Which new Audi A6 e-tron to buy?
I was living in the North when I bought my last new Audi A7. I saved a considerable sum by shopping around dealers. In RoI, do all Audi dealers stick to the website price or is it worth shopping around?
Audi Ireland only seems to offer a three-year general warranty. Is it possible to buy an extended warranty?
Yours was the best review I have read about the A6 Sportback e-tron. I live on top of a hill two miles from a main road and they do not grit here. I prefer quattro but also want max range - any advice as to how to choose between the quattro and the advance?
Sorry for the three questions!

Hi Michael,
New Audi prices may be the same across all its dealers, but each and every one of them will do deals differently, especially when there's a trade-in involved. No harm shopping around.
We know that Audi has an extended warranty, and it's briefly mentioned on Audi Ireland's website, but there's no further information about its cost that we can see. We've sent a message to our contact there to get an answer on that one for you. We'd certainly advocate for extended warranties on high-end cars.
Finally, only you can decide on which of the A6 Sportback e-trons you like, but do you need to absolutely max out the range you can get from the car? Enough to live without the reassurance of quattro four-wheel drive? If so, then perhaps invest in a set of winter tyres and wheels to use when you need them.
I'd just go for the quattro and accept it won't be quite as efficient.
