OK, let's take purchase price and resale out of the equation, figure they both have around 70,000 miles, they are both out of warranty, and figure you can chip the 4.2 allroad for similar performance to the S6..... based on maintenance and repair $$ + irritation,and any other criteria, which is the better car to own, and why?

GBW

conventional suspensions due to the expense.

let's add that I like the beefy look of the allroad...

5speed6 v.2

...just on that fact alone makes it the winner for me.

allroadCole

with a lifetime warranty. So the air suspenssion is no longer a scary expensive item to replace....

allroadCole

the suspension really is pretty cool for snow and off road. the car will go anywhere...

plus the AR looks way better than the S6 imho...

and the AR has a few hundred extra lbs of armor (skid plates, thicker body panels, protected brake and gas lines etc)... and the AR has two tone interior (i love it)

+ if you want a 6sp the allroad is the only option.

the S6 will handle better due the the suspension. but the AR with h-sports comes pretty close.

Meaning that fat cow look!

HaHa..you're right! it does...it really does look like a cow! wow.

but ended up seeing 4 S6's and haven't looked back. BTW allroadCole is right, the Arnott bags are great - used them on our Rangie, too.

5speed6 v.2

I found them when I wasn't looking...it's always that way.
