My favorite car ever

When I saw my Audi, there was no doubt that it was the one I wanted. I enjoyed it right from the start and still find it a pleasure to drive. I like a car that stands out--and it does. It catches the eye and it is the best car I've ever owned. It's not perfect, but it's fun to drive and the comfort can't be beat. The heated leather seats are soothing on a cold winter's drive home from shopping.

High Maintenance Beauty

2001 Audi A6 2.8 Avant Quattro AWD 4dr Wagon (2.8L 6cyl 5A)

I love my Avant wagon. It is beautiful driving and looking car but more expensive than ever to maintain. I purchased the car with 57,000 miles on it and took excellent care of it. I even used premium Mobile oil. The catalytic converter went our at 70,000. I have paid out $5,000.00 in repair costs not including the converter which I never had replaced. If you have money to carry the cost of ownership go for it! The driving experience is like none other.

Nice performance car for the money

I own a 6 speed and love it. I have enjoyed great mileage and its fun to drive. Every time I see the car I can’t believe the its mine. The engine is very sophisticated with 5 valves 2 turbos. What does bug me about the car is anti-lock brakes bounce back and vibration in the front end. I do get a loose feeling at low speeds in the suspension over bumps. I had the same feeling in my 96 A4.

So far so good...

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

Bought this used with 78k miles. It's a 2001 4.2 with sport package and all upgrades. First thing I did was do full timing belt service. Not cheap, but good insurance. Car runs great and performance is strong. Previous owner lowered 1.5", so handling is great, but ride is choppy. Hazard light unit failed shortly after buying -- a $300 fix. But with both fingers crossed, I'm very pleased with the car. Around $20k invested in total now. Barring any major service, this is a good value for what you get.

Versatile luxury sedan

This is possibly the best all weather luxury sedan ever made. Great for northern winters, and fun in the summer. Build quality is excellent, and the ride is better than a BMW.
