The car has excellent legroom front and back and the estate configuration gives excellent luggage space for 4 adults and bags.<\/p>\n<p>On the road we drove the new A4 on a 300+ mile trip, over a mix of motorways and busy A roads. The 150PS Turbo Diesel engine with 7 speed automatic gearbox was smooth, quiet and gave real confidence when overtaking, especially in manual mode using the steering wheel paddles. At the same time, road noise and ride was excellent keeping driver fatigue to a minimum. In the corners the car is agile and responsive with the S- line spec giving minimal body roll and confidence. The New A4 is just at home in the city, back road or busy motorway.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Overall: excellent build quality, smart styling, powerful and economic engine and great handling.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So don\u2019t delay &#8211; Sixt rent a car has an exclusive 2 month access to this exciting new vehicle, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/php\/reservation\/start_fleet?ref=fleet&amp;land=GB&amp;posl=GB&amp;grp=FWAR&amp;ctyp=P&amp;lang=en_GB&amp;language=en_GB&amp;uci=\">rent it here<\/a> with Sixt first.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to our friends at Audi, Sixt UK are delighted to announce the arrival of the award winning 2016 Audi A4 Avant to our ever-growing fleet.
