Estate cars - advice

django 123

Hi,

I'm in the process of upgrading my estate car to a newer and lower mileage model.

I have narrowed down my choices to two options and was looking for any general advice or feedback from owners of the below vehicles. One is an older audi, the other a new Peugeot that are getting very good reviews.

Option 1) 2015/2016 Audi A6 S Line black edition avant, 90k miles.

Option 2) 2019 Peugeot 508 estate 1.5HDI 62k miles.

Both cars are in a similar price bracket when VRT is included - I would be purchasing the cars up north and bringing down here (they are both registered in NI pre Brexit).

Thanks

The Audi is a beautiful car from those years, no doubt about it. But it will be let down slightly by having infotainment system that is about a 14 year old design at this stage. That would be my only drawback, once the car checks out mechanically. I don't know anything about the Peugeot, I'd guess infotainment is more modern depending on when that particular model came out first.

Also, are you sure you won't get a cheaper car in ROI? Importing diesels is expensive these days.

Would you not get the 2.0 HDI in the 508?

Great thing about this Audi model is how easily you can get wireless Android auto and Apple carplay retrofitted and have full steering wheel/centre wheel controls as if it was factory spec.

I have the 508sw / 2.0 HDI and it has been bulletproof. I have nearly 200k on it.

I meant get the 2.0 instead of the 1.5

New model 508 is on my radar too, not sure if the driving position is too low for me but it’s a lovely car.

Very low alright, but functional and comfortable enough. Did 1.2k in a day with little fatigue.

Audi every time. Estates are rare enough in this country but there wouls be no comparison between the two IMO

Oh I agree no comparison between the two the Peugeot is a thousand times better.

Peugeot with the 2.0 litre not really a question.
