Hi everyone, new to the forum and cannot believe how much useful information is posted here. I'm about to place an order for a new A6 Avant and just wanted reassurance really regarding my specification choices and any constructive comments will be appreciated! Private purchase and will probably keep at lest 5-6 years, average about 12,000-14000 miles a year. I know everyone is different but anyway my spec is as follows:

A6 Avant 2.0TDI Ultra S Line S-Tronic, Daytona Grey, black leather etc.
Options:
Tech Pack
Lighting Pack
Privacy Glass
Electric folding mirrors (now standard)
Heated front seats (now standard)
Convenience pack.

Cannot really justify, afford more unless convinced otherwise!

  • I did consider the new 2.0 Quarto just available but not sure if worth the extra £1500 really though would choose that over the BE edition?
  • Like the look of the BE version but would be paying extra for sound system (not really bothered) and having test driven one I found the ride a little too firm on the 20" wheels to be honest so happy with the 18" on S Line.
  • Has anyone specified the SE suspension on the S Line out of interest, many motoring journals suggest this, wondering if that with 19" wheels would be good compromise (ride and looks)?
  • Has anyone chosen the convenience pack (now reduced in price), I need the ski hatch for projector screen equipment I use. Screen blinds and privacy glass seems overkill but I do need the privacy glass and hatch, all or nothing apparently.


Many thanks in advance and if I have missed something essential or wasting my cash on something please say so. Sam
