Looking for recommendations - up to 14k diesel

kcools

Hi all,
Need to replace my 06 Honda Accord icdti. Have about 14k to play with, need diesel as I do about 30,000 mostly motorway kms a year. Doesn't have to be a saloon, only real provisos are comfort, reliability and lots of gadgets - sat nav, decent stereo, cruise control etc. Ideally looking for 2009 and up. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Loving the look of that A6. Anyone have any particular lookouts for them? Or owner experience. Thanks for the advice so far.

It's the pretty much standard VW 2.0 litre CR diesel engine used in many VAG across their range including the Passat CC I also linked. Reliability is fairly good on them but you have to watch out for standard problems such as failing EGR value and consumables like the flywheel which is a scourge of most modern diesel engines fitted with one. That particular model A6 was launched back in 2004 with a facelift in 2009 so a 2010 model should have had most of it's bugs ironed out at that stage. Should be well able to eat up the miles in comfort.
