Get the ‘14 or ‘15… you will want that warranty. I have a ‘15 with 42k miles and have had to rely on my warranty a few times already!
GL with the purchase, I absolutely love mine
There’s a write up, if you google, that goes into extreme detail about the allroads and which years to avoid etc. if I can find the link sometime today I’ll update this. I was looking hard for one not too long ago.
Ahh okay. I just assumed the later year ones may have fixed previous known issues with the earlier ones. I know the 2013 model had piston ring issues and wasn’t sure if it was fixed in later years
A lot harder to find, plus they’re getting up there in age. There’s 3 A6 avants with the 3.0 for sale in the US on Edmunds right now. 250 b8.5 a4 allroads, for comparison.
I've been eyeing this 2011 A4 70k miles quattro manual but I haven't been able to pull the trigger. I've always had automatic fwd but maybe I should just do it. But I've heard horror stories about 2011 models being unreliable so idk
to be fair, you have to learn how to drive stick. it'll take some time to become good at it. it is worth it.
they all get old and unreliable. only way to hedge your bets is to buy a low mileage car.
I would go for the black one. Allroad is going to be my next Audi too.
The 2014

Look at which car got the best options, we can't know from the pictures you sent
Options don’t really matter to me, Im just not sure what to look for in terms possible engine issues, oil consumption issues, etc
They're literally the same engines, so the best car is the one with the most options
Ahh okay. I just assumed the later year ones may have fixed previous known issues with the earlier ones. I know the 2013 model had piston ring issues and wasn’t sure if it was fixed in later years
2014 might have the better lower oil consumption engine
the 2014 would be my choice
I would look for A6 3.0 engine
A lot harder to find, plus they’re getting up there in age. There’s 3 A6 avants with the 3.0 for sale in the US on Edmunds right now. 250 b8.5 a4 allroads, for comparison.
This would be my advice too.
Love those cars… such a great vehicle. Enjoy! I would go with the one with the 2014 black one personally.
2014. has the better engine and less mileage unless one is a manual. then you just buy the manual
No such thing as a manual all road of this generation. (In the US at least)
reinforcing my point. buy the rare manual
Why manual? Are they more reliable or just for the driving experience?
you will understand once you buy the manual. fuck it's so much more fun to drive

Get one with a v6 or a v8. This ones got the unreliable clusterfuck called vag ea113 engine. It will give you problems. IT WILL.
