone here can give me some clues on the following:-
1) Is it worth going for the 3.0 quattro? I know it's more powerful, but I am not convinced the extra power and handling is worth the trade off in economy. If anyone has a quattro, what do they think of the drive over time? Is it better than the two wheel drive I'd get from the 2.7?
ALso, does the 4wd significantly improve braking?
2) Are the adaptive Xenon lights worth it, or just a gimmic? Do they help on windy roads? Are they easy to use?
Many thanks for your help.
