People don’t want sedans anymore; especially in southern Africa. That’s a huge pity though, because this one is excellent…
A6
Audi model codes
Why are some Audi A4’s referred to as B5 or B6? What came before the A6 and when was the Audi 100 produced? These and many other code-specific answers should be in the table below:
Top List: Boot Space
Ag no man. Your mother-in-law is coming along on holiday and the kids want to take ALL their toys and sports equipment along. Where are you going to fit all of this?
Perhaps you have already invested in a sizable trailer and decent roof-top box but your car simply can’t handle more luggage. Well, we at NamWheels love to help and have compiled a list of cars with at least 400L of luggage space. Big enough to put your skoonma in the boot.
Sprint Review: Audi A6 1.8 TFSi
One new car, plenty of information in random bits.
What you need to know: The Audi A6 is a medium luxury sedan which, while hugely popular overseas, joins its brethren from Mercedes and BMW in the friend zone. Everyone respects them but buys their smaller brothers (A4, C-Class and 3-Series) while lusting after the big A8, S-Class or Seven Series.
Vergelyking: Audi 1-6
Terugflits in die Verlede!
Dit gebeur nie elke dag dat ons opeenvolgend die “intreemodel” en een van die topmodelle van ‘n vervaardiger ná mekaar ontvang nie. In hierdie geval was dit Audi se A1 en die groot A6, twee modelle waarin die groot broer amper twee maal duurder is as die kleiner een.

Don’t fear, we’ve made a list of cars that can go the furthest on one filling of the tank. You know, when the attendant does that whole click-click nozzle trick.

If you’re a high miler though, this list is a good start.

The cute shuffle
Are we alone in the universe? Who shot JR? Can a man do the dishes without complaining? What’s the meaning of life? These may be questions of grave importance but they pale in comparison to the following: should you buy a diesel or petrol car?
Tested: 2012 Jaguar XF-R
The instant stunner
Last week I had multiple cases of déjà-vu with a highly anticipated test car, the Jaguar XF-R. The first two flashbacks came courtesy of the 3.0 and 2.2 turbo-diesel XF’s I had the absolute pleasure of driving and the R-version of this car had a few more surprises up its sleeve.
Tested: 2011 Audi A6 3.0 TFSi quattro
The middle choice
So the year’s almost over and you’ve been playing with the idea of a new luxury German car. The C-Class, A4 and 3-Series are just too obvious and plentiful. The A8, Seven and S-Class are too big, which just leaves you with the 5-Series, E-Class or the new Audi A6.
