Both are very reliable cars. That said, you're covering 2 different generations of both cars with that year group. Performance among those varies greatly, with the best of both economy and acceleration found in the vehicles equipped with the 8 speed automatic. They are different cars in terms of demeanor, I recommend you drive each one and figure out which one you prefer.

Another of these geography ambiguous posts which may drive which generation it is in 2010, esp. given the reference to 3.0 motor. For OP, please provide us where you are, at least by country. Majority of posters here and thus how people think of model years are USA based. All welcome of course!

Tnx for the fast reply,
I live in Israel, very hot place in the summer,
I had a passat with a dsg gearbox that made trable because of claimant conditions, since I sold it I never get neer to a dsg gearbox again.
I'm looking for a fast luxury sadan car, it's going to an audi or bmw, so I understand you recommend the A6 c7 3.o qaouttro, any particular assus with that car?
Tnx rami
