Why is YOUR A6 so special?

[avuthless]

Good day everybody!

So i wanted to start a small thread where people could tell everyone some special facts about their A6. Le Mans, maxed out or as humble as possible, please share with all of us, why is your car so unique or special.

To start i will say why my car is so special.

Made in 2006 my audi A6 has strongest diesel engine 3.0tdi and quattro. Also it is sedan (i always wanted such, not that i am against universals in any way), black and with sunroof. Also it has heated seats, bluetooth, MMI 2G, navigation and heated front seats. Pretty normal for such car huh? Well here comes the special part: My car has manual gearbox and non-leather seats. When i searched for this car i found that if i want quattro, 3.0tdi and sedan i will most likely get only tiptronic gearbox (powerful expensive engine so gearbox is also the more expensive one). Also i found that if i want MMI 2G, heated seats and sunroof, it is hard to find non-leather seats (why non-leather? Since it gets quite hot/cold in summer/winter and my back sweats in leather seats..). Also i found that many are retrofitted with manual gearbox, mine is originally fitted. Since when i was searching to buy it, from 200 cars only two matched my needs, i think i have at least a bit unique one.

I am very curious about all other modifications out there.

Interesting!

Mine is a 2006 3.0 TDI Quattro, and I also have a manual gear box. Alas, mine has no sunroof and is an Avant. Mine also has leather seats!

I see you also have Adaptive Air Suspension, thats really interesting! So you have best engine, quattro, even better suspension than mine, leather and still manual gearbox! Pretty unique i would say!

Actually, yes! You're right. I forgot about that - I wonder how many were my spec from the factory?

[avuthless]

I think that with so many features already installed but with manual gearbox is much more unique car than mine! Its like buying yourself iPhone 5S but with home button from 3gs.

Although i should add, that sedans are harder to see on roads lately (in Germany that is).

Hmmm... I'm not so sure. It is a fairly basic spec in all honesty - only an SE with manual gearbox and adaptive suspension. Only the basic MMI.

[avuthless]

Basic MMI? Oh.. How about folding mirrors, heated seats, parking sensors?

Yes, I have:

Electric folding/heated mirrors
Heated front seats
Rear park control
Detachable Westfalia towbar
CD Changer
Cruise control

I'd really have loved an upgraded MMI with iPod/iPhone integration but it just seems like a massive headache/expense.

I don't even have Bluetooth for my phone!

[avuthless]

Mine has no folding mirrors just heated, No parking help, Cruise control is there, Bi-Xenon headlights, BOSE sound system (did forget to mention all that), Two-Zone climate control (i did search for this one too, but i use it soo rarely. I keep "synchro turned on" what makes those two zones act as if like one).

[Rosscow]

Yep, mine has dual zone climate control also.
