This is a beautiful car inside and out! I decided on the A6 over the Benz E-350 and BMW 525i. The interior is absolutely beautiful and comfortable. When you're in the drivers seat, it feels like you're in a cockpit of an airplane, but still very comfortable. The leg room in back is really comfortabe for any two adults, and can accomodate 3 children (as we have) fairly comfortable. I love the new exterior styling for 2005, it has a much sportier look. Audi has definitely caught up to M-B and BMW with car, and in my opinion have passed them, epecially since my car was about $8,000 less (with Quattro) than a comparably optioned M-B and BMW.

This is my 5th Audi (93 100, 2000 A6, 2002 A6, 2004 A4 Cabriolet) and by far the best in performance, control and design. The 'lag' many speak of, lessens after 3000 miles or so on the car. Minus a few dashboard squeaks and one airbag issue at delivery, this car is flawless. Audi has always been a standout among other German brands in term of quality, interior design and never 'blends' in to the crowd of so many other boring vehicles. Being a loyal owner also means putting up with the little 'annoyances' that you have to expect from Audi.

I bought an A6L which is more than 3.7 inches longer inside (only available in China). It comes with a 2 litre fsi turbo engine with 170hp and 280nm of torque from 1800 - 4200 rpm. with a 6 spd manual gearbox. Its a great car inside and out. The award winning engine is very responsive, good low end torque and efficient (30mpg), no turbo lag. It has great headroom and legroom. MMI is easy to use. Vision is good all round. Build quality is up there. Steering is quick and accurate as it is not as nose heavy as larger engines. Ride is comfortable. Its USD 22K cheaper than a BMW 525i so its no brainer. Very impressed. My 1st Audi.

First off, the look is stunning. Loved the look at first site. However, I was weary of Audi's reputation having owned one ('84 Audi 5000s turbo) as my very first car. Needless to say, I did my research before buying the 2005 A6. I've had it for 10 months now, and already I've put 30,000 miles on it. It rides so smoothly. My only complaint is the DVD nav in that it's not accurate at times (it's rare). Telling me a gas station is a block away when there isn't one. When driving in "D" there's a little lag. But if you shift it to "S", no gap in acceleration. YOU ARE FLYING. Handling is superb. I got the A6 V6 almost fully loaded. The 18" wheels feels the road like barefoot. Excellent braking.

This is my 3rd Audi A6 - 1999, 2003 and now 2005. What a car! Simply gorgeous to look at, both from inside and outside. MMI is a great feature. I've compared with BMW's I-drive (what a joke!) and it's simply beyond comparison. Other owners have noted the hesitation on 1st & 2nd gears and I have notice that as well. I wonder why Audi decided to part with CVT. Simply best exterior and interior design, great sound system and absolute joy to drive on winding roads. Looking forward to more Audis in the future.

Took delivery of 2005 A6 4.2 last fall. To date, there has not been one problem. The sport suspension is quite stiff with the 40 series tires. The engine is strong. My mileage is a mixture of highway city averages about 22 MPG every week.

Like everyone else here, I was looking for a luxury, mid-sized sedan. I considered the Infiniti-M35, the Mercedes E class and the BMW 5-series, however threw it out quickly because of the new design. Looks cheap. The A6 is luxury throughout, is a head- turner and performs great. First gear hesitates slightly, but the rest of the gears leave little to be desired. Overall acceleration is terrific. Considering the price was $10k less than BMW/Mercedes and $5 less than the Infiniti, it was a no brainer. For all the negative press I've read about the MMI, don't believe the hype, it's a great feature, extremely easy to use and not a distraction at all. Audi wins a new fan!!

This is really a great car spoiled by a few problems, the throttle response in stop and go traffic is horrible, the brakes grab and the car has more rattles than a baby. On the plus side a great ride with outstanding fuel economy. I purchased a fully loaded 6 rather than the 8 with fewer options and 6 is just fine. Overall the execution is ok, however for the money the E320 is the better option as Audi missed a few easy to fix issues

I'm fortunate to live and work in Germany so I can occassionally unleash the A6's full potential on the autobahn. At 135 MPH (speed governed) it rides like it's painted on the road. Smooth as silk with no vibrations or nervousness (except from my passengers). Servotronic keeps steering input moderated and, if needed I can stop on a dime if a wayward Opel pulls into the left lane. I wish all A6 owners had the opportunity to wring out the German engineering that went into this car on the autobahn. They would be doubly impressed with their Audi. Besides the high speed performance, I'm impressed with its quality. After 8000 plus miles, not one problem (except that darn speed governor!).
