What would you guys do, new 17 A6 with the turbo 3.0 or 2014 S6, move powerful engine but older? The thing that intrigues me is the hp and 0-60 time, the A6 is 333hp but assuming much lighter so 0-60 is around 4.6, the S6 around 430hp, 0-60 3.8, what do u guys think, the S6 is obviously more powerful but not by much and would be 3 years older, A6 would be new with newer tech and not that far behind. The S badge though stands out in a crowd.

New A6, no question IMHO.

New A6 all the way. Full factory warranty, new tech, updated mechanicals and amenities.

New A7 for me. A6 is nice, but man the A7 is way sexier IMO.

Given your choices, I'd go for the NEW A6, assuming prices are comparable. The base supercharged V6 is pretty quick, more than enough power unless you're obsessed with speed or just have to have the top spec. The base A6 will ride nicer than the S6 as well, which that is more important than outright handling capabilities in a big, heavy luxury oriented car like the A6.

A7 is way more money.

I knew they were more expensive, thought it was like $4-5k more until I went on Audi's website, 10k premium, or about 15% more than a comparable spec A6. I'm guessing the OP ruled out the A7

SW17LS

Yeah, it's in a different price level entirely

New A6 for sure. I thought this year they will release apl new A6 with more powerful turbo engine. What about the new A5 sport back ????

Wonder if we will all feel the same when the 5GS comes out vs the 16 GSF....price will be comparable.

SW17LS

I would buy a new 5GS without hesitation.

mikedozz

thought I wanted the power but leaning to newer models even if the horsepower is lower.

From everything I've read Audi drastically underrates their HP numbers. I would see if you could find accurate numbers. You might be surprised.

IDK, I might go for a CPO S6 ---

Go with the new A6. Audi products have improved enormously in reliability in the last several years....the newer the better. Plus, insurance is likely to be cheaper on a regular A6 than an S5.

My advice is to forget the crowd, and think for yourself.....although there is nothing wrong with asking others for their opinions, as I myself sometimes do. But, in general, the A6 is probably a more common-sense purchase.

The "crowd" doesn't know what an "S" Audi is lol
