which model A6 - 2.7t or 4.2

[David Head]

If I had the choice, it would be a 4.2. I have driven both and like the
4.2 much more. Use, it doesn't hold nearly the premium that it cost new
over the 4.2 (nearly 10K). It came stock with nearly all items optional
on the 2.7. No worries about turbos going south (which requires engine
removal). It is silky smooth and has lots of guts...

Plus having other sporting Audi's (A4q30vAvant, Urq, and 90q20v) I really come to love things like sport seats and manual transmission. So the 2.7t is really a great option. But the 4.2 with it's muscular fender flares make for a truly beautiful car .
