I second that, although replace Audi with a 57 plate Astra SRi XP. I like driving my P6 so much the Astra is now all most exclusively used by the misses.
One thing I don't like about modern cars, and you don't notice it till you jump in the P6, is the level of vision. On the Astra the A pilers are a right pain on bends. With the P6 you simply don't need distance sensors. On the Astra you can't live without them!
What I do like about Modern cars is longs trips are trivial, just get in and drive. And 100k on the clock these day's is 'just' ran in. :shock:
If I had to sell one, I would sell the Astra. But I would rather have both, not forgetting my bike is also very nice for quick trips to the office
quattro said:I have a 4L P6 and an Audi A6 2.7 Biturbo quattro.
The Audi is technically better than the P6, it is smoother, faster on bends and anything apart from a totally dry road, safer, more comfortable, has electric windows, heated seats, Dual zone climate control, two CD players (don't ask, I don't know why) and loads of other stuff that I don't even know about. I like driving it.
But, when I drive my P6 - I do so with a smile.
I haven't named the Audi, but I have the P6 (Sparky) - it has character which is something modern cars have lost.
