This is my second Audi. First was a 2002 A6 2.7t which I really liked. This new A6 is even better. I was leaning towards the Infiniti M35x, tried one with 12,000 miles on it, I'd rather keep my 2002 Audi. I'm glad I found this 4.2. I immediately knew this was the car for me. I also tried the Acura RL and didn't think much of it. Nice car, just not as good as the Audi. Purchased mine used with the sport pkg, advanced key, bose stereo, navi, and can't say enough about it. I'll average around 22 actual MPG. Excellent mileage for a 335 HP V8. We're now going to purchase a A4 for my wife. Amazing car!

Traded a my 740i in on the 4.2 A6 and have driven 5000 miles in 2 months. Not one problem and every mile was a thrill. i look forward to driving this every day --- rain, snow or shine. Outstanding acceleration, cornering and highway stability. Audi really got it right!!

Not very good service

In 3 years this car has not had any big issues until recently. Since the dealer replaced a 'recall' part of a fuel filter or pump, the car periodically does not start. Eventually it does (I haven't had to be towed yet). It has been in repair regularly since October and they say it is not replicating what I describe. After several attempts at this, the dealer now has called in a 'special engineer' to work on my car. I am now driving a low budget A4 loaner as the dealer still has my car and has not returned any of my calls. Audi USA service is just as unresponsive and very robotic with all of their responses. They are of no help.

After reading reviews about the A6 having a lot of electrical problems with the MMI system I was very hesitant to buy. However, this was not the case. The car handles unbelievably around corners and has great gas mileage.(I get around 250 mi-300 mi city and close to 400 on highway. Overall the car is stunning both inside and out and I would highly recommend this car. The only downside with this car is that repairs are expensive and most of the time the part must be directly ordered through Germany, so it may take longer than anticipated for your car to be fixed.

As Safe As They Say

I bought a 2005 A6 in 2007, had it 2.5 years, then was rear-ended on a stopped off-ramp by another driver who was going over 60 miles per hour. A 4000 lb car was spun 180 degrees, slid across 2 lanes, down a hill, and over a concrete drain. The car was totaled but I walked away. All 4 doors on the car still worked although the rears were no longer aligned. The car only had minor problems up until it was killed. One LED that went out intermittently. Service, brakes, tires, were about as usual on a euro sedan. Definitely a high speed cruiser but can handle turns very well. Interior quality so much better than BMW. It's a great car. I'm buying another, probably an 07 or 08.
