My Audi A6 looks beautiful, but this is probably the worst car I have ever had and this includes a used 1973 chevy monte carlo I bought for $250 when a freshman in college. If you buy this car, be prepared to spend a lot of money for part replacements and repairs. Just when you think you've seen everything, this car surprises you with an unthinkable issue. My advise .... buy something else....

Nice car, powerful engine and fun to drive, but it does not offer reliability. Last summer it spent 2 months at the dealership because of a weird problem with a computer part. Before that, had a problem with the brakes, before that the front seat moved back and forth, by itself when driving in reverse. Do I like this car, yeah I do, its a nice car to drive. Would I buy another Audi .... NO WAY !!! I need to rely on my car and can't afford to have it in the shop so often.

The Car I Thought I Always Wanted

The 2.7t in a word: amazing. Connection to the road: excellent. Cabin: very nice. As my lease comes to an end, I am pleased to say so long to my “dream car”. My problem? Maintenance! When the Audi Advantage plan ends prepare to pay. My car has spent weeks in the shop; driver seat, dashboard lights, and brake pads all replaced. Plastic pieces broken turbo pieces cracked and it seems both the check engine or airbag light is on. The newest problem is sounding like a serious suspension problem. These problems could be attributed to demanding driving, but most of the time this car is simply a commuter. Choose this car be advised of a high maintenance bill!

Loosens up & too expensive to maintain!

We are faced with putting $5K of 'routine' maintenance into this disappointing ride. Turbos clogged, oil leaks, suspension problems, etc. It was billed to us as a family sedan w/ some pick-up-and-go. I had no idea it would be more expensive to fix than a porsche. Next time, I'll just buy one of those instead. Also, the car drives much looser now, compared to my E320 Benz. Audi can keep its line of products for the gear heads.

Performance is outstanding, but here are the problems I've had recently: Check engine light is always on. Car wouldn't start, doors won't lock, alarm, windows , sunroof, controls on steering wheel, interior lights don't work. Headlights flash if I lock the car. Airbag replaced. If stuck in traffic on a hot day, the temp gauge heads for the red zone. Need to sell the car or move next door to the Audi dealership.
