Tell me why an Audi allroad isnt the best choice for my planned 12-15k mile North American tour this May. I am not as interested in "muddin'" and recreational "rock crawlin'", but nearly 2,500 miles of the planned route are completely off-pavement (forest srvc., logging roads in ME, trans-Labrador, parts of Mexico etc.)
1. Sleeps 2 in back
2. 250 hp
3. Adjustable ride height that offers more ground clearance than a Grand Cherokee or stock Disco in level 4.
4. Yoko Geolanders fit perfectly
5. 20 mpg
6. Quiet enough to have a conversation at 100 mph.
7. Quattro (no true low range)
8. plenty of room for a good roof basket and roof mounted full size spare
I mean what am i missing? I own a Series IIa and put 50k miles on an FJ62, but why not choose a quattro platform that uses less gas, cruises better, and has real off-road capability? When will i wish i had a 4 runner with lockers and a snorkel?
