Review
I got this car because i am tired of SUV's slowness and bad handling. but i do need the utility part. 340hp make ur right foot feels good all the time, and the car's look will never get u the bad attention from cops.
very well build, every little details that shows great craftmanship. enjoy drive it everyday, every where. and the good part is it does not bother me with TPMS, non-seat belt warning those extra annoying features.
Well, Bad thing about this car is expensive to fix, timing belt cost more than $2500. Also all the audi/vw's cockpit control button's letter ez to wear off, make the car looks older.
try to upgrade but audi do not offer V8 wagon no more, and Q7 just not as sharp!

I'm an Audi Collector. Which is why I bought this car. They are relatively rare for the US market. It's a powerful beast and holds the road. It snugs right into the fold of the B5 S4 & D2 S8. Although I have to say~ although similarly outfitted, the S8 holds its weight better than the S6, thus, it is faster around almost any track under various conditions. The offset to this is cargo space. The S6 has its place and I love it.

The car has great power and stability. Quattro handling is excellent in snow. The flexibility of the transmission from full auto, sport auto to pseudo manual with paddle shifters is great. I never think twice about power to maneuver. I look forward to driving the car every time. Also, the lower/wider stance keeps the car firmly gripping the road and gives it a great look. It is the perfect blend between utility and sport.

Recently purchased this car Audi CPO. Drove it 1000 mi home - It was like a vacation. This car is perfect. Everything from the dashboard lights to the advanced braking system work in perfect harmony. Some notes: leather seats without alcantara insets are simply TOO slippery for spirited driving. I spent a lot of my trip home planted to the door because I slipped out of my seat. (Learned to offset that a little by stomping on the dead pedal.) Probably wouldn't be an issue for a wider person. Yes, you get terrible mileage. It IS worth it. If you're doing mostly highway miles (like me), you're getting about 18 mpg, which isn't horrible. City? Hopefully you don't drive very many miles :)

bought the beautiful wagon for my
wife's birthday after 6 volvos.J ust
bought a 2nd S6 because its
comfortable, classy, very fast, fun
like Nascar, and now i can drive my
own. just plane sweet meat; a treat
for the feet and you won't get beat in
the real racing seat. "Best car I have
ever had" says the little woman. Very
Reliable. Absolutely blow your kids
hair and minds when you press the
peddle on the way to school... but the
cops think you're a little, albeit,
cute wagon! Ha! Yeah, right! 340hp

We've owned the car for over a year,
and we enjoy driving it very much.
It's powerful, but also practical.
It's great in snow, too, provided you
get yourself some winter tires.

I have been searching for five years
to find the ultimate combination of
performance, practicality, luxury, and
understated styling. This car has and
does it all. While the RS6 beets this
hands down, this car has more than
enough oomph and rail-like handling to
make me smile from ear to ear.
Beside, have you tried stuffing a few
kids and a few dogs with associated
gear into your uber-sedan for a treck
acroos the country? Also, exactly
where do you live that the roads and
the cops will let you test the limits
of your double turbo Porsche?

The car is really fun to drive, but
the front seats are not the Recaros
with the adjustable thigh bolster that
the manual shows and there is very
little thigh support.
The real problem is Audi dealers.
They never tell the whole truth when
you buy the car - every deal is a one-
shot relationship.
Until Audi gets its dealers to act
like human beings, buying and owning
an Audi will be a constant source of
irritation and frustration.
Is it worth it? With all the
competing products on the market, I
doubt it. Audi dealers are the worst
I have ever encountered.

I drive this car in extreme conditions,
and on uninhabited secondary roads,and
highways, it's performance is
spectacular. This car has been through
deep snow and ice conditions with
amazing stability and confidence. There
are still a few places out west where
you can push a cars limits , this car
has seen speeds of
164mph! It remained as stable and quiet
as it was at 80.My dealership is as
great as the car
itself,reliable,courteous,efficient .
They know how to treat someone who
loves cars and pays that much for one
(they are a value at $62,000). Audi
should be as proud to have their
products sold there as they are of
selling them.

"...does not display the power/style
differences over other models to
justify the extra cost...". Well let's
see, the only other real competitor is
the Mercedez Benz E320 4Matic wagon,
which has 221hp compared with the
Audi's 340.
In terms of style, I like them both.
From the front, I have always liked the
E-Class, but after that, it's all Audi.
The same goes for the interior, which
is top shelf.
Is it worth the money? As someone who
loves sports cars, but also has a
family to think about, this car does
both, and brings a smile to my face
whenever I drive it. So for me, it's
worth every penny.
