What's the average age of an A6/A7 driver?

Age Car

18 Vauxhall Viva - Grandma's old car
19 2nd Vauxhall Viva - blew the first one up with over revving - after tuning the tappets very well!
23 Daihatsu Charade GTti - fantastic three pot mental
25 TVR Chimeara - lovely V8
29 TVR Tuscan - mistake, but fast
30 Jaguar X-Type 3.0 4WD - big big big mistake - great car just broke down a lot and expensively, did get to 114,000 miles though in 4.5 years
35 Lexus RX400h - hybrid was cool then (2006)
38 Another Lexus RX400h - end of model absolute bargain VAT 15% (2009)
38 Toyota Hilux Invincible in Red (in addition to Lex) - thought I might need to go to the North Pole - harsh winters meant I was nearly right! (Sold 3 years later for £3000 less than I paid - amazing)
41 Audi A7 on order

That list makes me look a bit like a petrol head, which I guess is true, I wouldn't be buying the A7 without the Bi-Turbo diesel engine!

Ooh A1. Are they any good, was thinking about one for the wife...

Got a 1.4 sport for my daughter. Brilliant little car, almost identical MMI etc. as my A6, 45 mpg ave. Got it on a lease for £200 per month over 3 years with 5 years servicing included. Fantastic value and highly recommended.

This will be 1st Audi ever when I take delivery in the summer, 18 cars previous and none wore the 4 rings! The new C7 really stood out to me and it replaces a 4yr old Range Rover Sport which I am unhappy about running out of warranty. The Audi is a massive step up in build quality with a very premium feel, I hope it does not disappoint.

I will be 33 when I collect BTW

Glad you said that. I was thinking about a range rover sport, but it just felt cheap!!! Can't believe I'm saying that.

Regarding the RRS, the post 09 models are better but still not up to Audi standards, I had a late 08 model and a host of niggling issues fixed under warranty. Still a great car, the TDV8 is a peach....but the Audi will be much cheaper to run overall and I like to change every now and again.

I agree with you there, the facelifted sport is a bit better but not quite up to it.

I have the same problem, I like to change cars often for something fresh. I had my last Audi 18 months and this one is heading for about 4. First time I have two cars of the same brand in a row. However I think I have already eyed up my next car, the BMW 6 Gran Coupé.

I'm just about to move my previous gen 6 series on when my A6 arrives. My wife and I looked at the new 6 series Coupe and it's a stunning car indeed. If it wasn't for the need of more load space and seats then I'd have snapped one up on the incredible lease deal BMW were offering. The Gran Coupe version is growing on me too.

I got a chance to see the new gran coupe and I love it, and it's got a relatively large boot. Feels so much better than the 7 series inside. Although twice the price of my a6. That's the only down side, but defo eyed it up as my next purchase.

Just pick one up in a year or two. The 6 series has always been a horrific one for depreciation. Someone paid nearly £70k for my car. I bought it for well under half that at 2.5 years old!
