Used 1999 Audi A6 Wagon Consumer Reviews
Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop
Relatively pain-free; an absolute joy to drive. Originally a SoCal car, now in Michigan, the quattro has impressed. Fuel sending unit recall early on, expecting more trouble; never had it. Only other odd thing: Rear pads lasting about half as long as fronts and the rotors not being "turn-able" despite catching pads early. My Jetta VR6 is MUCH more problematic; Doubt I'll buy A6 after lease is up 7/03 just for fear of what I'll be up for. Oh, yeah. Leatherette interior, no seat heaters, no BOSE, no moonroof makes this car's residual a joke (but original deal bettered V70).
One of the best wagons!
Purchased with 79K now has 98k.The only major replacement was the front suspension.This wears out prematurely but there was a recall on this.However it does not last typically as long as other cars',it is aluminum.Aftermarket suspension is better than OE. Acceleration is adequate but once on the highway maintains speed well.Maybe gearing meant for Autobahn and not 0- 60 times. Very comfortable. Driving habits will determine fuel consumption.Heavy right lead footed acceleration will move the weighty Avant, but will result in average/poor fuel consumption. Handling very good with 17" wheels.Heated steering whell and seats.Bose stereo and 6 CD changer handy. Buying decision was based on safety.

A6 Avant
Very stylish and comfortable and quiet cruiser. Last car was a Land Rover Discovery. This is a much better car to travel in. I've had it into service too many times -- new power steering pump, and a few electrical glitches. I'm fortunate it is under warranty.
A6 forever
Like an old pair of shoes you love. This car has a casual elegance to it.
