Used 1999 Audi A6 Sedan Consumer Reviews
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.
Winter Use Only
High maintenance vehicle that is a great winter car, unfortunately the consistent repair issues take away from an otherwise great vehicle. Wife uses car in the winter during snow season and works great for that but the reliability issues do take away from the car. With only 114k miles on it these types of issues should not happen.

Germany's best production
We love our A6. I purchased it used back in 2002 and still own it 10 years later. We have only had minor problems with it such as the tiptronic system not working (easy computer chip fix), replaced the water pump and had a smoke causing oil leak fixed. The Quattro AWD system cuts through the snow-packed New Hampshire and Maine roads like a knife through butter. We also have a Mercedes E320 4MATIC and by far, the Audi Quattro AWD system leaves the Mercedes buried (literally). We also found the front and rear seats more comfortable than MB, BMW. While the Quattro system does take from the acceleration a little bit, the car does respond quickly with a "press back in the seat" feel at high speed
Love the ride - hate cost of ownership
Bought this car with 30K miles now have 88K. The Quattro is wonderful in slick stuff (snow/ice/rain). The seats are good (inc long trips), the car is roomy and has a decent Bose sound system (CD changer is in trunk). Trunk is huge. Rear seat offers plenty room for family of 4. Maintenance is expensive ($$$$) and I can't do any of it myself - always need specialty tools that are very costly. Seems verything is $500- $1500 per visit. Vehicle Info System fades, bumper rips off if you hit curb- stop, oil-transmission and differential fluids all leak. Brakes don't last, air pump fails, expensive suspension components. Mediocre mileage (I average 22 mpg), tires don't last. Still like ride!
