deanos3 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Morning everyone, I borrowed this car for a few hours yesterday afternoon, more toys and buttons than you can throw a stick at...loved it. If I ever needed a barge on wheels, with all the toys and drop dead gorgeous looks, this would be it! A6 Le Mans S-Line Special Edition. All the pics are very similar but I didn't have enough time to go hunting down different locations etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanos3 Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 hey Cruiser, It's a 2.7TDi Quattro S-line LeMans Special Edition. From what I could gather it had... Moonroof, MFSW, Bluetooth, DVD Nav w/ TPC, Colour DIS, TPM, Cruise, Rear parking sensors, adaptive lights (so good!!), Interior light pack, full leather, Eleccy lumbar, storage pack, etc etc..

deanos3 Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 2.7 unfortunately. He's picking up his new 3.0 demo next week, same spec! Nothing like a change is there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Must say, I was mightily impressed with the 2.7 TDi CVT saloon I drove at work. A geezer was thinking of buying one and had one on loan. Superb and his was not a Quattro model. I'd want Quattro! His also had that funny reverse cam thingy. I felt sick looking at that and revering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I tried a 2.7 TDI A6 before i ordered the Beemer, tbh i didnt think it was that quick, im very impressed with my 165bhp 520d and its fuel economy. The 2.7 TDI felt quick in the A4 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alastair_A3 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I think the 3.0 TDI would be the best bet in the A6, or a 170 bhp 2.0 TDI. The 2.7 TDI works well in the A4 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quattroman777 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Just bought a A6 2.7 TDI S Line with a manual box and I'm very impressed with it. Tested a 2.0 TDI thought it was a tad underpowered, also drove a friends bmw 520 for a week... didnt push any buttons for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avantissimo Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I run an A6 2.7TDI quattro S-Line with tip box. Its a heavy car, but once you get it rolling the torque is very good. I used to run the previous shape A6 Avant and had a 2.5 TDI multi-tronic with in the wet the front wheels would loose grip. This never happens with the quattro in this car. Yes it is slower that a non 4WD variant, but the extra grip, especially when cornering is worth it. I've driven a 3.0 TDI and it is noticably quicker still. No news on weather they are putting the new 240 BHP version thats in the A5 and new A4 into the A6 yet. There was talk about a twin turbo 3.0TDi a while ago, but I've not seen anything since? Either way, these are great cars, with good practicality and tons of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avantissimo Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 As far as my A6 2.7 TDI quattro goes, I get just over 30mpg on an average cycle which includes short runs to work on country lanes and roads. On a long motorway run I get 40+mpg and I can stretch to well over 600 miles plus from a tank. It is supposed to have an 80 litre tank, but the most I ever squeezed in was 73 litres. Its actually cheap to run as far as the fuel goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to DIS, my 3.0 TDI allroad (Tiptronic) has managed an average of 31.7mpg since I've had it (nearly 12k miles), and this is mostly country A-road runs with some long-distance motorway and some in-town stop-start. I'm a bit of a leadfoot, but I can get between 450 and 500 miles to a full tank on my country commute run, and on a long motorway cruise at 80-ish, I can get a good 550 to 600 miles out. It does seem to be very dependant on the wind conditions; those big door mirrors and raised roof rails drag a lot in a head or diagonal crosswind.
