2.0 TDI (143ps) Auto Estate

Excellent does everything it suggested it would day in day out over 5 years -never missed a beat.

Boring vehicle to own but in a good way - has always started , never broken down and does everything today as it did the day delivered. The s line suspension a bit hard and only really comes into it's own when pressing on, not something one does in city driving, at speed the ride smoothes out however previous car was an A6 SE with soft suspension, current A6 has variable suspension and is much more flexible so think hard if ordering an S line , avoid the lowest suspension option.
Def worth using Shell V power diesel this has increased urban MPH from 42 to 46/47 MPG. Good tip from Honest John.
Still cannot believe the service indicator as vehicle in 5 years has only had 2 VAG services and still shows 305 /348 days to next service/ oil change(?) mileage now 41000.
Familiarity breeds contempt as they say -it is only after holiday driving of other hire car marques and coming back to it after a few weeks makes you realise how good it is in many areas eg comfort / flexibility etc.
Only negative I have had sports seat swab a bit tight certainly compared to A6 on similar sports seats especially evident if swapping between them as I often do so worth checking you fit comfortably over a period not rely on the short 20 minute test drive available.
Would I buy another? No would find the extra money and go for another A6 S line which is even better in almost every area but you are comparing (in my opinion) very good with excellent .
