Good driving German car with exceptional traction. However, it's difficult to get parts and expensive to maintain.

I bought this car new over 20 years ago. Even though I have had various repairs done, I still cannot part with it. 163000 miles, Yea the paint is pealing, but it still drives better than my Subaru, Land cruiser, or mercedes Benz. Never had the engine apart, no transmission issues, no electrical issues. 3 output shaft seals, rear brake rotors, calipers, parking brake cables, these are the aggrivating repairs. Also 3 water pumps, timing belts. But the car sure drives nice. Probably should thing of getting rid of it , but just can't part ways. Nothing drives like a Quatro in rain or snow.

Buy a USED Audi

I bought a 1997 Audi A6 with 70,000 miles about 3 years ago for $13000 CDN. It needed a steering rack when I bought it. Since that time I replaced the catalytic converters, ignition switch and brakes and tires. Probably 1500.00 average for repairs. It runs great and if you do the math, it is the only way to buy a safe luxury car. I absolutely love it. About a year ago I was rear ended. The other car had to be towed away, and I had a small licence plate mark in the paint. Id buy another Audi in an instant.

This is a nice car. I just can imagine an A8 after this. Very reliable on the rain/snow. You have the most advanced AWD syatem in the world.

I just sold my A6--I had it for 2 years exactly. It was amazing in the snow and made wet roads seem dry. This was by far the best feature of the car. It was very comfortable (seating and ride), more so than most BMWs I've driven. The main reason I got tired of this car was it's lack of power. I mean it's not slow but you have to floor it to take a camry at a stoplight. Handling is good. The fact that I could not have a cd changer or deck installed really irritated me--the only way you can listen to cd's is buying a FM modulator ($250). Bottom line is it's a kinda boring car. Thats why I got a 3-series now.
