A6

Breadcrumbs

Good-looking, accomplished executive saloon. But it's the oldest Audi around and needs a refresh

Comfort

Just an A4 with more legroom
Performance

Has a range of big-cpacity petrols and diesels. Will get you out of most spots.
Cool

Cool in the way most German luxury cars are.
Quality

Things are built like a vault.
Handling

Agile chassis, but steering keeps it from becoming an enjoyable car to drive.
Practicality

It's a bit too long to drive around congested places. But as a five seater, express mile-muncher, it's perfect.
Running costs

Long, heavy body does take some toll on fuel. Same engines in smaller, lighter A4 much better
