A6 new 2.4 machine: recommendable?

A new purchase is due. First, I loved an E-Class, but the ongoing discussion about mistakes and failures, as they are described here in the forum, let me distance myself from it. I have now looked at the new A6. Conclusion: In all matters the clearly better, more beautiful and also more modern car. Maestro DeSilva has brought a really nice work of art on the streets. Unfortunately, the engine range is naturally not even at the beginning of the series. t complete. The 2.o diesel would be sufficient, but the torque for the relatively heavy car is enough. However, there is (still) no Multitronic (should be available from March 2005, according to my friend). However, the Multitronic is a “must” for me in any case. So only the new 2.4. There are already experiences about consumption and performance. The old 2.4 with 170 hp was considered relatively phlegmatic and thirsty on fuel and oil in the old A6. How are your experiences? W The new A6 is especially recommended for such equipment details? What do you need to pay attention to? Thanks for every answer now. Johnny
