Review

Coming from an A4 with a 1.8T and Tiptronic I have to admit the S6 feels like a rocket. I have also owed a modified VR6 VW before, but this car is in a different league all together. Great highway cruiser and unstoppable in snow. Build quality on this vehicle is excellent and the example I picked up does not feel 12 years old at all. As for the performance, this car will surprise its driver and put a big smile on your face ever time your drive it. I like to keep my cars in top mechanical shape which in case of this beast means shelling out few hundred bucks a year, but it all pays of in the end.I’m looking forward to upcoming winter season and all the fun in the snow!

Favorite Features

Quattro drivetrain, comfy sport seats, awesome looks.

Suggested Improvements

Gas consumption is a bit high, but it is to be expected form a turbocharged car that weights close to 4000lbs.

Fantastic Sports Sedan 20 Valve Audi S6

Review

This is my fourth 20 valve s car over a 9 year period and by far the best of the bunch. It is a 95 1/2 or essentially the 96 they never imported. It's performance is stunning, and its reliablility and build quality are unmatched. After over 10 years this pearl white/ecru S6 looks new inside and out. It's too bad they stopped building the 20 valve cars. The newer V6 is apparently a higher maintenance vehicle, and the V8s lost the soul of where they came from...the 2.2 liter world rallye champion 20 valve Sport Quattro.

Favorite Features

Combination of performance, economy and reliability is fantastic. I owned a newer twin turbo V6 audi S4, and ultimately returned to the earlier 20 valve S6 due to its superior comfort and fuel economy with virtually the same performance. It felt more like a sports car than the A6 twin turbo 2.7t

Suggested Improvements

Cupholder, although I think they've finally gotten it in the newer versions

S-6 Overview

Review

Car has provided high performance with all weather capabilities. Reliability exceeds what I expected from reading some reviews about Audi in general. Fuel economy maxes out at about 26 mpg on the highway- around 20 around town. The incredible surge of power when the turbo hits at about 2,500 rpm is quite exhilarating- I recommend a radar detector! It has provided a combination of performance, style and comfort with great foul weather abilites!

Favorite Features

Turbo 5 cylinder motor, Quattro all wheel drive, sporting capabilities.

Suggested Improvements

Trunk lid is cumbersome to unlock and lift, often requiring two hands.

1995 Audi S6 - The Greatest Car I've Ever Driven

Review

Thw 1995 Audi S6 is quite possibly the most amazing car I have ever driven. It is rock solid. The quattro system is a dream. You can't tell its there, but you know its working. It has been raining like crazy lately, everyone else is sliding, but this beast is not going anywhere I don't tell it to. This car is incredibly elegant, solid, and truly connects the driver to the car and the road. Amazing experience. I think i'm going to go drive now.

Favorite Features

The tires. They are incredibly wide, and give the car such a dominating appearance. Car is so solid, feels like a turbocharged tank. Bose is great, love the seat heaters... that the pssgr mirror lowers when reversing is something you wouldn't expect.

Suggested Improvements

Yeah, im going to agree with the turbo lag/first-gear thing. If 1st was a little taller, the turbo could spool and oh boy watch out then.

Control and fun

Review

I bought this car as backup/mountain car but this is the most fun car I ever drove. its true in my case that many times I drove extra miles just because I was having fun. Control and road grip is awesome. Maneuvering, control, big torque, aggressive, fun. For me, love with this machine start after 40mph. AC, sound, climate control, pocket seats, finishing, elegent style, all is flawless

Favorite Features

Road grip, maneuvering, control at any speed.

Suggested Improvements

Turbo lag is horrible. Especially in first gear its not impressive. Later its ok cuz its manual and you have all the control but initial pickup is not impressive unless you abuse using clutch.
