The "I just saw a...." thread

[Waugh-terfall]

I'm used to the Mini, that's true, and in the city it's very good indeed as I can dodge traffic easily. But I drive my uncle's A6 sometimes and in narrow streets as well as when parking it's awful. Not so much for the lenght but rather for the width.

Of course that doesn't mean I couldn't get used to it, I could and the car has other advantages over the Mini (like comfort), but if we could get those advantages in a smaller package (which we already can, in the case of Audi the A4) it would be better in my opinion.

But then if you're tall like me, you can't get in the back, hence Dad's plans of an A4 Avant 3.2 S-Line were shattered.

Has your uncle got Rear Parking Sensors, Parking sensors and display on MMI or Reverse Camera? It is pretty frickin wide, but my Dad's had to reverse don't a ver twisty 3/4mile stretch of track with high sided banks barely wider than the car with the mirrors folded in just to let the bastard in a RAV-4 past when the RAV-4 could've reverded 5yards into a passing place...

I'm only about 1,70 metres tall so I could fit in almost any car...

Sorry, edited it a little too late...

No it doesn't have any of the extras you mention. It's an automatic though which helps with low speed maneouvres.

Ah, we have to make do without Parking sensors too, it's fine though, even my midget mother manages fine with it. I find Autos slightly harder with low speed manouvers, I can't stop them jerking everywhere.

If you think the A6 is big, you should see some of the American monstrosities we have over here.
