75 vs. A6

Chin. · 15th February 2009, 10:29

I know most if not all people will be biased, but if you were going to buy one of these cars, which one would you go for ?

Say both "X" reg , both 1.8T with similar spec and mileage.

Just the difference in price, obv.

I've driven a fair few Audis, they're solid cars, but they just leave me feeling empty, particularly the interiors. I wish I liked them more, as there's nothing really wrong with them, they just don't give me any kind of emotional response when driving.

First time I sat in a 75, I was grinning like a Cheshire cat. Decision made, as far as I'm concerned!

I like cars with soul. The A6 just doesn't have one, Which is why I own a 75

I have to say I agree. I'm not a big fan of the 75 (a little OTT for me, I had a ZT), but Audis are dull to sit in and dull to drive. No idea why, it's weird, they just feel dead. Test drive it and see if you feel the same.

I really like Audi's, love the RS4, S5, R8 & A4 TDi's (and the look of the A6) and i would say they are the closest thing to the ZT & 75 if you had to have a new car.

But i strongly recommend you drive the A6 first, as you may be able answer your own question. I have driven a couple of A6's (both S-Line) and the ride and handling on country and bumpy roads is shocking. This is something commented about in all the magazines as the "wooden ride" They seem ok on smooth roads, motorways and in town, but you need to get them out of the city and drive it properly.

Personally, the 75 and ZT run circles around the A6 and that includes the current A6's too!

Anyone knows the difference in size?

your not thinking of selling up are you??

Nah, i've driven my mates A4 "R" reg and it really does feel NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- inside, it feels much better in a 600 that's for sure

As for the A6, i just like the "stance" of them that's all, but once the 75 is lowered and got some bigger wheels on
