Hi,

New to forum.
I've decide to buy an A4 over the Benz c300.
The only question now is Sedan or Avant?

What are your opinions??
- do they handle differently?
- fuel consumption?
- how often do you actually use the extra space in Avant (upper part of the trunk, above the cover)?
- or anything else.

Thanks in advance

I was in the same boat as you. I went from a 300E to an 08 A4 Avant, except mine was a easier decision, I needed the extra space. Having to haul tools/equipment for work and having a 65lbs+ dog made my decision for me.

When I went looking I took a sedan out first because they didn't have any avants in at the time and really enjoyed the car. I can't say that I've spent equal amounts of time test driving both before I took the Avant but I didn't notice a whole lot of difference between the two as far as driveability goes(can't really comment on fuel consumption)

I will say one thing though, if you want an Avant make sure you can live without having a manual. It was something it thought would be easy, but even after 6 months I'm finding I really miss it.
