Have only had the Avant 2.8 for a month, bought used with 32k. Audi builds a quality product that is extremely solid and well designed. I have to agree with previous reviews that it feels slightly underpowered while in a partial throttle acceleration from a standing stop, but if you get on it, the 200 ponies are definitely there. When the engine is cold, the trans does not want to shift at the normal times, but the tiptronic cures that. The car is a joy to drive on the highway - smooth as silk and good handling. I also prefer the tiptronic shifting in the mountains. The car conrner like it on rails, doesn't feel at all like a wagon.
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

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.
The worst car ever created

For the $40k this car cost, it should be reliable. It's not. 16 major problems and 22 minor ones in 4 years. I wish I'd bought two $20k Mazdas instead. I'll never buy another Audi. EVER.

great all-around, all-season automobile...comfort and poise whether driving through southern wyoming mountain passes, or down I-25 to the denver airport (unless you lose key going thru customs and have to rent a car plus shell out $187 for new laser- cut key)...overall a great automobile that I still enjoy driving...
