2000 AUDI
Great interior and very good driving car for enthusiast that does not care about rear-wheel drive. Very good gas mileage 18-20 City. 25 Highway. Excellent tarction in all weather conditions. In terms of reliability, it has aways started and has had a few too many trips to the service bay for an odd list of small issues ranging from a broken cup holder to a defective gas tank (recalled twice). Still looks great and has held up in tough urban driving. Ride is still very consistent and Quattro is excellent AWD system. It has never failed me.
Just one guy's opinion
I have owned Audis since 1990 and this one is the best so far. No question, at the time I bought it it was one of the best engineered cars on the road.

Unreliable
Leased this car new in 2000, can't wait to turn it back in. If we had owned it, it would have been gone long ago. After almost 3 years of complaints the dealer finally solved a cold start problem (towed in 5 times) but after the fix it developed a cooling leak that took 3 visits to cure. Broken power windows, fuel tank recalls (2) etc, etc etc.
No more American cars
After the Audi experience, I would NEVER buy another american car. This A6 performs better in the snow and ice than my old 1995 Chevy Blazer 4WD.
Great Car
The 2.7 is a fun car to drive. Plenty of pep and holds the road like a tiger. Now if they could just get that wonderful Bose radio system to get better reception, that would make the car just about perfect.
