Real sporty drive. I do not have much idea about A6. Audi was not in my list from the beginning. I considered between Jag and 523! Test drive and see... |

Jag is just next to Lexus in reliability as per recent survey. Till last week it went for 219k! Sorry to distract you! |

Sorry to distract you! Yes, Jag was one of my options initially but heard a some friends who had problems with it even when the car is relatively new. So a bit afraid to get it.

my vote goes to the 528 due to the more powerful engine and nicer looks.
A6 doesn't look executive enough to me. for me my choice if cars if I were to choose among the 3 germans, junior exec = A4 exec = 5er luxury = S class but my real choices will be junior 159 Exec XF luxury Panamera This post has been edited by Theoldjaffa: Jun 29 2012, 09:34 PM -------------------- -------------------------------------------- Be Smart, Don't Be a Retard - Eminem |

From the video and you are already going for a 2.8, 3.0T is academic tax wise. Wonder what the price difference is between Audi 3.0T and the 528? However I would advise you get the quick steering rack for the 528, it's makes life easier in city driving for the size of the car. The 2.0 Litre trbo engine in the 528 has a tax advantage but sounds a little tinny. Whatever you do do not wind down the windows when accelerating definitely not typical BMW soundtrack.
The handling and consumption beats the A6, the latter has too much of an engine overhang. Have fun |

Don't feel like driving a luxury car in an A6 2.8. Consumption is high but the go is so so. Pricing is similar to 520i.
I went for the 520i. After driving the car for 2 weeks, I am totally pleased. Keep pace with A6 and E class pretty well. Don't see the reason to pay over 30K for a little more speed of 528i. 7L per 100km consumption is a total surprise. |
