to possess


I'm looking to purchase an audi a4 or a6 in the next week. I'm after
going through a web load of research and they come up in the top
percentile in everything that is important to me. I've also wanted one
since i was about ten and my next door neighbour had a lovely silver
audi.

My question -

Any thoughts or experience on how the a4 and the a6 shape up to each
other in the following areas -

- Handling/Performance
- Economy ( am going to buy diesel variant)
- Reliablity/Servicing

I'm looing at the a6 due to its vast boot and passenger area. Family
planning really does hit everypart of the life .

Thanks for any help.
