Driven: 2008 Audi A6 2.0 TDI S-Line

Driven: Audi A6 2.0 TDI S-Line (2008) Hello once again! Today’s driving report belongs to my almost daily-transport in my work days in Spain: the Audi A6, in S-Line guise. Oh dear… It’s big, isn’t it? Well, not a very good start for me. And its design does not pretend to make it look smaller, either. Even so, it’s a symbiosis of elegance and sportiness. Its lines are dynamic, especially from the side and the back, which are underlined by the S-Line equipment package. This package includes gorgeous 17” alloy wheels (a nightmare to clean, and that’s almost a weekly task!), front, side and rear skirts and lowered suspension. From an aesthetical point of view, it certainly looks nice. But it also looks big and somewhat fat… Solidity is omnipresent, in both the exterior and the interior. Speaking of this, it looks mostly classic, with most of the sporty looks gone. Yes, there are (fake) aluminium inserts here and there, but the overall result is far from exciting. Materials are top-quality
