i have to say reading this has reminded me why despite absolutely loving the allroad, we haven't bought one. As Paul knows, I was looking very seriously for one with the same spec as his for ages yet i just couldn't ignore every report about cost of ownership.
Personally, I'd look for a vw passat 4motion with the 1.9tdi. Less complex, cheaper to own, decent size boot and kit...naturally a lot less grunt than the v6 but you could look for a re-map as there are a few options around and still get close to 600miles per tank out of it. They don't come up that often but thats what i would go for.
As for the door locks on A6's..they are sh*te, i've had to replace the boot lock mechanism and the passenger door one is sticky, doesn't always close when hitting the striker bar, bloody annoying - thy really must have had a cost cut challenge on the A4/A6's in the early 2000's
