1999 A6 quattro

Very good vehicle, but the repairs are expensive as the miles add up. I’ve had my A6 quattro for a little over 8 years & 150.000 miles. I bought the car with 47,000 miles & no problems until 98,000, then the serpentine belt tensioner broke. I went ahead a serviced the timing belt, water pump, etc. Later bought shocks from Germanautoparts.com & they are vastly superior to stock. The vehicle feels rock solid on the road and tracks straight with minimal input from the driver. Find yourself an Indie mechanic. I go to my local VW dealer for oil changes & some labor. VW parts are cheaper than Audi parts (SAME PARTS). Also, labor charge at Audi dealership is twice what VW dealer charges…Go figure.

Bought it with 18000 on it,now it's 57000,no problem whatsoever .At first I thought I stepped "down" after driving '93 740I for awhile.Perfomance felt kinda "sluggish".Then I realised than if U leave transmission in the 4 position there is not much difference between either two.I switch in D only on freeway,as soon as speedo shows 80. Works for me.I do most of the cars out of holeshot.Torgue is not what the number says,it's how and when it delivered.

Classy ride

I read other reviews and was wary of this model, but the test drive swayed me. This does not drive like a 3800 lb car. Coming from a BMW 525, I felt some difference, but not that much. Acceleration isn't blazing and gas mileage is disappointing, but the interior is top-notch. No mechanical problems yet after 6,000 miles. I am baffled how a windshield wiper fluid tank can spring a leak though. Not as easy to get to 100 mph as the bimmer.

Too Unreliable

Overpriced & very sluggish from lights, roars like a bull when driven hard. Poor quality interior (Rear cargo cover & first aid kit door broken, illegible radio display when cold, fading dash display when hot) Oil Leak, burns a lot of oil, fuel sensors replaced 3 times, Xenon light replaced due to moisture absorption, Intermittent rear cargo light operation (dealer unable to find cause) Safe car, handles well but well below par performance for a car of this price. The quality of these cars is hit and miss. If you get a good one you're lucky, if you get a lemon like me, you'll never buy another. Car was be returned to bank after 2 years lease (14000 miles).

My First Car

My Audi A6 was a great first car. It's a smooth, quiet ride. I got it used at 169,000 miles and it smoked sometimes after reaching it's destination. Also the car had problems with leaking oil. Mechanics commented that it looks like a tsunami down there! Both problems did not seem to effect the car from getting around. The oil problems do seem to be a common issue with the A6 though because after this audi was beat up by a deer, I looked into another audi A6 but its oil problems were even worse than the first.
