A6 Allroad 3.0 - Any views?

[LFB531]

My early Range Rover Sport is now ready to be changed and much as I love it, not convinced I want to shell out the whopping sum needed to make a sensible upgrade to a newer one.

I usually buy at about 4/5 years old and have been looking at the Allroad, attracted by the adjustable ride height, load space and rear seat legroom. I pull two trailers, both when loaded around the 1700kg mark. c£15k seems to be the start point for a fairly decent 2010 example with around 60,000 miles covered.

Don't use all the 4wd gadgets the RRS has to offer but like the extra grip if needed.

Realise it's a different animal from what I'm going to change, any good/bad views on this option would be gratefully received.

Thanks very much, really helpful.

Out of interest, did either of you consider anything else when you bought? I can only think of the XC70 Volvo and the Subaru Legacy as being remotely similar to the A6 in concept/size.

I'm going to go for an oil burner, Mrs LFB took an instant dislike to my daily driver s/c Jaguar, I'll never convince her that it's a good idea to have similar tech in the family barge!

Great advice (even about keeping the RR), thanks everyone.
