I have a 08 Le Mans 3.0TDi which is basically an S Line with a couple of extra bits. I love the car and will probably replace it with more or less exactly the same one again.
I don't find it too stiff, definitely smoother than my previous 3-series with run flats which would have shaken your teeth out on bumpy roads. I have 19" wheels with 255/35 Michelins on. The car is great for motorway mile munching and can comfortably cruise along all day. We take the car over from Berkshire to Ireland a couple of times a year and it is great for the run up to Holyhead but also for the local roads in rural Ireland.
Large boot and good space inside. I like the MMI which controls sat-nav, audio, settings, bluetooth phone etc. I get decent mpg and the insurance is not too bad. Servicing at a main dealer costs quite a bit, though.
thanks guys, no cons really then apart from dealer servicing but thats the same for all cars. I'm after a 3 year old one to keep the price around £16k but I love the alloys on the 2 yr old ones better
I loved my A6, never understood the "too stiff" thing. The boot is amazing for gobbling up golf gear, stacks of space.
The thing I thought was crap was the sat nav doesn't do full postcodes so you have tohave a decent idea of where you're going and notbereliant on ze german sat nav
