ON a recent 400+ mile mountain trip - from Denver to Glenwood Springs and return, averaing 65mph at times in Eagle at 110+, the MPG was 22.6.
I agree that the Aero appears to handle a bit better but I beleive it is a result of Audi's tire selection. As to turbo-feel, I disagree - the Aero turbo comes on all at once at higher RPMs, and the allroad kicks in at a much more tractable RPM range.
You also may want to consider resale value, for although the allroad is too new, A6s have a much greater resale value than 9-5s in this part of the country.
