Audis don't need radar cruise control because they have a huge magnet behind the grille which enables them to be dragged along by the car in front as long as they are extremely close.
I have one of these w/out the leather, but w/radar cc. Bought new, now has 170k km on the clock. No issues, no problems just works. Averages 6 lit/100km in real life. A beauty to drive long hauls
I'd like to meet the 3 uk people who bought a non s-line Audi and ask why they made such an unusually sane and rational choice. You've got an MX-5 with the 1.5l engine. Again, i approve!
@@madanto2394why? its an automatic estate, the 2.0 petrol is gutless and whiny, the v6 is overpriced and shit on fuel, the v6 diesel is self destructive. the 2.0tdi is tough , got plenty of grunt and brilliant on fuel. this is the uk not america so sadly we cant all afford to roll around in V8’s and full fat models
I had a 2008 A6 with the 3.2 V6. To this day, that was the best car I have ever owned! The sound system (bose) was the greatest I have ever heard in a car! the interior was really nice. And it drove really well! i bought mine with 30,000km (Mine was a S line) and I put 150,000km in 3 years on the car. If I had this car still ( was written off in accident not my fault ) I would have more power and still be going strong today! I now have a mk7 GTI

I have an A4 Avant that I bought new (through my company) almost 9 years ago and I've been extremely happy with it, apart from one expensive sensor replacement. I'm about to get a Q6 e-tron in 2 or 3 weeks and I can't wait, that's going to be an awesome car. I plan to keep that for a long time too, so I'm not worried about the EV depreciation issue. I looked at almost everything on the market but stuck with Audi because I really like their interiors, and the Q6 is a very modern EV on a dedicated platform (unlike the BMWs, for example). Oh, and my guess is a Peugeot 308 hybrid of some kind...
Citroen Berlingo Nice review: I hadn’t even thought about the A6 Avant for years but your arguments in its favour are very persuasive. I can’t believe there are many non-S Line models available second hand…
Bought a 2016 Astra from Motorpoint Chingford. Traded in a 2005 Renault Scenic that blew up its turbo near Lyon. Driving that nearly-new Astra into the nearby McDonalds car park, it felt like the world was at our feet. Separately, no radar cruise seems mean - it was standard on the Passat B8.
I’ll stick with my Superb, thanks. Apart from it having a larger boot and cabin, I found the hard chrome rimmed dash in front of the passenger seat obstructed my knees on a colleague’s A6.
@@TimRodieDrivesStuff Over the past eight years we have a couple of A6's and an A7 - all diesel and they were just as you observed, however we have gone to an Octavia VRS which is just as brilliant but £15-20k cheaper. Off to check your bike channel...
We had an A6 Estate as a rental this summer. And I couldn’t agree more. It is the best car available. Ideally with the 6 cylinder diesel. Btw. Have you gone even paler? See a doctor or catch some rays 😎
SInce BMW lost their minds in terms of design, the restrained conservatism of Audis looks more grown up and premium. Great real world review. Definitely not eine Menge Unsinn.
My dream car. I have an a3 sportback, its baby brother. Shame the new a6 etron one is 80-100k. Out of reach, maybe just have to get a 2nd hand one. Look better anyway.
@@TimRodieDrivesStuff They don't update it often enough. Until very recently the same variation of infotainment had been around at least six years. Compared to their competition. BMW, Merc and Even Jaguar have more up to date infotainment and operating systems than Audi.
I have checked some up in Germany where I live and they are usually very expensive. Those which are a bargain come with a horrible equipment setup with like non leather seats, ugly ass equipment looking worse than some Passat B8. At the end it was a fully equipped E350d W213 for 23k €

I'd like to condemn everyone who specifies with 2.0 diesel & condemn the manufacturers for allowing it

Have same for 7 years , with Quattro and there’s no chance I’d risk changing it.
Flawless
Shame it hasn't got the Radar cruise you could set it for 12 feet away like most other Audi driver's do
Oh I just had to sharpen up my manual tailgating skills. It's so easy when you feel invincible!
The Level of association I feel with Mr Tim is quite significant!
Bald Bearded dads who consider Mr Hewes videos to contain 'Clean Vehicles' unite!
Honestly, I discovered Mr Hewes a few months ago after meeting him at We Have Ways Fest. I've not watched anything else on RUclips since 😂

Just moved on a A6 V6 Diesel with nearly 250k on it, Good motors 👍

Audis always look better as estates than saloons. I've driven previous models including bi turbo v6 diesels they all drive really nice
I wish they'd make an A8 estate... the cowards.
@@TimRodieDrivesStuff A8 is positioned as a luxury sedan with a prestigious presence. Making it a wagon would defeat the purpose.
@@FusseljackNah it would be glorius 😅
@@TimRodieDrivesStuff It's called the Q8!
Very similar to the equivalent Q3 - just a smooth car . Much better than my previous 5 series
I really like the A6 avant.
Dacia Bigster?
That’s not a guess Tim. That’s my new nickname for you
Did you really return a cae in that state?
My God, you have an incredibly smoothing voice! Could you do an ASMR car review?
Hahaha thanks. Maybe one day…
I’ll stick with my Superb, thanks. Apart from it having a larger boot and cabin, I found the hard chrome rimmed dash in front of the passenger seat obstructed my knees on a colleague’s A6.
Yep, the perfect real world car. Well done for being sensible and relevant.
I try my best! Meanwhile on my bike channel: riding a 2.5-litre three-cylinder bike :D

Wow, thank you
its called being british💀 and the V6 diesels are shit , great when they work, my god are they shit when they (often) fail
Had one of these. Understated and luxurious - just too large.

I know not diesel but be interesting to compare with poverty spec 520i or 630e
The A6 lights fires in areas usually covered by pants.
Superb facelift still more stylish.
I think the newest Superb is lovely. I'm with you on that
Awesome car and by the way,he looks like tyson fury a weebit✌️
More like Tyson Furry
Good luck finding an s-line with full leather

My guess is a 1996 Vauxhall Omega. Now that screams executive.
Haha, it's actually a Signum...
Do more motorbikes baldy
I think the Avant is a great car but the VAG I infotainment, dials and interface is years behind.
Years behind what?

Haha vielen dank. I fliege nach Muenchen naechste Woche. Ich werde mehr Schwachsinn in Bayern machen.
@@TimRodieDrivesStuff That’s great to hear! Hopefully we will get to see some of it. 😜
The manufacturer should be condemned for allowing the a6 to be available with a 2.0 diesel.how bland
Maybe don’t buy one then x
Citroen C5X
Close but no gauloise
I approve of the car but my god handing a car back messy really triggered me haha
I've got to keep the valeters in a job…
Bet your next car is a Alfa quadro whatever it's called

Alpine A110
I wish!
Dacia Jogger.
Non!
Peugeot 408......
Small engine, not German, blue, not an SUV... Volvo hatchback?
Nope!
I'm would love that car. I reckon you are getting a Skoda Octavia. Being as you have a Skoda fetish 😂
Not a Skoda for once!
You Cheater
My God modern cars are boring. Comfy yes, but not soul at all.
so maybe now you will stop with the EV nonsense...
