Great Ride
My husband and I were originally looking at the 540i and decided on a whim to go to Audi in which we found we got more options for the same price. The ride if smooth and comfortable. The car itself is a lot bigger than expected.
Problems with My A6
I just picked up my new 2005 Audi A6 3.2. After only about 50 miles the transmission began to act up. The engine would race to 7,000 rpm in first gear or would not shift at all. After parking it in my driveway for a short time, I could not back it out because it felt as if the parking brake was locked.

Not So Sweet
I bought this car and drove off the lot with a huge smile. The smile has turned to tears. This car was the biggest mistake I have ever made. Audi is a nightmare to deal with. I have had numerous problems with the electrical system. One thing after another. They were all safety issues and made the car undrivable. There were also issues with the Sirius radio, blue tooth, speakers, airbag, and more. I am not sure if it is just my car but I am going to assume that it is. My car has been in the shop over 30 days in the last 6 months. Audi really does not care. I would never buy another.
The Best Yet
This is the 9th Audi I have owned since 1996.This car is by far the best vehicle I have ever driven. The car handles very well. The new 6 speed transmission is both smooth and firm. The new interior is sensational and utilitarian. The 3.2 engine has plenty of power and git go for me. Audi has outdone themselves with the new A6. My car has almost all of the options with the exception of the sport package and the 18 inch wheels.
A6 4.2
I strongly recomend the Audi A6 4.2, which is about equal to the A8. I have owned the BMW 745IL and Mercedes S class. The build quality of the A6 is equal to the BMW and better than the Mercedes.The car has more horsepower, a ride that is slightly inferior in the comfort area, but more athletic than the others. It is $25,000.00 less in price, thus the value is much greater. For those who want a very nice luxury car but do not require the more upscale badging of the other two fine vehicles, this car is best. I had the Lexus LS 400 and 430 also. Both were junk. Within 15,000 miles both cars needed new tires, a replacement motor for the steering wheel and more. Rearend slides in rain.
