Our experience has been typical of our previous VW and Audi vehicles. The major stuff (engine, transmission, quattro, etc.) is bulletproof. The car's structure is very solid, and possesses that wonderful German feel when driving or simply closing the hefty door. It is the little things, such as broken switches and failed electronic modules, that will drive you crazy (as they deplete your bank account). Dealer network is inconsistent, ranging from "we're an (affluent) Porsche/Audi luxury car dealer, and intend to treat you accordingly," to "our other franchises are VW and Honda, and we plan to handle you in a similar less-than-refined manner."

Great car, expensive to maintain

The Audi A6 wagon has been a pleasure to drive. It's single drawback is a grossly underpowered engine. Although the numbers tell you that you can do 0- 60 in 9.5 sec., it sure doesn't feel it. The car is solid and heavy, which may contribute to the slow sensation. My biggest dissapointment was a $1,200 repair bill three months after the 36 month warrantee expired. All of the repairs were for items that had declined overtime and appear to be not unexpected in Audi's (air conditioner sensor / controller failure, ignition key mechanism failure. Maybe the new 48 month warrantee will catch these things, if not, enjoy he car but watch out.

Buyer beware

Styling and roominess were my main considerations in buying this car. Others I considered were Volvo V70, MB 320/420 wgn, mazada 6 wgn. On test drive alone I prefered the Audi. AWD and long list of options were what clinched it. I thought I was stealing this thing at $8,500 two years ago with 73k miles on it. Similar MB or Volvo were well above $10,000. I soon leared that there are a long list of "common" problems with this vehicle. Off and on working of electronics is the most frustrating,of course everything worked when I test drove it. Other problems I've experienced are: ABS controller $500, upper control arms/tie rod replacement $1,000, oil leak $? Good luck when buying this car

A6 Avant

We like the car but it is slightly underpowered and too many little things go wrong i.e., spearkers(one front one rear). The brakes make too much dust and the climate control will allow the temp to get too hot on cold days before getting the correct temp. The fuel pump went out over night so the car had to be towed in to be repaired. The cost of the pump was $350 and was not in stock.
