Auto or Manual

[cb400sf]

Hi, am looking at buying a 2016 / 2017 A6 Avant at the moment and have come across a low mileage S Line Black Edition that is well priced, only thing is, it is manual transmission. Are manual A6's less sought after than the auto versions? Just thinking down the line when I want to upgrade, don't want to be stuck with a motor that's hard to move on.

Hi,

There are 518 2014-onwards Avants for sale on Autotrader, of which 443 are Automatics. 

The A6 is an "executive car" and there mostly chosen as autos, as most "executives" want the gears changed for them!

Now you know why manuals are well priced. A manual A6 will be easier to shift then a manual Mercedes E-class however.
