I've had a little experience with the Audi's and since my Passat which has 4 Motion is similar I would go for the Audi. The Allroad has a little better ground clearance, but is no longer being built and the Avant has a little more room. Just in my opinion Audi still has the best allwheel drive no matter which one you pick Harry 69 280 SEL 135,000 Miles 72 350SL 118,000 Miles 2004 VW Passat 4 Motion 1999 Mazda Miata -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Mon, 1 Jan 2007 12:17 PM Subject: [MBZ] OT: Audi Allroad?
I'm presently wrestling with the wife over which vehicle we'll get to replace her aging 123 clunker. She's adamantly convinced she needs an AWD vehicle for her alpine-related program activities (x-country ski, hike, snowshoe, etc.), but I think it's stoopid to lug all that 4WD stuff around for the rest of the 99.9999% time you don't need it. I don't think logic is going to prevail, sooooo...does anyone know much about the Audi Allroad or A6 Avant Quattro, etc.? They seem like a nifty rig, if you're into that sort of thing.
