Hello boys and girls.

I Hope you remain covid free and have enjoyed the festivities, to the best of your abilities.

I Find myself in a position where i need some help on the great decision.

I Currently own a 2013 A6 Avant (C7) 3Ltr Quattro (245BHP) S-line and it has been pretty damn fantastic - comfy - fast - economical and somewhat pain free, albeit i had to have a new battery, rear wheel bearing and ABS sensor last month - went to Halfords for a service, MOT and two new tyres (what a mistake that was, they screwed the sensor but wouldn't fix)

Anyway.

I am thinking about changing the car before i loose more money on it and i "want" a new motor but i am stuck, really i cant decide on what to do.

It was always going to be another A6 - have been looking at the facelift C7 BiTdi but close to 30k it opens up options.

I am torn,
2018 C7 A6 Avant - 3ltr Quattor
2018 C8 A6 Avant 50 TDI Quattro

2017/18 Q7 (272BHP version)

But now i have seen the BWM 5 Touring and think the interior has much nicer than the C7 and Q7 but not a massive fan of the extioer looks, looking at the 540i and 530D in a 2017/18.

Due to a change of job ill be doing MUCH less mileage and my commute (when back to the office) will be 5 miles there and 5 miles back with some longer weekend trips.

We have a trailer tent and plan on getting a caravan.


Can anyone offer any advice?

Neither BMW or Audi have these cars in group stock as the larger engines are less popular.

Cheers

You'll lose more money changing your car, so I guess you just 'want' a new car for the shorter commute. Sorry smile

Check out the type of caravan you want first, then check the cars you are looking at still fit the bill.

Personally I prefer BMWs to Audi's, so I would be looking there.

An E43 is somewhere between what you have now & are looking at, nicer interior as well as a nice amount of go:
