I am looking at selling my F31 330d M Sport for something bigger for the family.

My F31 is a lovely car to drive in terms of the engine and gearbox, it also has Pro Nav and the HK audio.

So with this I am looking at. 2013-2014 A6 Avant S-Line but looking for some guidance.

Satnav/Audio:
Firstly the satnav and audio, does the A6 come with the equivalent Pro Nav, I know they come with Bose audio, but is this standard kit on the A6?

Engines/Gearbox:
The 330d with the 8spees ZF is a peach, quick car for what it is! How does the A6 3.0 TDI compare?

Ride:
I find my F31 with tha 19” wheels a pretty firm ride, couples we with the RFT! And also the M Sport sits low-ish I would say, the A6’s I have been looking at come with the 20” wheels, which for me is a must, how does that ride with the S Line suspension, as I have mine tramlines a lot!

Any advice, items to look out for, would be much appreciated!

Why don't you go and test drive one? Novel idea.

I'll never understand why people want a big comfy car like an A6 Avant, then want to ruin the comfort with 20" wheels and lowered suspension.

I might go and put a couple of bricks under my sofa cushions for a similar effect.

Moved from e90 330i to C7 s6 saloon nav is good it does have traffic warnings and with sim in slot you can do a lot of tricks with it, very comfy it’s on 20 inch wheels with air suspension. I had mine coming up to 6 months now been to Germany with it for long distance it’s a good cruiser,don’t know bout the Diesel engine much but haven’t heard anything but good things towards that engine

The A6 is a nicer car to drive than the A4, but personally I still prefer the 5 series, both for engines and handling. I'd recommend test driving a 530d saloon alongside the A6. In the past Audi would have had a clear lead on how nice the interior was, but especially with the 5 I think BMW are on a par now.

Thanks guys.

I am looking at the moment, and gaining some info, before going into the route of a test drive, sales pitch etc.

The A6 Avant would be a 13/14 plate, and the 5 series Touring would be on the same year, I much prefer the looks of the A6, I have had a E61 5er before. The new G31 is way out of budget!
