[QUOTE="alpina b5, post: 667458, member: 14102"] So i went to test drive the audi a6 hybrid today. My verdict, the only reason I would buy this car is because of its low price, CBU status and sort of high specs. Otherwise, it felt really really boring to drive to me, felt like a German Sonata, even though the performance is rather strong. The interior is uninspiring while the exterior is just ok especially when virtually all the other cars in the showroom were of the S-Line kit (i kind of like the back of the a6 hybrid with the twin tailpipes though, 535i style). Boot space wasn't so much of an issue to me, seats are foldable. BTW, Audi Glenmarie's toilet is awful. In short, I can think of 101 reasons why to not buy the a6 hybrid but just one factor "price" is strong enough to overrule the other factors, it's just stupidly good value. That said, should the 520d ever drop to the same price as the audi a6 hybrid, I would buy the 520d without thinking, everything just feels so much better. All i can say is I felt so uninspired by the Audi I went to Jaguar nearby to try the new XF and XJ 2.0 and 2.2 diesels which while not as powerful are much more exciting cars to drive, sit in and look at. Plus, place wasn't crowded like Audi's and salesmen were more keen. (Sisma, please fix your doors though) And why is it that all car dealers in malaysia have stop giving out the proper thick international brochures that they used to give out, if I'm going to throw 400k of my hard earned money on a car, I expect much more than a piece of a4 paper with your car's price tag and cc etc. I just hope they don't tell me about the environmental friendly save the trees bullcr@p.
