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.

A Great Car

I love this car! Bought it new and have had one electrical problem with radio that was covered under warrenty, but that's it. 10,000 miles between oil changes can't be beat. Very reliable and safe - best 4wd vehicle around for on street winter driving.

A6 2.7T 6 speed

Sport suspension option makes this car an excellent daily driver. The power of the bi-turbo engine and 6 speed transmission are an excellent combo. Quattro is great in the snow and for getting the power and torque of the engine to the road.

2001 Audi A6 4.2 Quattro AWD 4dr Sedan (4.2L 8cyl 5A)

From the solid feel of the door handle to the unreal hold on snowy winding Connecticut roads, this is the all-around benchmark for mid-luxury. Before falling for the A6 4.2, I drove (among others) the 540, G35 and both Lexuses. Each excel in one area, but not one adds it all in one package like the Audi. And at a better price. The only thing missing for me is that it's not an RS6. But that additional money is tied up in my weekend convertable.
