A6 is available in saloon and estate with quattro and 140bhp 2.5 turbo
diesel.
Never driven one, never even seen one.....

Colleague drives a 80 Tdi - "Drives just like a normal car unless you rev
it - then it drives like sh*t".
There is a Golf TDi single marque race series, one of the main regulations
is that the cars should not emit quantities of black smoke.
