Audi A6 Avant 2.0TDI Multitronic 2008

2 star review

Solidly built and finished but not a nice car to drive in anything but dry, perfect road conditions. Absolute nightmare in the snow and even got stuck last year in a Supermarket car park (which was flat!!!) and on a main bus route in town. Reverse park assist also goes off even if you are in a clear area and takes 5 or so seconds to get it’s bearings and switch off. Sat Nav has some strange ideas about destinations and it would be great to be able to just enter a post code! Can’t wait for the lease to end and to get my next car and have even installed a countdown display on my computer to show me how long to go.

Audi A6 Avant S Line 2008

4 star review

I have just taken delivery of a new A6 2.0 Tdi S Line from www.carlease.uk.com. Fabulous car, great value for money compared to everything else on the market. Better build quality than other manufacturers. Everything about the deal from Grange Court Leasing was excellent, the price, how quickly they delivered and how efficient the company was....Thanks guys.... looking forward to changing in 2 years time with you...

3 star review

I have had my brand New Audi A6 Avant since Monday - today is Thursday - the car is fantastic to drive and the build quality is very good. It is a very roomy car with lots of gadgets which you think having paid for the kit so that you can use an iPod it would come with the cable that attaches the iPod to the ICE system... no that is an extra £30. I have tried to use the Audi sat nav system which is operated through the MMi system and it is so difficult to operate and when you do manage to get an address locked in you find it is only accurate to about 2 miles. I had two Audi salesmen trying to get the thing sorted and teach me how to use it - that was two hours wasted. I have given up on the Audi sat nav and will use my after market unit - a Garmin Nuvi that finds and locates addresses accurately. As far as I am concerned the Audi system is a total waste of money and is now an ornament. I did not expect such poor quality for this money. If the rest of the car was like it a would have returned the car. My next car (probably not Audi) will not have a built in sat nav!

Audi A6 Avant 2.8. 2008

5 star review

Extremely roomy car with lots of extras; but they do cost a lot extra... Wouldn’t have bought a less powerful model and will opt for the RS6 once I come to buy another. Only problem is stopping my BMW driving wife from stealing it.

Audi A6 Avant 2.0 tdi Avant SLine Auto 2008

2 star review

Big mistake - multitronic transmission is poor pulling away - apparently does not have a torque converter - uses an auto clutch - comes in with a bang if your are not careful and also a tendency to wheel spin (they should have fitted traction control with the electronic stability pack fitted) , noisy engine at low speeds and road noise is not good (compared with my LR Discovery) - Navigation is poor - out of 27 destinations could only find 10 with any accuracy - sad but the only good thing is the fuel consumption averaging at 36.7 over the first 1500 miles - unfortunately its on a 3yr lease - if I could change it I would. Compared with the LR discovery it is not good value for money - downsized to be greener - there must be better cars out there!
