Audi A4 or A6

I'm mixed between these two cars, both 2003, 1.9 L diesel and both estate. ? What's more reliable and hassle free?

Get the A6, reliability is more or less the same as an A4 providing it's the same 1.9L engine. Granted, parts are slightly more expensive but unless the A4 is well specced and the A6 bare, you're better off getting an A6.

They share pretty much almost everything in common components wise so reliability will be similar but ultimately reliability will depend on how any individual 10 year old car has been cared for over the years. It really is a matter of how much space you need, the A6 will have more of it and will probably be better equipped.
