new car advise

Steve R . wote

My minivan lease is up and it's time again for a car. I test drove an A6 and
it's too soft tho the power is adequate. ( cup hoder is terrible, the
salesman asked me to slow down) I prefer an avant but the 2.7 isn't available
in that version. Next step up would be the All Road but I dont need all the
stuff it offers.  Whis the company would spring for an S6.

So I have a question for those in the know.  How does a Passat W8 w/ sport
options compare to the 3.0 A6. Might it fall in between that and the 2.7, or
is it something else. I don't really mind driving a VW but would prefer an
Audi.

This is a little off the mark, but have you considered getting a used A6 Avant
from the 1998 to 2000 model years and upgrading it with the PES supercharger.
Their supercharger kit with installation goes for $5k and boosts the output
to almost 300 hp and with a comparable torque increase. I think at today's
market prices you could come away with a very hot car in the style you want
at about half the price of a new one.

No affiliation with PES just throwing out a suggestion.
