I seriously considered Mercedes, BMW less so before buying the A6. No complaints or regrets, this is a great car. Comfortable, safe, fast, secure. We'll soon be shopping for our next car, and because of our experience with this one, our bias will be for Audis.

great car. elegant interior. very stable - 100 mph feels like 60. excellent audio system. quattro sucks up the road like a Hoover. most comfortable power seats ever. looks and drives like new after 80k miles. good hiway mileage. hardly a scratch on the bumper after 45 mph rear end collisionin LA ($5k damage onoffending 2002 Camry font end). Tasteful and understated. I would buy another in a heartbeat.

Bought used with 35 K miles. Since I bought it two weeks ago, it has spent 1 and 1/2 weeks in shop with electrical problems. I love this car- when it works. I don't have the time or patience to continue taking it in for repairs. I'm very disappointed. If I can unload it, it will be back to Japanese cars for me.

Near-Perfect Car

I've gone through quite a few cars in recent years, including VW Passat, Acura TL, Lexus ES300. This car beats all of them by far and yes, even purchased used. Strong engine, good fuel economy, go-anywhere AWD, luxurious interior (leather & real wood!) with everything at your fingertips, tiptronic transmission. I can ride in this car for hours w/o any backache.

Don't buy one that's not certified! It is a great car, but costs big $$$ to get fixed. Don't take to dealerships! Got 19-20 MPH average (Stinks!) Had all kinds of issues at first. Hit a pothole for $5k of damage. Had a wheel fall off while driving due to a bearing and control arm just breaking off. Engine started leaking oil pretty bad at like 95K. Was still running at 150k, but was hurting. New brakes every 20k or so, new tires about the same, new head lights pretty often. Bent my rims all the time. Always thrashed my front bottoming out. Awesome in the snow - even if the snow was over the hood! Crashes VERY well. Head on with a Jeep Grande Cherokee and no injuries. Car dead.
