Mixed feelings

On the one hand, I happen to like the styling as well as the weight-to-hp ratio. On the other hand, the maximum cargo volume is quite paltry, so it is not clear that this is the vehicle for you if...

The usual suspect....

I dealt with David Leibenson (you probably did too ;-). While he was in Jaguar-world, I dealt with Otis Griffin. They are both good people to deal with.

I won't have pictures for a couple of...

I had a dark green A6 2.7T,,,,,

that I sold for some idiotic reason (well, not so idiotic, the wife wanted a wagon, and this was during the period between the old and new A4 Avants, so she opted for a MB C320 wagon).

I remember...

Try mbworld.org (more)

My wife just opted for the new C-Class wagon, which temporarily cost me my A6 (long story).

I have to say that I am impressed with the solidity and quickness of the MB wagon. The quality of the...

Personally, I had such a bad experience....

with a sales manager at Carlsen several years ago (e-mail me for details, if desired) that I vowed never to go back there even though I can just about "roll out of bed and into Carlsen". Instead, I...

Another voice from the "peanut gallery) + a tale of "woe"

Over the last several years, I have leased two different A6s (a 2.8 and a 2.7T). However, due to a rather odd set of circumstances encountered while trying to make "ye olde spousal unit" happy, I...

Brief Review: '02 A6 Avant 3.0

Hello Audi Fans:
Got to take a quick test drive today of the new 3.0 Avant, which is certainly a prime candidate to provide my wife with the wagon she desires if we can find a way to get out of our...

Unfortunately, David L. is no longer at Rector or with Audi (more)

Another fine alternative at Rector is Otis Griffith.

Is This a Good Deal on a 2001?

Hello Sportsfans:
My wife and I are looking to replace our Saab wagon, so we went and looked at allroads today. I currently own an A6 2.7T that I leased from the same NorCal dealer whose allroads we...

S4 Avants in SF Bay Area?

Hello S4philes:
The wife and I are looking to replace our Saab wagon and the obvious "direct" replacement is the allroad. However, if she can live without as much cargo room as the allroad, it would...

Most of the people I work with, for example...

value reliability above all else. Not surprisingly, most of them drive Hondas, Toyotas, and Acuras with a few new VWs thrown in for comic relief. Out of approximately 65 people in our office here in...

I know I did.....

Well, my wife did actually, but it did in fact cost us $1000 to fix.

You can bet that we are really sensitive to curbs and parking lot barriers now...

The mbh unified car purchasing theory ;-)

Some personal observations:

1. Since "moving up" to the "luxo" or "near luxo" end of the market, I have had surprisingly few bad dealer shopping experiences and zero bad purchasing experiences.

I don't think that behavior is unique to Audi buyers...

There are just some people who feel that buying a car is a competition that they just have to "win". The sort of folks who would drive 500 miles to save $500. on a $40+K deal. They don't even seem to...

Only time will tell....

but it is anecdotally interesting to note that I know a couple of fellows in their 70s who historically drove Caddies (well, since I know them, anyway) and for their last car purchases wound up with...

You never really appreciate your Audi.....

until you are forced to drive another car for awhile.

Re: Tiptronic is overrated. Does anyone use it?!?

I used to use it constantly with my A6 2.8Q, but since I moved "up" to the 2.7T about a year ago, I haven't used it at all. I can get a satisfactory burst of acceleration etc by proper application of...
