Default Whats the ruling on 2003 Allroad's?

Hey Gang,
Its come time for me to replace my 1999 A6 Avant and step up to a newer model. I have been looking at 2003 Allroads online and have found many to choose from. Consumer Reports does not give them a thumbs up at all. Is it a bad car to buy? What should I look out for? Thanks!!

Get an S6, wide body, a V8 and no pesky suspension problems

Buy an extended service contract "warranty" or look out for costly repairs!

Great car for family and snow. If you like sportier handling, get an S6.

Use Consumer Report to light the fireplace. Unless you want to buy a Camry.

Can you put a refit an AR with a regular suspension when the "air shock" dies?

Default What did CR criticize specifically?

i think its a pretty nice package - 2.7 motor is really solid.

Air suspension should be OK - have nto heard of many problems - kevlar baldders I believe - might be horific to replace though.

Ask ont eh allroad forum, nto here. We dont actually know anything :-[)
