Audi » A6

A versatile, comfortable and relaxed saloon car that scores solidly when it comes to economy, performance, reliability and road-handling. Even the 2.0 litre models offer 140Bhp; reviewers all report no lack of 'oomph' for a big car yet the diesel 2.0 litre will do 48pmg. There is loads of head and legroom in the back even for tall passengers, and a large boot and foldable rear seats all make this a very practical car too. This capable all-rounder is justifiably a favourite.
