2023 Audi A6 Allroad: Does This Prove That Wagons Are Back In Style? 

Congrats!

@@BenHardyCars Ben how are you?

This seems like a great alternative to an suv

Best affordable wagon? Hmmm

Issues? Please elaborate for those considering to buy a used one 👍

@1valg mainly smog related check engine lights on mine, buncha sensors took a shit I guess. 2014 model, 2.0 gas turbo. 70k miles. Went hooning around in it and ruined my CV axles in the front. Replaced those and she's been good ever since. Crossing my fingers not too much else crops up besides scheduled maintenance. Otherwise a pretty solid and reliable car and a beast in the snow ❄️

I think the “newer” 6 cylinder engines are more reliable. I bot the original 2012 Audi A7 11 yrs ago with the 6cyl supercharged engine and only had 1 issue that was fixed so still keeping fingers crossed. No electrical issues yet and hoping I can keep using the car for more years. That engine is STILL on par with a lot of todays modern cars. The car is still relevant today as it was 11 years ago when I first bought the car

I love these, but the deal is to buy a new one. Some sick high prices on used ones. A salesman warned me not to have it out of warranty. You ca; extend the factory warranty. 5 years costs 8k. Worth it if you don’t want big problems.

CTS-v wagon w/ a manual tranny >>>>>>

2023's have Remote Park Assist now. Not available on previous models years here in the US.

Yes! Six cylinders!

@@johnhowardesq fair point. Just couldn’t find any. I think Audi is not going to ship them to NA anymore

@@maxaudi2804 I just drove a used one. I think I need to order my own. They said 2023 orders are closing, but will resume as model year 2024. The dealer didn’t have a new one, and it was a sold special order.

@@johnhowardesq I went and ordered the 24 X5. Couldn’t stand to wait 3~6mos

@@maxaudi2804 I understand. I need to save more for my downpayment, so a six month delay is perfect.

fr i can’t tell what he says half the time

Hmmm... I think you have your speed on 3x.

It’s an acquired taste

They don’t roll over in corners

I've owned 4 wagons so far. It's my 2 seater sports car, and the rest is a dog kennel with the rear seats folded down. SUVs don't sports car or get good fuel mileage. And a regular sedan doesn't carry the dog very well. Works like a regular car otherwise with an SUV sized hatch for cargo. Best of both worlds kinda setup I suppose. Looks aside it's the usability I'm after as a wagon user. I've had 2 Acura TSX sportswagon 1 Volkswagen TDI sportswagon 1 Audi allroad Coincidence... They've all been 2014s

I simply don't get the attraction of SUVs. They are just wagons with raised bodies. They typically don't have more ground clearance than this, especially since half of them still have a solid axle or differential housing that hangs down low. They handle terribly compared to cars/wagons, body roll, brake dive, slow suspension response. I regularly tow a couple or three bikes in an enclosed trailer. I can put a cargo box on the roof and still have better handling than any SUV I've ever driven. I just don't get why people want wagons on stilts.

How to tell us you're not very bright without saying you're not very bright.
