[s-cars] Test drive 2000 A6Q 2.7T 6 speed

[hoog23 at aol.com]

 I must admit the only one of these that I am partial to is the S-Line version that they came out with in '03 (or 04?).
 
At least the spoiler makes its butt look better.

<<The 2.7t is a nice car, but it can
be expensive to maintain>>
I gotta ask; what do you all DO to a 2.7 that you wouldn't do to any car you
own. we sell tons of these cars (2.7 T A6, S 4) and have fewer issues than
with the generic versions. All the late chassis cars have the same
suspension setup. t/ belt interval is the same (although the 1.8Ts are
breaking them before 75k). As long as folks change the oil, the cars seem to
stay happy; They're just cars. Keep 'em up and know who the reasonable
repair facilites are.
