This is a fun car to drive, that is when it is not in the shop. I've had so many problems with this car that I will never every consider an audi again and judging with all the things I've been reading on the Internet, I'm not in the minority. It seems like they are incapable of fixing the electrical problems assocaited with this series. What ever happened to German Craftsmanship and quality. Maybe this car was made in East Germany !

The first 4 months were great, then the problems started ... weird problems, you open the sun roof and the air conditioning would stop working, turn the headlights on and the wind sheild wippers turn on, accelerate on the highway, ABS lights come on, brakes are applied and you couldn't go over 20 miles / hour/ And the worst thing is, the dealer doesn't know how to fix it. I'm gonna trade it in.

After trading in a lexus gs300, I couldn't wait for the first snowfall. The salesperson told me not to bother getting snow tire - he gave me his cell number and told me he come and push my car if it ever got stuck. He's was right. I get great peformance and no white knuckles in the chicago winter.

Performance, handling, and overall quality very good. Very happy so far. Shopped around and compaired with other cars of this caliber, the all wheel drive was a strong selling point.

My A6 Deserted Me!

I wrote a very positive earlier review about how reliable the car was after 6 years of ownership. It must have jinxed me. Since then I've had an $1100 alternator replacement, a frozen front caliper and a broken right front coil spring (the day before I was to trade it in!) I bought a new 2009 Ford Fusion SEL AWD with nav, leather, heated seats, alloy wheels, rear backup sensor, Microsoft Sync, etc for 1/2 the price of a new A6. A close friend of mine who has the same car just spent $4000 in repairs on his 2001 A6.
